Judah ben Ezekiel

Babylonian jewish scholar

220 CE to 299 CE

Judah ben Ezekiel (220–299) ( also known as Rav Yehuda), is a Babylonian amora of the 2nd generation.

He is the most prominent disciple of Rav (Abba Arika), in whose house he often stays, and whose son Hiyya is his pupil.

After Rav's death, Judah goes to Samuel of Nehardea, who esteems him highly and calls him "Shinena" (= "sharpwitted") or he with the long teeth (R' Hai Gaon in a responsa).

He remains with Samuel until he founds a school of his own at Pumbedita.

He dies there in 299.
