Shlomo Yitzhaki Hebrew: רבי שלמה יצחקי or Isaacides and better known by the acronym Rashi Hebrew: רש"י RAbbi SHlomo Itzhaki was a medieval French rabbi famed as the author of a comprehensive commentary on the Talmud as well as a comprehensive commentary on the Tanakh Hebrew Bible. He is considered the "father" of all commentaries that followed on the Talmud i.e. the Baalei Tosafot and the Tanakh i.e. Ramban Ibn Ezra Ohr HaChaim et al. Acclaimed for his ability to present the basic meaning of the text in a concise yet lucid fashion Rashi appeals to both learned scholars and beginning students and his works remain a centrepiece of contemporary Jewish study. His commentary on the Talmud which covers nearly all of the Babylonian Talmud a total of 30 tractates has been included in every edition of the Talmud since its first printing by Daniel Bomberg in the 1520s. His commentary on Tanakh — especially his commentary on the Chumash "Five Books of Moses" — is an indispensable aid to students of all levels. The latter commentary alone serves as the basis for more than 300 "super-commentaries" which analyze Rashi's choice of language and citations penned by some of the greatest names in rabbinic literature.

Toning and mild soiling to wrappers rear wrapper detached but present; contents clean and sound. Advance issue of the first report on how the disaster at Pearl Harbor unfolded and why the United States was caught unprepared. The members of the Board were General George Grunert Major Henry D. Russell Major Walter H. Frank Colonel Charles W. West Colonel Harry A. Toulmin and Major Henry C. Clausen. They were appointed to "ascertain and report facts relating to the attack made by Japanese Armed Forces upon the territory of Hawaii on 7 December 1941" and much of the evidence they gathered is presented here. Among their conclusions: The attack on Pearl Harbor "was daring well-conceived and well-executed and caught the defending forces practically unprepared to meet it or to minimize its destructiveness." The extent of the disaster was due to the failure of the Commanding General of the Hawaiian Department to alert his command for war and to the War Department for failing to keep him apprised of developments in U.S.-Japanese negotiations. The report also names serveral individuals in positions of authority and details their errors and failures most of which relate to inadequate communication to subordinates resulting in a failure to act and lack of preparedness. unknown
