הרב אבימי בריה דרבי אבהו

Avimi son of Rabbi Abbahu was an amora, known as the son of the sage Rabbi Abbahu. He appears in the Gemara teaching baraitot on a range of subjects. In Sanhedrin he brings a teaching on the duration of the days of Mashiach for Israel, drawing on a verse from Yeshayahu.

In Kiddushin he teaches a striking lesson about honoring one’s parents: a person may feed his father pheasant and yet be punished for it, while another may set his father to grinding at the mill and merit reward thereby — the measure being the manner and spirit in which the mitzvah is fulfilled. He is also mentioned in Ketubot in connection with a matter of money owed and the repayment of a loan through an agent, raising the question of an outstanding document.
