Revision as of 13:33, 11 October 2018

General

  1. The Rashba was a student of the Ramban and Rebbeinu Yonah, and he was the primary opponent of the Ra'ah.m His students include Rabbeinu Bechaye ben Asher and the Ritva[1]
  2. The Rashba had editions of Tosafot other than the one printed on the page of our Gemaras.[2]
  3. The Baalei HaTosafot and Rashba share a similar approach, therefore, if the Rashba copies Tosafot, it's a sign of agreement.[3]
  4. Maharashdam relates often how his rebbe, Maharitatz would weigh the Rashba's position on a matter equal to the majority of Poskim.[4] Similar statements are made by Rav Yosef Karo and the Radbaz.[5]
  5. The Kenesset HaGedolah recommends following the Tashbetz over the Rashba, as he came later.[6] On the other hand, the Beit David[7] advises following the Tashbetz over the Terumat HaDeshen, even though the latter was later and deserves much honor, because the Tashbetz was simply much greater.[8]

Torat HaBayit and Mishmeret HaBayit

  1. The Torat HaBayit comes in two parts, "Aroch" and "Katzar."
  2. The Mishmeret HaBayit was written by the Rashba,[9] but it wasn't in print at the times of the Beit Yosef, Rama, and Maharshal for them to see it.[10]

Avodat HaKodesh

  1. In Avodat HaKodesh, the Rashba's Sefer on Shabbat, Yom Tov, and Eruvin, he writes "יראה לי" when referring to Halachot from the Yerushalmi, Tosefta, and anything else not mentioned in Talmud Bavli.[11]
  2. Like the Torat HaBayit, the Avodat HaKodesh also has an "Aroch" and "Katzar," but the "Aroch" is no longer extant. Thus, out Avodat HaKodesh is only the "Katzar."[12] However, some modern editions include a collection of quotations from the "Aroch" from Rishonim who did have it.
  3. Some Rishonim refer to Avodat HaKodesh as "Torat HaBayit" informally.[13]

Shu"T HaRashba

  1. The Rashba wrote thousands of Teshuvot.
  2. The extant Shu"t HaRasha are a condensed version of the original.[14]
  3. Due to the fact that the Shu"t HaRashba printed in the times of the Beit Yosef was mistakenly attributed to the Ramban, the Beit Yosef refers to it as Shu"t HaRamban, even though he knew it was really the Rashba's. This way, one who seeks to look up the source will know which Sefer to open.[15]

Misc.

  1. The Rashba also wrote a commentary on the Aggadot of Shas.[16]
  2. He also had a hand in Kabbalah.[17]
