	Nissim of Gerona - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rabbi Nissim ben Reuven (1320 - 1380) of Girona was an influential talmudist and authority in Jewish law.
		RaN was considered the greatest Halachic authority of his generation, and queries were sent to him from throughout the Jewish diaspora.
		In his analyses, Nissim frequently refutes other rishonim; in his legal rulings however, he generally adopts their opinions in practise.

	Isaac Alfasi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He studied in Kairouan, Tunisia under Nissim Ben Jacob and Chananel Ben Chushiel (Rabbeinu Chananel) the recognized rabbinical authorities of the age.
		Rabbi Nissim of Gerona (the RaN) compiled a detailed and explicit commentary on this work; In yeshivot "the Rif and the RaN" are regularly studied as part of the daily Talmudic schedule.
		This work was published prior to the times of Rashi and other commentaries, and resulted in a profound change in the study practices of the scholarly Jewish public in that it opened the world of the gemara to the public at large.

		R. Nissim of Gerona, one of the last of the great Spanish medieval talmudic scholars, explains the uniqueness of the community as follows.
		Nissim - each person contributes his singular values.
		As I pointed out above when discussing R. Nissim's version of this idea, the community here is not based on the eradication of the individual; rather it is based on the individuality of the single person, put together with other's individuality.

	Theft From Gentiles
		Going back to the prohibition of stealing from a gentile, there is a debate regarding this prohibition.
		Others believe that theft from gentiles is biblically permitted but the rabbis, using their own authority, prohibited this act for all Jews [see Rashi, Sanhedrin 57a; R. Nissim of Gerona, Chiddushei HaRan, Sanhedrin 57a].
		However that may be, we see that Jewish law clearly forbids stealing from anyone whether Jew or gentile.

	Kol HaKollel - Tetzaveh - 5763 - Torah.org

		Ran (acronym of Rabbeinu Nissim of Gerona, Spain; c.1290-c.1375; famous for his Talmudic commentary) explains in his Drashos HaRan (Discourses of the Ran) that Egyptian society accepted witchcraft as the supernatural force with which the naturally impossible became possible.
		In G-d's mission of revealing Himself to the Jews, the Egyptians and the entire world, He strove to have every detail of every facet of the Jewish redemption speak to the fact that G-d and G-d alone is the force that controls everything - natural and supernatural - that exists.

	"Because they Were Included in the Miracle"
		Several medieval commentators supplement Rashi's words with additional details.
		Nissim of Gerona, citing a "midrash," states that the daughter of Johanan the Hasmonean fed cheese to an enemy general in order to make him drowsy, whereupon she proceeded to cut off his head, thereby allowing her companions to flee to safety.
		He notes that this was the origin of the custom of eating cheese on Hanukkah.

		If they do not take the message to heart and change their character, then eventually these traits will appear in their children, as well.
		We can understand this explanation of Rabbi Hirsch by referring to the well-known remarks of Rabbeinu Nissim of Gerona in his Derashos HoRan (number five), that the reason Avrohom did not want Yitzchok to marry someone from Cana'an is that they had bad character traits which were passed on through their families.
		He therefore sent Eliezer to Padan Aram, where Avrohom's family came from, to find a wife for Yitzchok, even though the people there worshipped idols.
