Question
Is it sufficient to read the Torah text twice with Rashi's commentary without reading the Targum?
Answer
The early authorities are divided on this issue, but the halacha is that if one studies the Torah text twice only with Rashi's commentary, he has fulfilled his obligation. However, a God-fearing person should also read the Targum and study Rashi's commentary.
