I think that the type of explanations Rashi's supercommentators innovate to explain Rashi are of a different sort of neo-derash.<br /><br />similarly, Gur Aryeh asserts that she could be labeled a naarah, even though Rashi based on a midrash says that she was three, because she was <b>a very large</b> three year old, and so looked like a 12 year old. this wouldn't be a maalah; this would be a chisaron, and there are easier ways to answer up rashi. indeed, that is why i often feel that Maharal is not true to Rashi's intent, and is nice neo-midrash, though one should not think one is really learning rashi by relying on this type of supercommentary.<br /><br />but ridiculous was meant mostly as a self-criticism, and to make it clear that i was joking...<br /><br />kt,<br />joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-66262643894867583942009-11-13T14:53:18.600-05:002009-11-13T14:53:18.600-05:00Why is this ridiculous?Why is this ridiculous?Yosef Greenberghttp://blog.yachdus.comnoreply@blogger.com
