- Rivam
The Rivam (c. 1090 – c. 1130),
Rabbi Yitzchak ben Meir, was one of the Baalei Tosafos. He was the grandson ofRashi , and brother of theRashbam and theRabbeinu Tam . His father wasMeir ben Shmuel and his mother was Yocheved, the daughter of Rashi. He died before his father, leaving four children (Jacob Tam, "Sefer ha-Yashar," No. 616, p. 72b, Vienna, 1811). Although he died young, the Rivam contributed to Tosafos, mentioned byEliezer b. Joel ha-Levi ("Abi ha-'Ezri," §417), to several tractates of theTalmud . Isaac himself is often quoted in the edited Tosafos (Shab. 138a; Ket. 29b et passim).Further reading
