As discussed many times, although Rashi (primarily) clarifies peshuto shel mikra,2 his commentary contains “wondrous matters”3 in other areas of Torah, including, “the wine of Torah.”4 However, in order to identify these ideas (in the other dimensions of Torah), we need to first study Rashi’s commentary according to pshat. You, however, said, ‘Why did You harm…?’” 2 {The plain meaning of Scripture, often referred to as “pshat.” Rashi says in his commentary to Bereishis 3:8: “I have come only to explain the plain meaning of the Scripture.” Although there are many levels and depths of interpretation on the Torah, Rashi adopts a straightforward approach.} 3 Shnei Luchos Habris, “Tractate Shavuos” (p. Volume 16 | Vaeira | Sichah 1 projectlikkuteisichos.org - page 2 (Rashi concludes, “But the explanation offered by our Rabbis does not rest well with the text of the Scripture.”) At the end of parshas Shemos, on the verse,11 “Now you will see…” (which records — in Scripture — Hashem’s response to, “Why did You harm”), Rashi says: You questioned My ways, unlike Avraham to whom I said,12 “For through Yitzchak will your seed be called,” following which I said to him,13 “Offer him as a burnt offering,” yet he did not question My ways....”14 We need to clarify a. Why, in the aforementioned explanation — “our Rabbis expounded” in parshas Vayera — does Rashi offer (from the teachings of our Rabbis) proofs that all the Patriarchs “did not question My ways,” whereas at the end of parshas Shemos, he only offers proof regarding Avraham? Even regarding Avraham himself, Rashi, in our parshah, explains the phrase “did not question My ways” cites a different event (when Avraham wanted to bury Sarah, etc.) than the one he cites in his commentary at the end of parshas Shemos (“to whom I said, ‘For through Yitzchak will your seed be called’”). This method is employed in Midrash and in Aggadah Rashi cites “Aggadah that clarifies the words of the verses” only when the simple interpretation does not suffice.} Volume 16 | Vaeira | Sichah 1 projectlikkuteisichos.org - page 3 Rashi’s rule that he only mentions Aggadic teachings that “clarify the words of the verses.”1
