*10 QUESTION:If Rules are mechanical and anyone can master
them they what is the greatness of the Gedolim.Isnt
their greatness that they have tremendous insights
that we dont have.

ANSWER:
NO!. The greatness of a Gadol is precisely that he has
mastered the rules and can base his inferences on logic,
not on subjectivity.

It is a fundamental principle of Judaism that EVERYONE
CAN MAKE IT. There is no such thing as a BORN GREAT person.
Rather every person has GREATNESS accessible to him if
they work at it.

This is explicitly stated in the Bible It explicitly
states in Dt30-11:14
---------------------------------------------------
For the law/commandments that I give you today is
neither above you nor far away--it is not in heaven...
it is not over a sea....that you should say who will
get it for us...rather these words are CLOSE TO YOU
BOTH IN MIND AND SPEECH to do
----------------------------------------------------

Perhaps an analogy with chess will help. 300 years
ago people use to believe that chess masters were
geniuses who had tremendous insights that ordinary
people did not have. In other words, the Chess masters
were sort of Gedolim.

This was contradicted by a 30 year research project
by an obscure person named Steinitz. Steinitz showed
that there are CHESS RULES (just like there are RASHI
RULES). Steinitz spent 30 years showing in his publications
that games were won because rules were followed not because
people were geniuses.

And to continue the analogy: Steinitzs theories were
eventually modified (Though his basic ideas remained)
So too...I have continuously modified my Rashi rules.
But the basic idea that Rashi-ing a text is a product
of rules and mastery of skills--not of genius--must
remain.

Each and every person must believe that if they want
to master these rules they can. This is a fundamental
principle of Judaism.

I hope this website makes people appreciate the
mechanical nature of Rashi-ing a text and leads to
greater appreciation of Rashi and Judaism.

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
A powerful Rashi technique is the ALIGNMENT method by
which almost similar verses are aligned. The minor
differences shed light on meaning and nuances

EXAMPLE Nu10-12b
----------------
We compare Nu10,Nu11 with  Nu33-16:17. Each chapter
lists journeys. By ALIGNING the chapters we infer
that
- PARAN WILDERNESS is a GENERAL place that contained
- INDIVIDUAL cities like PASTURES and BURY-LUSTFUL

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis main methods is the skillful use of
cross-references to illuminate other verses.

EXAMPLE Nu10-31c
-----------------
Moses begs his father-in-law
-----------------------------------------------------
- please stay with us since you APPRECIATE our journeys
-----------------------------------------------------

The word APPRECIATE is further illuminated by Jethros
own use of the word in Ex18-11
--------------------------------------------
- Now I APPRECIATE that God is greater than
- other gods since God punished the Egyptians
- according to what they did...so did He do
- to them
--------------------------------------------

In other words---Jethro APPRECIATED Gods miracles in
the journeys of the Jews.

COMMENTS
*1 Rashi states the following: "If MOTHERS make mistakes it
is because they raise children; if SINGLE women make
mistakes it is because they try to pick people up"
Rashi should be perceived as giving ILLUSTRATIONS of
why being without children is disgraceful for women

*2 Jacob did not NEED permission to leave with HIS wife
But his father-in-law would perceive it as STEALING
his daughter.

*3 Gn27-41 states that Esauv hated Jacob for stealing the
blessing. Gn27-44 states that after a few years this
hatred would subside. Hence Gn33-09 with its statement
I DONT NEED YOUR MONEY confirms these other 2 verses.

*4 Rashi is NOT commenting on the MERE coincidence that
Shimon and Levi are called BROTHERS in two places.
-Gn49-05 talks about Shimon and Levi KILLING and
PLUNDERING
-Gn34 also talks about SHIMON and Levi KILLING
and plundering.
Thus the cross reference is clear. The accident
that they are called BROTHERS in both places
simply spices up the correspondence.

*5 There are many verses which explicitly confirm
Lv06-05b - that the DAILY UP OFFERING must be
the first offering of the day and the last (any
other offerings must be offered strictly inbetween
them). Here is a partial list of verses where this
principle is enunciated
Nu28-15,23,24,31 Nu29-06,11,16,22,25...Lv03-05*10

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 Lv06-05b only speaks about THE UP..but in light
of these other verses the word THE clearly refers
to the DAILY UP.

Rashi(following the Talmud) further declares
--------------------------------------------
We also derive from this verse (Lv06-05b) That:
Just as no offering can be offered BEFORE
the DAILY UP (the DAILY UP must be the FIRST)
so no offering can be offered AFTER the
EVENING DAILY UP (the EVENING DAILY UP must
be the LAST).
--------------------------------------------

My own opinion is that Rashi simply indicates
a derivation by analogical logic (not by
verse derivation). In other words since all
the other verses state
----------------------------------------
this offering must be offered AFTER (AL)
the MORNING DAILY UP
----------------------------------------
we infer (by LOGIC, not by VERSE) that
the EVENING DAILY UP should have a similar
status (no offering offered AFTER)

(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently infers conclusions from the OVERALL
PARAGRAPH structure and its development style

EXAMPLE Lv22-04:07 Nu05-02
---------------------------
The above verses NATURALLY form a Biblical Paragraph
that BULLETS possibilities of becoming IMPURE followed
by a purification procedure. Here is the outline

- INTRODUCTION: If a priest become impure thru
- BULLET--1---  Leprosy
- BULLET--2---  Unusual flows
- BULLET--3---  Or if he touches someone UNCLEAN to the dead
- BULLET--4---  Or a man with seminal flow
- BULLET--5---  Or he touches a dead animal
- BULLET--6---  Or he touches a man IN ANY STATE OF UNCLEANESS
- CONCLUSION    When he becomes impure he cant eat offerings

As can be seen BULLETS (3) and (6) seem to refer to
touching UNCLEAN men. Since this is a bulleted list
it is natural to identify these as two cases:
- BULLET 3 refers to a priest who touches someone
who had touched a dead man
- BULLET 6 refers to a priest who touches a dead man himself

An almost similar Rashi applies to Nu05-02c
- SEND OUT OF THE CAMP
- BULLET A: any LEPOR
- BULLET B: any person with UNUSUAL FLOWS
- BULLET C: any person UNCLEAN TO THE SPIRIT

Thus bullet A corresponds to bullet 1 above
Similarly Bullet B corresponds to Bullet 2 above
We conclude that Bullet C corresponds to Bullets 3 and 6.
That is the BULLETED structure leads us to interpret the
words UNCLEAN TO SPIRIT to refer to UNCLEAN BY CONTACT
WITH A DEAD PERSON WHOSE SPIRIT HAS LEFT HIM(Or contact
with a person who touched a dead body)

We infer further items from the 2 bulleted structures.
- We infer that BULLET B includes both unusual and
usual flows (Bullets 2 and 4)

- We infer that BULLET C includes bullets 3,5,6--that
is contact with anything dead.

This method of inference--based on broad paragraph design
differs from the traditional methods--say that of the Malbim,
-- who makes these inferences from INDIVIDUAL WORDS (vs
PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE)--that is the phrases ALL people
with flow and ALL people with uncleanness to the spirit
implies that ALL unclean people are included in the law.

EXAMPLE Nu10-30a
----------------
Jethro refuses Moses offer to stay with the Jewish
people. Jethro explains that he must return
- TO my LAND
- TO my BIRTHPLACE
The repeated KEYWORD, TO, has a bullet like effect
It indicates two reasons for returning to ones country.
Rashi further explains these two reasons
- LAND=place of contacts for JOBS
- BIRTHPLACE=Place of family members

BULLET-2 Unusual flows B Unusual flow
BULLET-3 UNCLEAN to dead*1 C UNCLEAN TO SPIRIT
BULLET-4 Man with seminal flow B Unusual flow*2
BULLET-5 dead animal C Unclean to spirit
BULLET-6 ANY STATE OF UNCLEANESS*1 C Unclean to spirit
COMMENTS
*1 The precise Rashi argument is as follows
- The paragraph structure CLEARLY shows a BULLETED LIST
- Hence we are justified in identifying each BULLET
as a separate item
- But bullets 3 and 6 seem to refer to contact with humans
- So Rashi interprets bullet 3 as a priest who touches
a person who touched a dead body
- but bullet 6 refers to a priest who touches a dead body

Furthermore,
since bullet 6 states IN ANY UNCLEAN STATE we are justified
in including all unclean human states (CONTACT WITH DEAD,
LEPROSY, UNUSUAL FLOW)*10

*2 Of course verse Nu05-02 only lists Bullets A,B,C once.
I have repeated them to show the correspondence with
Lv22-04:07. The paragraph design itself suggests that
the 3 Bullets of Nu05-02 (A,B,C) refer to the same
class of items in Bullets 1,2,3,4,5,6 in Lv22-04:07.

That is both paragraphs refer to the same classes
of unclean people
- Lepors
- People with flows (Unusual or ordinary)
- Contact with dead (Dead people,dead animals,or
people who touched dead people)
We clearly see here that the inference is based on
PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE vs NUANCES OF WORDS *11

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 LIST005n presents the five meanings of ALL (one of which
is ANY which indicates that ANY uncleanness can be
included - NO EXCEPTION)

*11 This method of inference--based on broad paragraph design
differs from the traditional methods--say that of the Malbim,
-- who makes these inferences from INDIVIDUAL WORDS (vs
PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE)--that is Malbim infers from
the phrases--ALL people with flow and ALL people with
uncleanness to the spirit--Malbim infers from these
phrases that we include ALL unclean people(Unusual vs
ordinary flows etc).

I believe this example hilights the difference between my
approach (Emphasis on paragraph structure and broad sweeping
design) vs the traditional approach of say Nechama Leibowitz,
Rabbi Boncheck, or Malbim. While there might be sympathy
for making inferences from the word ALL, I think that my
position, that inferences can be made from PARAGRAPH DESIGN
is equally cogent.

In passing I would answer Malbim as follows:
- The sifrah in Lv22-04:07 clearly derives from the word
- ALL that the laws apply eg to other unclean people such as
- those who have had contact with a lepor
- (vs the lepor himself) Since the Sifrah makes this
- inference in Leviticus I think a similar inference is
- justified in Numbers.

At any rate to summarize:
- The references of the Bullets in Lv and Nu are made,
according to me, based on broad paragraph design.
Both sets of bullets refer to the same items
- Malbim however infers the sameness of reference
based on the meaning and nuances of individual words
like ALL which indicates broad meaning.
- I go further and infer from the word ALL that all other
unclean people are included in these laws.

This is a fundamental difference in approach--carefully
review this and understand it.

Nu09-22a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is to indicate paragraph
structure. One method of paragraph
structure is to use the CLIMAX method to infer meaning
That is, the ASSUMED CLIMACTIC development of a paragraph
theme forces inference of meaning from the paragraph structure
EVEN if the individual words dont justify this.

EXAMPLE Nu09-22a
----------------
Nu09-20:22 has the GENERAL theme that the CLOUD of GLORY
could stay ANY LENGTH OF TIME and then depart.
This GENERAL theme is developed as follows:

GENERAL Nu09-20 The cloud could stay ANY NUMBER OF DAYS

DETAIL  Nu09-21 - the cloud could stay..TWELVE HOUR PERIOD
DETAIL  Nu09-21 - or it could stay......DAY AND NIGHT
DETAIL  Nu09-22 - or if the cloud stays TWO DAYS
DETAIL  Nu09-22 - or .................. A MONTH
DETAIL  Nu09-22 - or .................. DAYS

Rashi: The CLIMACTIC development
- 12 hours
- 24 hours
- 2 days
- Month
- DAYS
clearly shows that the word DAYS means a YEAR (Even
though DAYS by itself normally does not mean a YEAR)

Here Rashi infers meaning from PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE
and CLIMACTIC development (but not from the meaning
of the words involved).

This is a fundamental principle! Understand it.
