	Hakham Shimon Agassi zt'l
		Rabbenu was twenty-six years old when he started writing his peirush on the Torah, an explanation that began a long chain of outstanding seforim: Zahav Shevo, Imrei Shimon, Bnei Aharon and Shem MiShimon which encompass all parts of the Torah in breadth and depth.
		Rabbenu did not have pleasure from Olam Hazeh, and he described the terrible tragedies that befell him in a sea of tears and blood.
		Rabbenu succeeded in hiding himself so well that when he went up to eulogise Rabbenu Yosef Chaim zt'l in 1909, some of his neighbours were surprised to see a man whom they considered a simple merchant among the chachomim eulogizing.

		Rabbenu Tam became wealthy as a money-lender and a wine-grower in Ramerupt.
		Rabbenu Tam was recognized as the great talmudic authority of his generation.
		Rabbenu Tam and the other tosafists (those scholars credited with writing "tosafot") were so influential that their discussions, the Tosafot, are printed on every page of Talmud along with Rashi's simpler, more direct commentary.

	Yeshiva.org.il - "Motzie Shem Rah" - A Dissertation on Slander
		The Tosafot cite Rabbenu Tam who attacks Rashi's explanation at length, and proceeds therefore to demonstrate that our question in fact deals with a husband who demands 100 silver coins from his father-in-law upon discovering, when consummating the marriage, that his daughter is not a virgin.
		Ran explains Rabbenu Tam's approach: "And this contradiction of testimonies is between the two witnesses themselves; for example, their testimonies were not consistent with one another during the examination by the court.
		Ramban resolves the difficulty raised by the Tosafot against Rabbenu Tam, explaining that because the essence of the testimony revolves around a capital case, the moment that the testimony is nullified in the capital arena, it is similarly nullified in the resulting monetary cases.

	Jewish Law - Articles ("A Suggested Antenuptial Agreement: A Proposal in Wake of Avitzur") (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		It is indeed true that, by virtue of an edict promulgated by the 11th century authority, Rabbenu Gershom, no religious divorce may be effected without the consent of the wife and hence a wife may prevent the remarriage of her estranged husband if she refuses to accept a get.
		Since the disintegration of the marriage is attributable to abandonment by the wife, and since it is she who refuses to accept a divorce, it would, in the absence of a biblical prohibition against polygamy, be inequitable to bar the husband from taking another wife by reason of rabbinic legislation.
		However, the edict of Rabbenu Gershom does require that a minimum of at least one hundred scholars domiciled in at least three different countries or, according to some authorities, three different jurisdictions, certify that dispensation for a second marriage is factually justified.

		First, Rabbenu Gershom declared that a man could have only one wife at a time.
		This law continued in both Babylonia and Spain, where Muslim law definitively forbade bigamy, Rabbenu Gershom decreed that only one wife was permitted.
		This law became binding for all Ashkenazic Jews and established a major cultural split between Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jewry.

		Rabbenu Haim Vital himself tells that his sacred rabbi took him on a raft in the Kinneret, and when they reached a certain point, the Arizal drew water from Miriam’s well and gave it to his student to drink.
		Rabbenu Haim Vital zs”l (Sefer Halikuttim 41) writes that we learn from here that when sounding the recitation of the thirteen attributes, they should be said with awe, trepidation and great intensity.
		Rabbenu Bahya zs”l writes: “You must know that whoever understands the thirteen attributes and knows their explanation and essence, and prays with them intently, his prayer does not return empty-handed unless he has sins that prevent [the efficacy of his prayer].

		It was in this Beit Midrash that Rabbenu Tam’s responsa were preserved and thus the books of Rabbi Eliezer ben Joël ha-Levi from Bonn, who was a disciple of the Regensburg scholars, are one of the main sources of Rabbenu Tam’s responsa.

		After Moshe Rabbenu's death, the Jewish People cried over their loss for 30 days.
		By the time of Moshe Rabbenu's death the Torah had undoubtedly been passed on to the next generation.
		As we say good-bye to Moshe Rabbenu and begin again the Torah reading cycle, we should each look at our own commitment to Hashem and to His Holy Torah, and see whether we as individuals should still be mourning the death of Moshe.

	Midreshet Harova - Shemot 5761
		When Moshe Rabbenu confronts Hashem at the sneh - the burning bush, he is, in a way, confronting himself.
		Rabbenu B'Chaya compares this process to a person leaving a darkened room and emerging into the bright sunlight outside.
		This is reminiscent, of course, of the command to the cohanim to remove their shoes so that nothing comes between their feet and the ground of the Mikdash at the time when they are performing the Avoda.

		Moshe Rabbenu's motivation in asking to be permitted to live was not out of any desire to prevent Yehoshuwa' (Joshua) 'a"h, from taking over.

	MARRIAGE ON THE SABBATH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		According to Rabbenu Tam (one of the outstanding Tosaphists, a grandson of Rashi), however, the question in the Talmud is addressed to the substance of the matter.
		Rabbinic authorities of the stature of Rabbenu Tam are of the opinion that in a case where the male was not previously married and had no children, it is permitted to marry on the Sabbath, since he is performing a mitzwah.
		Though Rabbenu Tam qualifies his permissive attitude and states that we do not marry except in cases of great emergency, he nevertheless draws the halachic conclusion from the Talmudic discussion that in cases where the male has no children, it is permitted to marry on the Sabbath.

		From Moses until Rabbenu Hakadosh the traditional laws were thus learnt by heart and handed down from generation to generation orally.
		Rabbenu Hakadosh, however, realizing that because of growing hardships and persecutions the Jews might not be able to retain by memory all these traditional laws, decided to record them.
		Being both a great scholar and a man of considerable means, he gathered around him the greatest scholars of his time and recorded all the traditional laws and interpretations of the Torah that they had learnt from their teachers.

		It occurs in Parshat Vayeilekh, Sefer Devarim, chapter 31, verse 19, where Hashem tells Moshe Rabbenu: "And now, write this song for yourselves and teach it to the children of Israel, place it in their mouth, so that this song shall be a witness for Me against the children of Israel".
		It was also Moshe Rabbenu himself who introduced the practice to read the Torah publicly on a regular basis on Shabbat and Monday and Thursday during Shacharit (Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Hilkhot Tefillah, chapter 12, paragraph 1).
		The Vilna Gaon explains, that Hashem abolished the evil inclination for idol worship at that time at the request of the Anshei Knesset Hagedolah, Men of the Great Assembly (another term for the spiritual leaders of that time) and prophets were therefore not needed any more to fight idol worship.

		Moshe Rabbenu pleaded on their behalf with the stirring words: “And now, if You would please forgive their sins...And if not, erase my name from Your Book...” G-d forgave, but nevertheless, Moses’ self-proclaimed punishment came to be, and thus, his name is missing from this portion.

		His love for his flock was so all-consuming that he was prepared to lay down his very life for their sake.

		Beginning with Rabbenu Tam, a contemporary of Maimonides, almost all authorities agree that despite their belief in a Trinity Christians are monotheists.

		However, it should be noted that, according to Rashi, the oath is administered to Yosef's brothers, who are themselves obligated to administer it to their children, and so on.

		However, according to Rabbenu Bachya, IT'CHEM cannot be understood this way, since the initial oath was given to the nation: The nation is to bring my bones up from Egypt.

		Hence, Moshe Rabbenu, as it were, described himself as relating to Hashem from the comparatively lowly level of "Vayikar." He wanted to play down his own role and minimize the true importance that he held.
		There, Moshe Rabbenu is criticized for acting as if he is holier than his detractors and the implication is that his level his no higher than theirs.
		The Torah hints to the answer by saying he was most modest "mikol ha'adam." Moshe Rabbenu absorbed within himself the constant awareness of the presence of Hashem.

		But according to Rabbenu Tam our section (3) is placed after our (4) so that (3) which contains the Shema, is on the outside, namely, the extreme left of the one facing the wearer.
		Since the tefillin have to be written in the order in which the sections are in the Torah, then according to Rabbenu Tam, the scribe, when writing the hand tefillin, writes (3) first at the end of the script, leaving a space in which he then writes (4).
		Thus "Rashi's" tefillin are invalid according to Rabbenu Tam and "Rabbenu Tam's" invalid according to Rashi.
