Works
Ridvaz's most notable works were two commentaries on the Talmud Yerushalmi:
- Chiddushei Ridvaz, modelled on Rashi's commentaries to the Talmud Bavli, explained the literal meaning of the text;
- Tosfoth haRid (Piotrków, 1899–1900), modeled on the Tosafot. It compared and contrasted the significance of the text in question with other Talmudic and Halachic texts.
Ridvaz's other works include:
- Migdal Oz (1874)
- Migdal David (1874), novellae on both Talmuds;
- Chana David (1876), commentary on Tractate Challah;
- Teshuvoth haRidvaz (1881), responsa;
- Nimmuké Ridvaz (1904), commentary on the Torah;
- Beth Ridvaz, explanation of Rabbi Yisrael of Shklov's work Pe'ath Hashulchan.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“Only the more uncompromising of the mystics still seek for knowledge in a silent land of absolute intuition, where the intellect finally lays down its conceptual tools, and rests from its pragmatic labors, while its works do not follow it, but are simply forgotten, and are as if they never had been.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
“I cannot spare water or wine, Tobacco-leaf, or poppy, or rose;
From the earth-poles to the line, All between that works or grows,
Every thing is kin of mine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
