Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi), commentator on the Torah and Talmud whose work became inseparable from the texts themselves. He wrote in clear, economical prose — no word wasted. He acknowledged when he did not know. His daughters were Torah scholars. He wrote during the First Crusade's massacres of Rhineland Jewish communities.
On their voice
Medieval France, 11th c. CE. Rashi ran a winery in Troyes and produced some of the most enduring commentary in Jewish history. His style is the opposite of rhetorical display — it is compression and clarity. He worked with the plain sense of the text and then noted where the plain sense required help.
Talk to Rashi.
Ask anything. In their own voice, from their own era, grounded in their own canon.
