Rashi's surname Yitzhaki derives from his father's name, Yitzhak.

His work on the Bible, probably sometimes called Yesod, and known only by quotations found mostly in Rashi's commentaries, contained extracts from earlier haggadic works as well as midrashic explanations of his own.

Legend also states that the couple moved to Worms, Germany while Rashi's mother was expecting.

* Rashi's middle daughter, Miriam, married Judah ben Nathan, who completed the commentary on Talmud Makkot which Rashi was working on when he died.

The first dated Hebrew printed book was Rashi's commentary on the Chumash, printed by Abraham ben Garton in Reggio di Calabria, Italy, 18 February 1475.

Scholars believe that the commentary which appears under Rashi's name in those books was compiled by the students of Rabbi Saadiah of the Rhine, who incorporated material from Rashi's yeshiva.

Of note in recent times is Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson's novel interpretation of Rashi's commentary, which was delivered in a series of public talks that began in 1964 and continued for over 25 years.

Finally, the Rashbam, Rashi's grandson argues that their sin was an error-not done on purpose-and that they thought they were supposed to bring their offering.

An important alteration in the wording of the Kol Nidre was made by Rashi's son-in-law, Rabbi Meir ben Samuel ( early 12th century ), who changed the original phrase " from the last Day of Atonement until this one " to " from this Day of Atonement until the next.

Further, the term tosafot was not applied for the first time to the glosses of Rashi's continuators, but to the Tosefta, the additions to the Mishnah compiled by Judah ha-Nasi I. Tosefta is a Babylonian term, which in Jerusalem writings is replaced by tosafot.

The chief home of tosafot literature was incontestably France, for it began with Rashi's pupils, and was continued mainly by the heads of the French schools.

Legend has it that when Rashi was holding his infant grandson, the baby touched the tefillin that were on Rashi's head.

Meir of Rothenburg ( c. 1215 – 2 May 1293 ) was a German Rabbi and poet, a major author of the tosafot on Rashi's commentary on the Talmud.

The latter commentary alone serves as the basis for more than 300 " supercommentaries " which analyze Rashi's choice of language and citations, penned by some of the greatest names in rabbinic literature.

Siddur Rashi, compiled by an unknown student, also contains Rashi's responsa on prayer.

Other compilations include Sefer Hapardes, edited by Rabbi Shemayah, Rashi's student, and Sefer Haoraah, prepared by Rabbi Nathan Hamachiri.

In 2006, the Jewish National and University Library at Hebrew University put on an exhibit commemorating the 900th anniversary of Rashi's death ( 2005 ), showcasing rare items from the library collection written by Rashi, as well as various works by others concerning Rashi.

Voluminous supercommentaries have been published on Rashi's commentaries on the Bible and Talmud, including Gur Aryeh by Rabbi Judah Loew ( the Maharal ), Sefer ha-Mizrachi by Rabbi Elijah Mizrachi ( the Re ' em ), and Yeri ' ot Shlomo by Rabbi Solomon Luria ( the Maharshal ).

Rashi's explanations of the Chumash were also cited extensively in Postillae Perpetuae by Nicholas de Lyra ( 1292 – 1340 ), a French Franciscan.

The prevailing custom is to arrange the scrolls according to Rashi's view, but some pious Jews are also accustomed to briefly lay the teffilin of Rabbeinu Tam as well, a custom adopted by the Hasidim.

The first tosafot recorded are those written by Rashi's two sons-in-law, Meïr b. Samuel of Ramerupt ( RaM ) and Judah ben Nathan ( RIBaN ), and by a certain R. Joseph ( Jacob Tam, " Sefer ha-Yashar ," No. 252 ; " Haggahot Mordekai ," Sanh., No. 696 ; see below ).

* Rashi's oldest daughter, Yocheved, married Meir ben Shmuel ; their four sons were: Shmuel ( Rashbam ) ( b. 1080 ), Yitzchak ( Rivam ) ( b. 1090 ), Jacob ( Rabbeinu Tam ) ( b. 1100 ), and Shlomo the Grammarian, who were among the most prolific of the Baalei Tosafos, leading rabbinic authorities who wrote critical and explanatory glosses on the Talmud which appear opposite Rashi's commentary on every page of the Talmud.

Rashi's students, Rabbi Shemaya and Rabbi Yosef, edited the final commentary on the Torah ; some of their own notes and additions also made their way into the version we have today.

Other Rabbinic sources also take issue with Rashi's commentary, and indeed, there exists a tradition among Orthodox Rabbis to name their daughters Bruriah, as an assertion of her righteousness.
