| + | |
| − | Following the failed Bar Kochva rebellion and resulting Roman prosecutions, Rabbi Mattia ben Charash along with Rabbi Yonatan, Rabbi Yehuda ben Betara and Chanaya decided to leave Eretz Yisroel and settle in exile since it became hard to keep the Torah under these circumstances. When they reached Paltom they remembered Eretz Yisroel and began weeping and tearing their garments. Based on their interpittion of a Torah verse they decided that remaining in Eretz Yisroel was more important then the observance of all the Mitzvot. They turned back, although at a later point three of the four did end up moving to Diaspora.
