About the Rashbam on the Torah on TorahSages

5 sefarim · 176 perakim

The Rashbam — Rabbi Shmuel ben Meir (c. 1085–1158), Rashi’s grandson and one of the first Baalei HaTosafot — wrote the peirush on the Chumash that follows the peshat all the way, even where the midrash his grandfather brought says otherwise. He records that he discussed this with Rashi, who told him that had he the time he would write new peirushim according to the peshat that is renewed every day. The result is the sharpest reading of the plain sense in the Mikraot Gedolot.

On TorahSages the Rashbam appears in the Chumash text and the other mefarshim — Rashi first among them, so the two readings can be learned side by side on the same pasuk — with the Torah chapter pages linking the leining of each parsha.
