Journey to France: Troyes - The Burial Site of Rashi on His Yahrtzeit '

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

spot is not more visited, but according to recent findings this is the precise location that Rashi's original burial site laid. And today is his yard site of test Thomas. Rashi, where does this name come from? Resh, Shin, Yud. So, the Hida writes that firstly in order not to write Reb Resh Shin because Resh Shin would mean Rash poor, so they added Yud for Yitzchaki for the the name of his father. Furthermore, the Yud the Hida says probably stands for Yarchi of Luniel. Rashi's family hailed from Luniel from Yarchi from the lotion of Yoreach the moon. However, it is brought in many Sefarim Reb Ovadia Yosef quotes that Rashi stands for Rabban Shel Yisrael. This is the rabbi of all of Klal Yisrael. As we mentioned through the works of Rashi, the Talmud Bavli became available. The Tanakh became accessible. This is all through the work of Rashi. Now, there's a very interesting idea brought by the Hida. The Hida says that he has a tradition that Rashi fasted 613 fast days before he wrote his commentary on the Torah and that the words of Rashi contain Kabbalistic meaning as well. And we have a lot of makorot for this. So, for example, in the Sefer Seder HaDorot he brings every word of Rashi was written al pi Kabbalah as well. We have in the Levush the Levush of Mordechai Yaffe wrote a commentary on Rashi. We mentioned more than 200 commentaries written on Rashi. He says every word of Rashi has two dimensions al pi pshat and al pi Kabbalah. Rav Chaim Palagi writes in the Sefer Kenesset HaGedolah that Rashi was written al derech ha-pshat ve-al derech ha-Kabbalah. And this is very interesting because Rav Menachem Palagi teaches us that Rashi was the gilgul of the Amora
