	Peering Through the Lattices - Mystical, Magical, and Pietistic Dimensions in the Tosafist Period - Ephraim Kanarfogel
		During the high Middle Ages, the tosafists flourished in northern Europe and revolutionized the study of the Talmud.
		Ephraim Kanarfogel now challenges this conventional view of the tosafists, showing that many individuals were influenced by ascetic and pietistic practices and were involved with mystical and magical doctrines.
		The identification of these various forms of spirituality places the tosafists among those medieval rabbinic thinkers who sought to supplement their Talmudism with other areas of knowledge such as philosophy and kabbalah, demonstrating the compatibility of rabbinic culture and mysticism.

		As we saw earlier, the Tosafists took it as a given that it is no longer mandatory to light outdoors and the lighting is done indoors.
		The Tosafists, contradistinctively, hold that when the Rabbis pass legislation, it is with the understanding that that law remains in force in its original formulation only so long as that formulation still speaks to the goals of the law in question.
		Whereas the Tosafists maintain that we light Nerot to publicize the miracle of the cruse of oil (a commemorative model unmatched in Halakhah), Rambam says that the ordinance of Nerot Hanukkah follows the standard Halakhic model for commemoration.

	Naso - Jacob Spiegel
		According to the Tosafists, since the manifestation is reduced, one might have been permitted to look at the priests, nevertheless one is forbidden to do so for fear that it cause the person who looks at them to take his mind off the priestly blessing.
		Magen Avraham (Orah Hayyim 128.22) notes that in the opinion of the Tosafists a fleeting glance at the priests is permitted, since that does not entail distraction; in Rashi's opinion, however, even such a momentary glance would be forbidden because of the glory of the Divine Presence.
		Both Rashi and the Tosafists admit that during the priestly blessing there is always some manifestation of the Divine Presence.

	Rashi900.com - Rashi and the Tosafot
		The tosafists, as the approximately 300 scholars who compiled this literature have come to be called, are generally considered to have originated in 12th-century northern France.
		The early tosafists both elaborated upon and continued the development of their teacher's line-by-line commentary on the Talmudic text (kunteres).
		This tosafist method quickly became a dominant force that shaped the method of learning the Torah for centuries, first in Germany and France, and later moving to Spain as well.

		Rashi adds that an unspecified halva'ah is given for a period of thirty days; whilst a lending, sh'elah, must be returned whenever the lender demands its return.
		The Tosafists, however, query Rashi's interpretation, for it is taught, "A borrowed [she'ulah] cloak all thirty days it is exempt from tzitzit" (Men.
		Based on this, the Tosafists interpret the Gemara in a different way: In most cases, the term sh'elah is used where the original item will be returned, and therefore we do not anticipate that he will record it in his ledger on Shabbat.

		The Tosafists are so named for their commentary, "Tosafot," which translates as "additions" or "supplements." This probably means that their authors and editors saw their work as supplements to Rashi's basic commentary.
		Some have seen the Tosafot as an addition to the Talmud itself.
		Some of the other Tosafot compendia have been published as separate works.

	Forum : In English / Magic in the Rabbinic Culture of Medieval Ashkenaz - Kabbale En Ligne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The relative inability of modern scholarship to detect the presence of magic in Tosafist circles may be better understood by considering several of the approaches taken by Joshua Trachtenberg in his pioneering work, Jewish Magic and Superstition: a Study in Folk Religion (New York, 1939).
		He was not familiar with many manuscript passages involving both twelfth and thirteenth-century Tosafists, as well as German Pietists, that have an important bearing on the topics in which he was interested.
		Since the German Pietists recorded and were involved with many aspects of magic, and since their mystical teachings were (in Trachtenberg’s view) markedly less sophisticated than those of their Spanish and Provencal counterparts, Trachtenberg was inclined to study this magic from the popular level up rather than from the mystical level down.

	Yeshiva.org.il - Stipulations Upon the Words of Torah
		The Tosafists explain that because a person knows that it is impossible to fly up to the sky he could not have been sincere in his intentions.
		We have mentioned the question of the Tosafists: Why is it that when a person betroths a woman on the condition that she not hold him responsible for her food, clothing, and conjugal rights, the betrothal takes effect.
		After all, for a stipulation to be valid it must be a double stipulation, and if so, we must assume that the person stipulating explicitly stated that he is not interested in betrothal unless the woman agrees to forgo her food, clothing, and conjugal rights.

		The gemara there relates to one who vows by saying "I will give." It says that when one makes such a vow to give tzedaka it is not binding, because the Torah commands us to give tzedaka and vows are not binding in areas where halakhot already apply.
		The Rashba quotes some of the Tosafists who say that only a vow to give when a poor man requests is not binding.
		One only transgresses the prohibition, according to these Tosafists, when the poor person solicits HIM and he does not respond, not when he just sees him.
