    4. RASHI METHOD: ALIGNMENT
    BRIEF EXPLANATION: Aligning two almost identically worded verselets can suggest
    • (4a) 2 cases of the same incident or law
    • (4b) emphasis on the nuances of a case
    • (4c) use of broad vs literal usage of words
    This examples applies to Rashis Dt11-13f

    Brief Summary: Both INDIVIDUAL and COMMUNITY must Love God.

    The table below presents an aligned extract of verses in Dt06-05 and Dt11-13f Both verses discuss the obligation to love God with all one's heart. The alignment justifies the Rashi assertion that Both the individual and community must show, each in its own way, Love of God.

Verse Text of Verse Rashi comment
Dt06-05 And thou shalt love HaShem thy G-d with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might. The singular thou is used indicating that this - the commandment to Love God - is an obligation on the individual.
Dt11-13f .... if ye shall hearken to love HaShem your G-d, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul. The plural ye is used indicating that this - the commandment to Love God - is an obligation on the community.
