Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaqi (Rashi): His Life and Approach to Justice in the Torah

Working through Rashi's commentary on Genesis/Berashit i briefly summarize his biography, impact and importance, and then dig into some of his exegesis on the Torah with a focus on the theme of Yisrael as by definition JUST and UPRIGHT individuals. Related to this, i examine Rashi's claims that the Land was granted on the basis of JUSTICE and UPRIGHTNESS alone... not based upon genetic lineage.
