רבי פנחס בן יאיר

Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair
Tannaim · c. 10-220 CE

רבי פינחס בן יאיר היה תנא בן הדור החמישי לתנאים.

Pinchas ben Yair was a Tanna of the 4th generation who lived, probably at Lod, in the late 2nd century. He was the father-in-law of Shimon bar Yochai and a fellow disciple of Judah haNasi. He was more celebrated for piety than for learning, although his discussions with his son-in-law demonstrate great sagacity and a profound knowledge of tradition.
