Rashi

French rabbi and commentator (1040–1105)

Shlomo Yitzchaki (Hebrew: רבי שלמה יצחקי, romanized: Rabbî Šĕlōmō Yiṣḥāqî; c. 22 February 1040 – 13 July 1105), commonly known by the Rabbinic acronym Rashi (רש״י), was a French rabbi and commentator who authored comprehensive commentaries on the Talmud and Hebrew Bible. Born in Troyes, Rashi studied Torah studies in Worms under German rabbi Yaakov ben Yakar and French rabbi Isaac ben Eliezer Halevi, both of whom were pupils of the famed scholar Gershom ben Judah. After returning to Troyes, Rashi joined the beth din, began answering halakhic questions and later served as the beth din's head after the death of Zerach ben Abraham.
