devorah, youve mistaken oomis15’s point. i can see how. she was in no way attacking rashi, chas vesholom. she was saying in his repsect, just because he wrote something, doesnt mean that he couldnt have meant something other then the way some rebbeim in 3rd grade explain it. the other explanations as to what the rashi may mean actually make alot more sense then what i was ever taught. it never made any sense that after 80 years of being married, he never knew what sora looked like. the 2 explanations fit very nicely with the words of rashi, and it wouldnt be the first time rashi should be taken in a non literal sense.
