Two of his grandsons Rebbenu Tam and Rashbam were among the most gifted of the tosafists ( those who added ) who took Rashi as their personal example of proper behavior and a good life. A modest man who sought neither power nor honors he never held an official title yet his authority was accepted with love and respect.
