During the Second Crusade, on the second day of the holiday of Shavuot , the Crusaders entered his hometown of Ramerupt, and pillaged and massacred many Jews. They broke into Rabbenu Tam's house, plundered all his wealth, and seriously wounded Rabbenu Tam. On the next day, the 8th of Sivan, Rabbenu Tam escaped Rameru and the clutches of the Crusaders. Two years later he completed his famous treatise on Jewish ritual and ethics, Sefer Hayashar .
