RABA BEN JOSEPH BEN HAMA (c. 280-352)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 765 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RABA BEN JOSEPH BEN HAMA (c. 280-352) , Babylonian
rabbi
  or amora. He is closely associated in his studies with Abaye. The latter was head of the
Academy
  at Pumbeditha. Raba founded a new school at Mahuza, which eventually be-came so
long
  as Raba lived the only
academy
  in Babylonia (Persia). The development of Talmudic Law (or Halakhah) was much indebted to this
rabbi
 , whose
influence
  in all branches of Jewish learning was supreme. His friendship with the
King
  Shapur II. enabled Raba to secure a relaxation of the oppressive
laws
  enacted against the
Jews
  of Persia.
See Graetz,
History
  of the
Jews
 ; (Eng. trans., vol. ii. ch. xxi.); Bacher, Agada der Babyl. Amoraer, p. io8, &c. and 114-133. (I. A.)
