Kahana bar Tahlifa
Rabbinical eras |
---|
Rav Kahana bar Taḥlifa (כהנא בר תחליפא) was a
of the third century CE.He is mentioned only twice in the
8b he quotes a teaching of R. Kahana b. Minyomi, who seems to have been his teacher.Kahana b. Tahlifa apparently emigrated to Palestine, perhaps in company with Rabbi Zeira; for Yerushalmi Avodah Zarah 2:9 mentions him together with Zeira and with Hanan b. Bo. This is not certain, however; for the passage reads: "R. Zeira, Kahana b. Taḥlifa, and Hanan b. Bo," which may be rendered also "R. Zeira Kahana" ("the priest"), since Zera was a priest.[1] On this assumption, Bar Taḥlifa can not be identical with Kahana b. Taḥlifa.
