In this series we review the Rashis on the word ALL.
Although there are 40 Rashis there are 4 simple rules.


RULE: The Hebrew word "ALL"(KL)indicates that there are no
exceptions and that what is being discussed should take place
in ALL circumstances---EVEN those you wouldn't ordinarily think
of.There are 4 methods by which the interpretation of ALL is
implemented.

ALL can indicate

(A) cases you wouldn't ordinarily think of
    --------------------------------------
EXAMPLE:Gn06-12a "ALL Flesh corrupted"
        RASHI: EVEN Animals corrupted



(B) it can indicate that there are no exceptions
    -----------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE:By the 10 commandments it describes how the
        Jewish people all witnessed the miracles

        Ex19-11c "The WHOLE nation saw the thunders"
        RASHI: The "WHOLE" nation--there were no exceptions

(C) it can refer to the parts of a whole
EXAMPLE: In discussing ritual impurity we are told

 LV21-11b "And on ANY dead body he should not come"
 RASHI: It is prohibited to come in contact with a
 WHOLE dead body or with PARTS of a dead body(organs)
 (Rashi gives technical measurements)


(D) it can emphasize not to exclude "obvious exceptions"

In this issue we begin the Rashis where
        >"WHOLE" means EVEN PARTS

>RASHI: It is prohibited to come in contact with a
 WHOLE dead body or with PARTS of a dead body(organs)
 (Rashi gives technical measurements)



(20) Lv27-09a "ANYthing he gives to God will be Holy"
     RASHI:ANYthing--even PARTS of an animal
