Jewish Biblical exegesis

Suggestion: The following categories should each contain one or a just a few brief paragraphs summing up the main exegetes and their works, with numerous internal links to individual articles. The entries here should be brief in order to provide a useful overview (and will begin simply as lists, though they should eventually be expanded to provide at least some explanation). In-depth descriptions should be left for the specific linked articles.
