Todays Hayom Yom - The Alter Rebbe once said: Rashis commentary on Chumash is the wine of Torah. It opens the heart and uncovers ones essence-love1 and essence-fear (of G-d). Rashis commentary on Talmud opens the mind and uncovers the essence-intellect.2 FOOTNOTES 1. See Supplementary Footnotes in the printed version. 2. Rashis genius lay (in part) in his ability to express the essence of the Talmudic concept briefly, succinctly, and in terms lucid to the beginning student, yet providing illumination to the seasoned scholar. Rashi engages the core of intellect of the student, the pre-verbal cognition that may develop into depth and breadth of comprehension.
