A decent and approachable introduction to Rashi. It both includes historical context and information about Rashi himself, as well as Rashi's teachings itself. The book alone, however, has a mild tone of incompleteness. For instance, Wiesel explains very well how Rashi will use Edom, or Edomites as a representation of Christians in his time and place, but does not really present many teachings where this dynamic can be directly and impactfully appreciated. All together, a good, short read.
