− | '''Rabbi Yose ben Chalafta''' was a fourth generation Tana and one of the most mentioned Sages in the Mishna, where he simply referred to as Rabbi Yossi. A leading student of Rabbi Akiva, Rabbi Yosi was friends with [[Rabbi Yehuda bar Ilai|Rabbi Yehuda]], [[Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai|Rabbi Shimon]] and [[Rebbe Meir Baal Haness|Rabbi Meir]] | + | '''Rabbi Yose ben Chalafta''' was a fourth generation Tana and one of the most mentioned Sages in the Mishna, where he simply referred to as Rabbi Yossi. A leading student of Rabbi Akiva, Rabbi Yosi was friends with [[Rabbi Yehuda bar Ilai|Rabbi Yehuda]], [[Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai|Rabbi Shimon]] and [[Rebbe Meir Baal Haness|Rabbi Meir]]. [[Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi|Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi]] was one of his main students. After receiving Semicha from Rabbi Yehudah ben Bava, an offense carrying capital punishment by the Roman government, Rebbe Yossi ben Halafta fled to Asia, remaining there until the death of Hadrian. As a result of the same incident that sent Rabbi Shimon bar Yochi into hiding, Rabbi Yosi was exiled to his home town of Tziori for keeping silent and not praising the Romans. In Tziori Rabbi Yossi ben Chalafta served as the leader of the community and established a large Yeshiva. |

In his youth Rabbi Yossi ben Chalafta once had a Torah argument with Rabbi Elazer ben Shamua in a Tveria Beis Knesset. During the heat of their debate a Torah scroll became torn. [[Rabbi Yossi ben Kisma]] who witnessed the event, responded "I would be surprised if this Bet Knesset does not turn into a house of idolatry" and that is what happened. | In his youth Rabbi Yossi ben Chalafta once had a Torah argument with Rabbi Elazer ben Shamua in a Tveria Beis Knesset.

− | Rabbi Yosi ben Chalafta is buried in the Kfar Chananya area right after the turn from the Chalafta junction. He is buried a few feet from his father [[Abba Chalafta|Abba Chalafta]]. In the Tziyun of Rabbi Yosi there are two kevarim, Rabbi Yossi being the one on the right with the smaller cover. Originally the larger cover belonged to Rabbi Yossi but it was exchanged during the building of the initial Tziyun. On the left side of Rabbi Yossi is buried either a brother, son or student of unknown name. For years it was mistakenly assumed that this kever belonged [[Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta|Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta]], a younger brother or according to some opinions a grandson of Rabbi Yossi. This however is not true since according to the [[Rabbi Yitzchak Luria|Arizal]] he was buried in [[Safed|Tzefat]] in the vicinity of the [[Ancient Tzfat Cemetery|ancient cemetery]] | + | Rabbi Yosi ben Chalafta is buried in the Kfar Chananya area right after the turn from the Chalafta junction.
