How do I know when a peirush or comment is authentic? How do I know when it is an interpolation or later additon? In most cases, we check the manuscript, but when it comes to Rashi, we can't- we don't have his original manuscript, and nobody knows what happened to it. It seems that we should try to locate the oldest manuscript- but that still dates to 130 years after Rashi's death. A lot can happen in 100 years. In this shiur, we focus on the additions or interpolations added to Rashi's text. We ask -how can one identify an interpolation? Who added them? What type of additions are there - were they pshat or drash? We touch upon these issues and experience this fascinating phenomenon together.
