abstract
| - Joheved, Miriam, and Rachel (Hebrew: יוכבד, מרים, רחל) (11th-12th century) were daughters of the great medieval Talmudic scholar, Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, better known by the acronym, Rashi, who had no sons. These women married three of their father’s finest students and were the mothers of the leaders of the next generation of French Talmudic scholars. Many of their descendants were known as Baalei Tosafos (Tosafists) who wrote critical and explanatory glosses on the Talmud. In all printed versions of the Talmud, the commentary of Rashi appears on the inside column (next to the binding) and that of the Tosafists on the outside column. Joheved and Miriam were born in Troyes, France (capital of the province of Champagne) between the years 1058 and 1062. It is not known which is the eldest. Rachel was probably born in Troyes around 1070. Some believe there was a fourth daughter who died young.
