Rashi (1040-1105), a French Rabbi by the name of Shlomo Yitzchaki, is best known for his comprehensive commentary on the Talmud and commentary on the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), the Passover Haggadah, and the midrash Breisheet Rabbah. In particular, his commentary on the Torah and Talmud is still considered one the fundamental basics that Orthodox Jews must learn to understand the Written and Oral Torah.
Rashi also wrote responsa, composed several liturgical piyutim, was a major transmitter of Jewish tradition, and raised up grandsons and disciples who led the Jewish Torah-world in the ensuing generations.

What is the first sentence in the Book of Genesis?
There are two ways to read the first words of Genesis, and both of them are correct, since each teaches something. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. And the earth was unformed and void (Rashi commentary: "astonishingly empty"), and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. And God said: 'Let there be light,' and there was light."This states that God created everything, and then gets down to some detail."In the beginning of God's creation of the heavens and the Earth, the Earth was (as yet) unformed and void, with darkness upon the face of the deep and the spirit of God hovering over the face of the waters; and God said 'Let there be light,' and there was light."This translation deliberately points us away from God's initial act of Creation and immediately into the details that follow. One reason for such an approach is given in the Talmud (Hagigah 11b), which advises against examining the initial Creation too closely because of its highly esoteric nature.We understand both readings to be correct because the same leading commentary (Rashi, Gen. 1:1) who suggests the second reading, clearly endorses the first (Rashi, Gen. 1:14) as well, as do other traditional sources (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30; Targum and Nachmanides on Gen. 1:1).
What is the evidence that Abraham also loved Ishmael?

How did the Egyptians chase the Israelites if God killed their horses in one of the plagues?
Not all of their horses were killed, since some (perhaps many or most) of the Egyptians found indoor shelter for their animals. The plague struck down only the animals that were not indoors (Exodus 9:3 and 9:19; Rashi commentary, Exodus 14:7).
What city was built with two human sacrifices?
You may be referring to Jericho, as in 1 Kings 16:34. If so, you've made two mistakes. Firstly, no literal human sacrifice was perpetrated. Rather, the transgressor (Hiel) lost his sons as they died of "natural" causes (Rashi commentary), in punishment for his stubbornness in continuing to transgress (he rebuilt Jericho despite Joshua's imprecation). See also Joshua 6:26, which clearly predicts the event, centuries before Hiel's lifetime.The second mistake is that more than two of his sons died, even though only two are named explicitly.The Hebrew name of Jericho comes from the word for smell, because of the abundant fragrant plant-species in the area (Rashi commentary, Talmud Berakhot 43a, quoting the ancient Josephus).
