     Itzhak TZARFARTI rRefused to sell a jewel he owned as a decoration for the Madonna. Although the local Christians were willing to pay a great price for it, he preferred to throw it away rather than see it become a part of idolaterous worship. As a reward, he was granted a son of the calibre of Rashi, who became a living spirtual jewel. One day when Rashi's mother was pregnant with him, she was almost run down by a crusader, but a niche opened up miraculously in a nearby wall and she was able to shelter there. This wall later become a well-known landmark.

     Schlock Rock wrote a song about Rashi.

     Who was born in France and sent to Yeshiva
     studied in Worms and on his return
     he founded a school and wrote commentaries?
     Everyone knows it's Rashi.
     Whose words are written under the Chumash,
     the inside of every page of Talmud?
     Whose three daughters married great scholars?
     Everyone knows it's Rashi.
     And Rashi was so concise, and in his own script did write.
     And if you want to know why just look inside.
