The author of one of the classic commentaries on the Mishnah, the “Tosafos Yom Tov,” Rabbi Yom Tov Lippmann Heller, was a “yasom,” an orphan from his father, from birth in the City of Wallerstein in the German Province of Bavaria. As a young man, he studied under both Rabbi Yehudah Loewe (the “Maharal”) and Rabbi Ephraim Luntchitz (the “Kli Yakar”), of Prague. The most famous of his writings was a commentary on all of the Mishnah, in which he incorporated his vast knowledge of the Talmud to clarify the meaning of the more concise Mishnah. This commentary is called “Tosafos Yom Tov,” after his name, with the incorporation of “Tosafos,” because he viewed the role of his commentary to the Mishnah as analogous to the role of the “Ba’alei HaTosafos” in relation to Rashi and the Talmud.
