Rashi's Torah Commentary draws upon comments made by Rashi throughout each of the Torah portions in the Five Books of Moses and extracts the basic thoughts, ideas, and values of Judaism that are embedded in each of his brief comments. The author, Pinchas Doron, fully develops these ideas and shows how Rashi's Torah commentary attained such unparalleled regard.

Many supercommentaries on Rashi deal with specific questions about his writings. By contrast, the present volume concentrates entirely on developing the general ideas and moral lessons inherent in Rashi's direct comments, which are generally just alluded to by Rashi himself.

Rashi's Torah Commentary is a condensed version of the author's five-volume Hebrew study and is intended for both the lay reader and scholar alike.

Rabbi Pinchas Doron was born in Lancut, Poland in 1933. He lived in Israel from 1952 ? 1964 where he was a member of Kibbutz Lavee. Rabbi Doron studied at Teachers' Institute and Hebrew University, where he received his B.A. and M.A. He received his Ph.D. in Hebraic Studies from New York University. He is the author of many titles, including The War of Truth, Interpretation of Difficult Passages in Rashi, Vols I-IV (Hebrew), and The Mystery of Creation. Rabbi Doron currently lives in Brooklyn.
