Rishonim ( _he. ראשונים; sing. ראשון, "Rishon") "the former ones," were the leading Rabbis and "Poskim" who lived approximately during the 11th to 15th centuries, in the era before the writing of the "Shulkhan Arukh" and following the "Geonim". Rabbinic scholars subsequent to the "Shulkhan Arukh" are known as " "Acharonim" — the latter ones".

The distinction between "Rishonim" and "Geonim" is meaningful historically; in "Halakha" (Jewish Law) the distinction is less important. According to a widely held view in Orthodox Judaism, Acharonim generally cannot dispute the rulings of rabbis of previous eras unless they find support of other rabbis in previous eras. On the other hand, this view is not formally a part of halakhah itself, and according to some rabbis is a violation of the halakhic system. In the "The Principles of Jewish Law" Orthodox rabbi Menachem Elon writes that such a view:

:inherently violates the precept of Hilkheta Ke-Vatra'ei, that is, the law is according to the later scholars. This rule dates from the Geonic period. It laid down that until the time of Rabbis Abbaye and Rava (4th century) the Halakha was to be decided according to the views of the earlier scholars, but from that time onward, the halakhic opinions of post-talmudic scholars would prevail over the contrary opinions of a previous generation. See Piskei Ha'Rosh, Bava Metzia 3:10, 4:21, Shabbat 23:1
