Torah Rashi intertextuality
Rabbi Daniel Gross was born and raised in South Florida. He studied under Rabbi Yochanan Zweig in Miami, Rav Moshe Meiselman at Yeshivas Toras Moshe in Yerushalayim, and Rav Nachum Lansky at Yeshivas Ner Yisroel in Baltimore. He holds a master’s degree in education from Johns Hopkins University and has taught at both the high school and Beis Medrash levels. He has also served on numerous occasions as a guest rabbi and scholar-in-residence.
Rabbi Gross directs a Chumash–Rashi mastery program across multiple Florida schools and is a founding member of Shnayim Yomi Florida, promoting the study of Chumash, Targum, and Rashi. He also serves as Director of Community Engagement at the Hollywood Community Kollel.
Through his Torah podcast, Rabbi Gross explores the connections between Rashi’s commentary, Tanach, and Chazal. By examining the sources Rashi cites and comparing his explanations across different passages, he guides listeners toward a deeper, clearer understanding of Rashi and the weekly parsha.

Torah Rashi intertextuality
A weekly journey into the depth and precision of Rashi’s commentary on the Torah.
Whenever Rashi quotes or references a verse from elsewhere in Tanach, we follow that reference back to its original context and study Rashi’s commentary there as well. By placing these Rashis side by side—comparing language, context, and interpretation—we allow Rashi to illuminate Rashi.
Through this intertextual approach, we uncover connections across Torah and Tanach, clarify difficult passages, compare and contrast seemingly different explanations, and address apparent contradictions within Rashi.
Rather than studying each Rashi in isolation, we seek to see the larger picture: how Rashi’s commentary in one place can unlock his meaning somewhere else.
Each weekly episode focuses on the Parsha and explores how Rashi’s own words throughout Tanach can deepen our understanding of his commentary on the Torah.
