Sapirstein Edition Rashi: The Torah With Rashi's Commentary Translated, Annotated, and Elucidated

1) Rashi belongs in every Jewish library. 2) This is the Rashi on Torah you should get. You'll be able to go back to it again and again. And it is worthy of a library being produced in Mesorah Artscroll style and in a slipcover for the five individual volumes. They are beautiful. The typography is meaningful as mentioned by other reviewers. My problem came when I had the product shipped. I had ordered another book also and got an email that each were estimated to arrive on Nov 19. That came and went. The other book had arrived three days earlier, and I was out of town and returned Sunday evening finding no books and was worried. I tracked the package and found out that FedEx SmartPost was used and saw some crazy stuff like the package going to Atlanta twice and passing through my local post office. I tried to get to the bottom of it. I did get the set a little earlier than I expected by the last estimate from the mail. But then the box they came in was much bigger than the set. The books had come out of the slipcover slightly, upside down, and the box was shoved in with tape strung over not making any contact with the box. How it all got like this I don't know. But no books were damaged at all. A lot of cost for toss up shipping.

Despite of my distance from where this book should be delivered. It was delivered smoothly. Nice books!

Bought it as a gift for somebody else, very elegant set. I ready a few pages and the commentaries are definitely deep. I may get a set for me in the future. I'm not sure what the exact font size is, but it is not large font. It is average size font if that matters.

This commentary set by Rashi is exactly that. It is in excellent condition - to the point that it was not apparent that anyone had actually opened the individual volumes of the set before. Rashi is known as presenting the literal interpretation of the Torah, so it can be considered foundational in understanding the actual events of the Torah.

These are an absolute must for anybody who wants to start a library. With English translation of the famous Rashi Commentary and English notes when needed. The set is also divided into five books which make it very convenient for travel when ever you want to go somewhere you don't have to take a massively huge book with you everywhere that you go.

Look forward to reading these, although it’ll take me quite some time to digest.

This boxed set of Rashi's commentary on the Torah is a beautiful set of five volumes. Each has marbled page edges and carved leather boards. A very nice set. Arrived two days early and was shipped quickly. A very fine seller.

The reason I gave these beautiful books only 3 stars is because of the shipping. Sealing tape was applied around the binders of the books, over the edges of the cardboard holder, holding the books in the holder. The tape was hard to remove without tearing up the books and the holder. The glue from the tape will not come off of the books. The first book had a large notch in the corner of the binding that left an unsightly scar. I love the books, but hey are virtually useless because of the glue on the binder. They stick to your hands or whatever the book is lying on. Otherwise, I would have given this edition 5 stars.

An excellent production - extremely usefl with good sized text, clear fonts, sturdy covers, good quality paper. The analyses are quite comprehensive and the footnotes ensure the information from various sources is measured. Would recommend this
