One of the most attractive features about the Post
office is the frequency with which you meet your
friends there. Another feature is that it's the
est spot in the Center cold days. In this "tom

looks and smells inside just like every other post
office you've been in. IF used its services
little more than now, program of house to house

were out of harmony with MS
own ideas, but it was not his own
views he was expOunding. His pur-
pose was to be the mOuthpiece OF
those who had gone before him,
and the history of Interpretation
shows few who were his equal in
objective reasoning.
One remarkable feature of his
method of Interpretation was his
facile use of Illustration from real
life. The Bible and Talmud touch
constantly upon the details of ev-
eryday life, many of which are
familiar to us now because of Ii
braries of books on ancient his
tory at our disposal, announce
ments of archaeological discoveries,
and museums displaying excavated
materials. Rashi had none of these.
He had to devise his own meth
DDS of exploration, and he had
Furthermore to transfer his ideas
into a non-spoken language. In
this field we must bow before Ra-
shis genius. He did not give way
until he had complete picture
of his goal. He was not satisfied
with mere words, which blind con-
ceptions. He insisted on seeing
things concretely and on recon-
structing as fully as possible the
picture of life in remote ages.
Though his task was hard to
realize i'm many cases, RaShi Strug-
gled to achieve it. By means of
research, he tried to become ac-
i quainted with all accessible rem
nants of Jewish tradition. 1t is
amazing how much of true tradi-
ton was handed down in Israel
through the ages and how quickly
this lore spread in an eVer-eX-
panding diaSpOra. At time when
ScribeS and writing materials were
extremely scarce, it was even diff.
ficult to obtain full copies of the
Bible or of the BabylOnian Tai
mud-nOt to speak of later inter.
pretative material, oral as well as
written.
Rashi's eagerness to enlarge hi:
horizon led him to the Rhenisf
academies. He was already &
trained scholar when he went t.
Mayence, but he knew that HI
could find there advanced meth
DDS and fuller traditions. Colder

tails, were in continuous communi-
cation with Italy and received
through the scholars of Rome trea-
sures of comments AMI response
from the ancient sources of Jew
ish learning in Babylonia n d
Eretz Israel. 1t is evident that
Rashi availed himself of all these
sources. He was not a bookWorm,
combining himself to his library. He
travelled about with open eyes,
observing the everyday life of the
town, viewing the ways of the far
mer, the artisan and the merch-
ant. In Rashi's busy home town of
Troyes he saw well-attended fairs
and rich stores of merchandise.
He watched, he inquired, he at
tended what he saw and found
explanations for many secrets of
his texts.

In the midst of a gigantic world
revolution and the severest on
slaught on the very existence OF
our Jewish people, we are com
memorating a man of letters who
was entirely a-political despite tie
legend that he predicted the early
collapse Of the prospective CHRIS
tan Kingdom of Jerusalem. The
question is whether we are cele-
brating Rashi's anniversary out OF
mere reverence to tradition or be-
cause his work has special ap-
peal to us.
When 1 was young the repre-
sentative of the RASH Research
was Abraham Berliner who had
published critical edition of Ra-
shi's commentary on the Penta-
touch and many valuable con-
tributiOn about RaShi'S life, his
work and school. When his 10th
birthday was celebrated ID aVi d
Hoffman, the famous scholar and
critic, in a toast full of humOr
raised the question why the Yid-
dish language applies to Rashi
the female article-We say: der
Riff, der Rambam, der Bet Josef,
ETC., but we are used to saying Idle
RaShi," and he gave the answer
that RASH is like an attractive
woman, with whom one cannot
start a filtration without falling
in love with her.
Indeed, the attitude of the Jew
ish people towards Rashi is that
of motherly love; in his spiritual
sorrows the Jew found in Rashi's
works refuge and shelter just as
one finds open doors at his moth
er's house. RASH is not a hero who
fills with awe all who come near
to him, he is rather like the Bib
lical gentlewoman who "opens her
mouth in wisdom and has teaching
of love on her tongue"
He is not a systematic thinker,
but he is systematic in his think
ing, a master of even and clear
reasoning, of seeing and present.
ing things as they are. He got
these qualities as a gift from Hea-
ven and is to be compared to the
mama, the bread from Heaven, of
which our sages say that every
body in Israel found in it the
flavor he liked best-children, that
of oil; adults, that of bread; old
aged, that of honey.
Such is the case with Rashi. Ev-
cry generation and every age found
and is finding in his writings
what suits it-no difference be-
tween countries and centuries, be-
tween the old-fashioned Beth ha
Midrash and the modern critical
school, between young and old peo-
pie.
Wherein lies Rashi's greatness
What are RaShi'S achievements ?
He was an eminent master of Ha-
