-GRAND SUMMARY-
OVERVIEW:
========
I will be on travel the next few days. So I will bring
a few COMPLETE ONE-DAY UNITS. These Rashis illustrate
obscure grammatical principles. Dont worry--the units
are NOT technical.
TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we show that the Hebrew letter >LAMED< which
normally is translated as >TO< can also mean >ABOUT<. We
bring 4 Rashis illustrating this.
REFERENCE:
=========
This module comes from the following digest in the
Rashi-is-Simple series
