[Avodah] A Look at Rabbi Hirsch's Commentary

[Prof. Levine]

Please download the Word document at 
http://www.biu.ac.il/JH/Parasha/eng/ytro/847Gan.doc for an evaluation 
of RSRH's commentary on the Chumash by Dr. Tova Ganzel of Bar-Ilan's 
HaMidrashah and Department of Bible. Her concluding paragraph is
The Bible-critical edifice built in the 19th century still stands 
firm.  Therefore, Rabbi Hirsch's commentary on the Torah is no less 
relevant than it was in the past.  Hence Rabbi Hirsch's ideas, 
including those that stemmed from polemics below the surface of his 
commentary on the Torah, still hold pride of place.
