	Rabbeinu Tam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He acquired his name, Tam, because his biblical namesake, Jacob, is described as "tam", implying a straightforward and truthful character.
		Rabbeinu Tam's reputation as a legal scholar spread far beyond France.
		In the field of Hebrew poetry the importance of R. Tam is not slight.

	Star-K Kosher Certification - Kosher Consumer
		Rabbeinu Tam disagrees and states that the requirement of shua, tuvi, and nuz is fulfilled even if the wool and linen are separately combed, spun and twisted and are later combined by weaving or attaching the two together.
		Thus, according to Rabbeinu Tam, the criteria for shatnes forbidden by the Torah will have been met even if they are attached by as little as two stitches as long as both the wool and linen have each undergone the process of shua, tuvi, and nuz.
		Rabbeinu Bachya writes that the prohibition of shatnes is related to Kayin and Hevel, Cain and Abel, the first naturally born human beings who each represented opposite extremes of good and evil.

		Rabbeinu Tam, on the other hand, sees the law of shaatnez as more closely related to the prohibition to plow with an ox and an ass together—that is, to benefit from the combined actions of two incompatible species.
		So according to Rabbeinu Tam, the degree to which the wool and linen have been blended in the garment-making process is irrelevant, since what makes the garment kilayim is not the intermixing itself, but the fact that wool and linen jointly perform a certain function—specifically, the function of a garment.
		In addition, Rabbeinu Tam's approach is supported by the fact that verses 10 and 11, which contain the prohibitions against plowing with an ox and an ass and wearing shaatnez, constitute a single parashah ("paragraph") in the Torah, while verse 9, which forbids mixed sowing, is in a separate parashah.

	Taanit Esther
		Rabbeinu Tam, on the other hand, interprets the Gemara that all gather to observe Taanit Esther to commemorate the fast that the Jews engaged in before the battle against those who were prepared to implement Haman's decree.
		Rabbeinu Tam writes that the Gemara in Megila is the sole source for Taanit Esther.
		Rabbeinu Tam implies that he does not believe that Esther 9:31 is the source for Taanit Esther.

		Rabbeinu Tam's approach is the subject of much discussion by later commentaries.
		The logic of this is that this was a special rabbinic dispensation for the victim who cannot be expected to restrain himself from seizing the offending animal at that moment of anger.
		This approach may also serve to answer the challenge of the Rashash that even according to Rabbeinu Tam there is the problem of the offending animal being worth more than the penalty and requiring court action to reclaim the difference.

		On the one hand, the position of the geonim is effectively expressed by the GR"A’s statement that Rabbeinu Tam cannot be right because hachush makhchish, “one’s senses contradict it”: a glance outside the window will verify that it is pitch fl long before four mil have passed from the time of shkiat.
		Rabbeinu Tam's position may seem to be difficult to defend but consider the following.
		The second opinion is that of Rabbeinu Tam, that the period of bein hashmashot begins later, when light has disappeared from all of the sky except the western horizon.

		Rabbeinu Tam's Tefillin are much holier than Rashi's Tefillin and therefore, they can access the spiritual energies of God's first thought, the world of din.
		Through wearing Rabbeinu Tam's Tefillin (in addition to Rashi's Tefillin) we draw awesome spiritual energies from the spiritual giants of the past, heroes who were able to neutralize afflictions, barriers, and harshness at their root, without the assistance of God's mercy.
		Rabbeinu Tam's Tefillin expand the intelligence, enabling us to break evil at its source and stand up against the forces of evil.

		Judaism 101 - Rabbeinu Tam - A Glossary of Basic Jewish Terms and Concepts - OU.ORG
		Rabbi Yaakov ben Meir; a grandson of RASHI; one of the greatest of the Baalei Tosafot, He is supposed to have said, "I could have written RASHI's commentary on the Talmud, but not his commentary on the Bible.
		He had two famous Torah disagreements with RASHI: one involving the placement of the "Mezuzah," the other involving the "Parshiyot" contained within the "Tefilin." Moshe Rabbeinu himself is supposed to have come to him in a dream and informed him that RASHI's opinion was indeed correct.

		Accordingly, Rambam rules—unlike Rabbeinu Tam—that women are forbidden to recite berakhot (benedictions) when performing time-dependent commandments.15 Consequently, when Maimonides proscribes ten women from reciting birkat ha-zimmun beShem, he is simply being consistent.15* Inasmuch as Ashkenazic practice has adopted Rabbeinu Tam’s view, however, R. Goren rejects any challenge to his thesis from the ruling of Rambam.
		From R. Joseph’s expression of joy, Rabbeinu Tam deduces that when fulfilling a non-obligatory commandment, nothing is altered in its performance—including the recitation of the attendant benedictions.
		Indeed, the halakhic literature is replete with applications of Rabbeinu Tam’s patur ve-ose me-vareikh principle to cases not specifically involving women.35 It is apparent, then, that Rabbeinu Tam’s principle is equally effective for men and women.

	INTRODUCTION TO MASECHES BERACHOS
		His father Rabbeinu Chushiel, was one of the famous "four captives" (a group of Roshei Yeshiva who were captured by pirates and redeemed separately by communities along the Mediterranean coast) lived in Kirouan, N. Africa after being redeemed from bondage, and it was there that he fathered Rabbeinu Chananel.
		The commentary of Rabbeinu Chananel on Berachos was recently printed and annotated by Rav David Metzger (1990, Jerusalem; Wagschal), and appears in the margins of the Wagschal edition of Berachos as well.
		Rabbeinu Tam was the son of Rashi's daughter.

		In his commentary to the Tur, the Derishah (Orach Shaim Siman 34 Ot 1), among others, quotes sources which relate that an ancient pair of Tefillin, which had been buried, was uncovered and the Parshiyos therein were found to follow the order presented by Rashi, implying that this is the correct practice.
		Sif 3) rules that Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin should be worn only by one who is known to be a very pious person; the Mishnah Berurah (Ibid.
		Sif Katan 6) however, writes that if one is in a place where the practice of most people is to wear Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin, it is not a sign of haughtiness for one to do this, and it is thus permissible.

	RavFrand List - Rabbi Frand on Parshas Ki Savo - Torah.org
		Rabbeinu Tam [Rosh HaShanna 16a D.H. Kman Matzlinan] states that the exact time when a person will become sick is in fact a decree from Heaven, however the timing of the cure is not decreed.
		This statement of Rabbeinu Tam seems to contradict the previously quoted Gemara in Avodah Zarah that explicitly states that the cure and duration of the illness is also decreed.
		In other words, Rabbeinu Tam agrees that there is a decreed time when the illness will leave, however a person has the power through his prayers to expedite that departure.

		Rabbeinu Tam says that once you violate the mitzvah of hefker, the fruit becomes assur to eat.
		The Rav thought that even if we poskin like Rabbeinu Tam, there is still no issur cheftza, only an issur gavra; therefore, at least from the perspective of issur akhilah, there is no problem with using a Shviyis Esrog.
		There is a question on the Maharal from a Tosfos which says that Rabbeinu Tam would eat egg matzah on Erev Pesach, since the only prohibition on eating matzah on Erev Pesach is on those matzos on which you would fulfill your chiyuv.

	WOMEN'S PRAYER SERVICES - THEORY AND PRACTICE \ Rabbi Aryeh A.& Rabbi Dov I. Frimer
		Rabbeinu Tam no doubt intended these guidelines to be applied broadly, so that anyone-man or woman-who is exempt and yet performs a mitsvah may also make the relevant blessing.
		Thus, Rabbeinu Tam's heter (permissive ruling) to allow reciting a benediction over the voluntary performance of a commandment is broad in that it applies to both men and women alike.
		Rabbeinu Tam's patur ve-ose me-vareikh principle may allow the recitation of hovot ha-yahid, personal berakhot, but it cannot allow the recitation of devarim she-bi-kdusha nor any other hovot ha-tsibbur, communal berakhot, such as those listed in the Mishna in Megilla.

	Havolim: A Remarkable Brisker Chumroh on Schach
		Second, he says that even Rabbeinu Tam, which the MA says would apply to tzitzis, agudas lulov, and putting up the schach, doesn’t really hold like that.
		Rabbeinu Tam’s limud only applies to objects which have no meaning outside of the mitzvoh, like lulov ogud and tzitzis.
		So it could be that Rabbeinu Tam holds like the Machzor Vitri, and holds that the din hiddur we find by igud lulov is because it contributes to holding the minim together, which is a to’eles in the kiyum hamitzvoh.

		Rabbenu Tam's position, at least as far as Friday night is concerned, did become standard practice in Eastern Europe around the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th century, for reasons that I hope to explain elsewhere.
		Certainly, the Geonim and R' Eliezer of Metz (a student of Rabbeinu Tam's!) disagreed with Rabbeinu Tam's view centuries before the Levush and the advent of modern astronomy.

	Shehecheyanu - Part II
		Rabbeinu Simcha, on the other hand, feels that Shehecheyanu is not said in this case, but his reasoning is that a Brit Mila is an occasion where there are partners - the father and the mother - involved in the simcha (see last week's Chabura concerning Shehecheyanu being said only by an individual).
		Thus, Rabbeinu Simcha seems to be saying that the happiness that leads one to say Shehecheyanu is not the joy that is inherent in the performance of a mitzva, but rather a more general joy that results naturally from achieving this milestone in life.
		Hagahot Maimoniyot quotes Rabbeinu Tam, who holds that Shehecheyanu is recited during the day of Purim both because that is when the main mitzva to read is and because of the meal that will come later in the day.

		Rabbeinu Tam, who maintains the latter view, infers his position from another Mishnah (Ketubot 100b).
		However, he also cites Rabbeinu Tam's view (44:7) that a get is nevertheless required rabbinically.
		As we have mentioned above, Rabbeinu Tam rules demands a get to dissolve the marriage if a man discovers that his wife is an ailonit.

		According to Rebbeinu Tam even cooking or roasting the fish in the meat vessel is permitted.
		As to the case of the tznon, Rabbeinu Tam relies on the second explanation of Rashi that the reason why the tznon is forbidden is because of the fatty substances of meat which are left on the knife but not seen and are absorbed into the tznon.
		Rabbeinu Tam, on the other hand, holds that the second view that even cooking is permitted, is a certain din both for Rashi and himself.

		According to the Mishna Berura, where one expressly intends not to fulfill keriyat shema through the early reading even Rabbeinu Tam would say that it is still preferable to pray with the community than to pray all of ma'ariv as an individual.
		Even authorities that rule like Rabbeinu Tam do not necessarily hold that blessings over mitzvot are preferable to paraying with a minyan; they might just say that in this situation this conflict does not arise.
		Rabbeinu Tam - We rely on Rabbi Yehuda (the Tanna) and others who hold that night begins at "pelag ha-mincha" (an hour and a quarter before sunset) and keriyat shema can be said starting then.

		The general approach of the commentators, therefore, is to restrict R. Tam’s opinion only to those who have already mastered Tanach in their youth; in other words to adults and not to children.
		Rabbeinu Tam comments that one who has sated himself with Scripture and is thoroughly versed in the 24 holy books needs not devote one third of his time to them, for the Babylonian Talmud is permeated with them.

		Rabbeinu Tam's opinion is the basis of Ashkenazi practice in this regard - women make the birkat mitzva over time-bound mitzvot they fulfill, even though they are not obligated in them.
		So it is legitimate for them to say "He has commanded us." This approach to resolving Rabbeinu Tam's line of thought, that women, as part of the people of Israel, are included in the GENERAL command to keep all of the mitzvot, was avoided by the Rosh.
		Rabbeinu Tam believed that the ability to be commanded in time-bound mitzvot was not withheld from women.
