Rashi's Torah Commentary: Religious, Philsophical, Ethical, and Educational Insights

Summary: Too much Pinchas, not enough Rashi
Review: The title says it all.

It's great to have the important work by Rashi available in a good English translation; but this is a greatly abridged version, so lots of Rashi is missing, and too much of Pinchas Doron is there. One begins to wonder if this ultimately is Rashi's commentary or Doron's.

And I concede this is a petty quibble, but the editor should have taken the exclamation point key away from Doron's word processor: he concludes almost every sentence with a ! instead of a period, which not only loses the emphatic effect of an !, it rapidly becomes irritating and, more importantly, trivializes Doron's explanatory material.
