As best I can track this Rabbi Judah is Rabbi Judah ben Ezekiel, a Babylonian amora of the 2nd generation who built up the school at Pumbedita and introduced a dialectical appproach to the text. Our Raba (resh-bet-alef) seems to be Raba ben Joseph beh Hama, a Babylonian amora of the 4th generation who, along with Abaye, continued the methods of Rabbi Judah.<br /> <br />I draw my spellings from some of the English translations I consult -- so they are not always consistent. Biographies of the sages are available in the Jewish Encyclopedia which is available for free on the web. <br /><br />All the best to you, and thanks for keeping us on track.Rabbi Louis Rieserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807165760680346307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986340284482198017.post-8716943103175987632009-08-23T13:46:50.485-07:002009-08-23T13:46:50.485-07:00Rabbi; This is wonderful! Thanks for posting these...Rabbi; This is wonderful! Thanks for posting these teachings~~<br />I would like to ask you about the sages that the talmud reffers to here, or perhaps to point out something important;<br /><br />Rabba is an amorah from Babeloniya and the name is spelled Reish, Beit, Hey.<br /><br />Rava (partner of Abayei) is of a later generation of Babeloniyan Amorahs, and his name is spelled Reish, Beit Aleph.<br /> <br />I think that Rosh Hashanah 28a brings Rava, not Rabba. What do you think?Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00152813545811696115noreply@blogger.com
