Rashi A Light After The Dark

Rashi A Light After The Dark Ages
In the calm before the Crusades, one man forever changed the way the world would understand the Bible. Set in the 11th Century "Rashi" is the story of an unusual hero, a Bible commentator who lived at the beginning of the Reign of Terror - The Crusades. A winemaker by trade Rashi, in an age of ignorance and illiteracy, taught his daugthers to read and write. He debated politics and theology with his Christian neighbors, and delved into the deeper mysteries of the Bible. Confronting the violent turn of history, brought on by the Crusades, Rashi defended his people's rights to spiritual choice and freedom. In his almost 900 year old commentary, Rashi opens the doors to the subtle wisdom and eternal truths of the Bible. To understand Rashi is to understand the story of the Jews. So come back in time - to a world that began with the belief in one G-d. Produced by Berel Wein, Ashley Lazarus and Allan Leicht, this delightful 1-hour animated historical drama is narrated by Paul Scofield with Leonard Nimoy as Rashi and Armand Assante as the Inkman. Truly educational and entertaining! Color, 1 hour.
