הרב רמי בר תמרי

Rami bar Tamri

Rami bar Tamri, Amora known from the sugya in Chullin about eating the udder (kachal) and its kashrut.

Biography

Rami bar Tamri was an amora, also called Rami bar Dikuli, who came from Pumbedita. He appears in a memorable episode in tractate Chullin (110a), where the contrast is drawn between the custom in Sura, where the udder (kachal) was not eaten, and Pumbedita, where it was. When he visited Sura on the eve of Yom Kippur, the people there discarded their udders, and he gathered them up and ate them — prompting a discussion of the laws governing this food.

He is also referenced in the halachic literature concerning the eve of Yom Kippur, in the context of the discussion in Orach Chaim (605) on the customs surrounding that day.
