רבי יוסי בר חנינא

Rabbi Yose bar Chanina is an oft-quoted amora whose teachings appear throughout the aggadic and halachic literature represented in our library. He is cited repeatedly in the Tanchuma-style midrashim on the Torah (on passages in Shemot, Beshalach, Ki Tisa, Chukat, and elsewhere) as well as in the Rabbah collections — Vayikra Rabbah, Devarim Rabbah, Esther Rabbah, Kohelet Rabbah, and Shir HaShirim Rabbah — and in later compilations such as Akeidat Yitzchak.
