Now that it is P' Balak, I see that Rashi's sources are almost ENTIRELY Tanchuma, but he never says anything about it. Do you have something to say about this?<br /><br /> Possibly, Sifri has something to say and Rashi chose to ignore it, that which isn't true in Korach, where Sifri had nothing to say; however, I didn't check.banoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-38328463616689057002012-06-29T15:16:35.352-04:002012-06-29T15:16:35.352-04:00Is the Divrei Dovid available in English?Is the Divrei Dovid available in English?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-34211905207529897022011-06-22T23:17:55.226-04:002011-06-22T23:17:55.226-04:00thanks.

One possible approach, taking it from the other direction, would be to scan through Mekorei Rashi or Berliner and look for the major shifts in sources, and then check for what, if anything, Rashi says at each juncture.<br /><br />kol tuv,<br />joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-16995068444621330162011-06-22T02:19:00.359-04:002011-06-22T02:19:00.359-04:00Excellent post!Excellent post!Sochatchovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-54196616670490365392011-06-21T22:38:12.735-04:002011-06-21T22:38:12.735-04:00I don't usually comment just to give my approv...I don't usually comment just to give my approval of a post, but this one is too good to resist.
