Rabbi Juda Hanassi
See also: Juda
Rabbi Juda Hanassi , Juda Hanassi , or Juda the Prince , is one of the last Tannaïm of the Mishna, was one of the big bosses of the Jewish community of the Judaea under Roman domination at the 2nd century, and one of its larger leaders in general.
Descendant of Hillel, it is supposed of davidic ascent , from where its title of Prince (Nassi). It is generally called Rabbenou hakadosh (our main saint), or quite simply Rabbi .
It is at the origin of the compilation of the Mishna, estimating that the oral tradition was in so great danger which had to be faced the interdict to transcribe it. This one forms the first part of the corpus of what is known like the Oral Law ( Torah SheBe' Al EP ), on which the Guemara was worked out, the unit forming the Talmud from which the Halakha is drawn.
Biography
Historicity of Talmud
Life of Rabbi, as that of good number of doctors of Talmud is precisely known for us only by Talmud and the other old works of rabbinical Littérature.Mishna and Talmud abound indeed in accounts and anecdotes of which more some are not the least legendary and conversely. Moreover, the data are sometimes contradictory. For example, if the historicity of Hillel is not called into question, its origins are it: a treaty teaches us that Hillel is of davidic ascent, but another demented person this information, or at least specifies that it did not go down from the wire of David (what would not prevent it from being of davidic line by the women).
The credibility granted to these data is it also prone to controversy according to " the obédience" : for the orthodoxe Jews, all that comes from Talmud, even from the old midrashic works is entirely real and historical, including the visits of the prophet Elie of which some enjoy these Wise. For others, all is only epigones and allegories.
Certain modern historians think of being able to find a factual core (in the absence of being historical) in the large features of the life of Wise brushed by the later generations, and to confront it with a historical prospect.
Rabbi in the rabbinical literature
According to a testimony brought back so much as a Galileo (by Abba Ben Kahana, in Midrash Bereshit (Rabba 58) and Midrash Kohelet (Rabba 1: 10) that in Babylonia (Midrash Bereshit Rabba. 72b), Rabbi was born the very same day or Rabbi Akiva died in martyrdom. The place of its birth is unknown, like that where his/her father, Rabbi Shimon Ben Gamaliel II raised it, when he fled persecutions of the mode of Hadrian.When the order returned, Usha became the seat of the academy of study and its director: it is there that Juda Ben Shimon Hanassi passed his youth. One can suppose that his/her father gave him the education which it itself had received, and which it studied inter alia the Greek (Traité Sota 49b). Indeed, its knowledge of the Greek made a privileged interlocutor of the Roman authorities of it. He had a predilection for this language, and said that the Jews of Palestine not speaking Hebrew should speak Greek, but especially not --what a horror! -- the syriaque Araméen (which was the lingua franca of the time) (even source)
It would seem that in its house, the Hebrew was, than practiced, usually spoken more, even of the maidservants who often undertook to save their Master the work to translate concepts of Hebrew into araméen (Traités Meguila 18a; Rosh Hashana 26b; Nazir 3a; Erouvin 53a).
