In the calm before the Crusades, one man changed the way Jews would understand the Torah and the world would understand the Bible. Set in the 11th Century, “Rashi” is the story of a unique hero, a Torah commentator who lived at the beginning of the Reign of Terror, the Crusades. A winemaker by trade, Rashi, in an age of illiteracy debated theology with his Christian neighbors and delved into the mysteries of the Bible.
