Interpolated Chumash and Rashi Report

By creating an Interpolated Chumash for the posuk or pesukim being learned, students will experience how Rashi expands and clarifies the meaning of the text of Torah. An interpolated text is one that is altered or expanded by adding additional meaning that is not in the original text. By expanding the translation of the posuk in line with Rashi’s commentary, students will be able to see more clearly how Rashi’s comments fit together with the text of the Chumash. The Rashi Report achieves a similar effect using a different modality by requiring students to orally report on what has taken place in the posuk by pretending to be radio reporters, and incorporating Rashi’s commentary while doing so.
