Rishonim

The Rishonim ( Hebrew : "First") are, literally, the decision on Jewish law , whose opinions were issued after the decline of the Talmudic academies of Babylonia (c. 1038 ) and before writing the ( c. 1565 ), this interval is called the period of the Rishonim in traditional Jewish historiography.
The term is also applied to Jewish rabbis and the great figures of that period.

The term appears in the time of Rishonim Sages of Israel , referring to the former, especially in the blessing Al Harishonim or authorities who were before him who cites ^{Status of Rishonim}

The distinction between Rishonim and Geonim done more in history and in terms of halakha (Jewish law). However, according to conventional wisdom in orthodox Judaism , the Aharonim (makers and rabbinical authorities who wrote after writing the Shulchan Aruch) may challenge the views of their predecessors at least be based on that of a Rishon other.

This principle has exceptions, individually (the disciples of the Vilna Gaon , Lithuanian rabbi of the ^eighteenth century , tend to think that his opinions have the same value as that of Rishonim) and General ( Moshe Feinstein , the most High halakhic authority of the ^twentieth century the United States, said that the milk obtained by a non-Jew is permitted for consumption in the United States, because the reason given by the Talmud and the Rishonim, that the nice mix different kinds of milk, is spent in the U.S. ).

Some noted that this view is not formally part of the Halacha itself, and it violates the principle of Hilkheta Vatra'ei-Ke ("The law follows the latter," that is to say recent decision), enacted in the era of Geonim . Conservative Jews (conservative) and progressives do not follow it.
