This document is a "Reader's Guide" intended to accompany Elie Wiesel's book about Rashi (Rabbi Solomon Bar Isaac). It provides a structured set of questions designed to facilitate a deeper understanding of Wiesel's exploration of Rashi's life, work, and legacy. The guide is divided into sections such as "Two Men, Two Worlds," "Interpreting and Reinterpreting," "The Law," "Israel: its People and its Land," "The Crusades," and "The Holocaust." It prompts readers to analyze Rashi's revolutionary approach to Jewish texts, his character, and how his commentaries illuminate Jewish tradition and contemporary issues. The guide also encourages reflection on Wiesel's personal connection to Rashi, particularly in the context of his own experiences with the Holocaust and questions of faith, identity, and the land of Israel. It delves into Rashi's views on truth, justice, and the defense of the Jewish people, connecting ancient wisdom to modern challenges.
