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, Rabbi Shimon and Rabbi Meir. 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 served as the leader of the community and established a large Yeshiva.
Kever Rabbi Yose ben Chalafta
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. 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 right side of Rabbi Yossi is buried either a brother, son or student of unknown name. For years it was mistakenly assumed that kever belonged Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta, a younger brother or according to some opinions a grandson of Rabbi Yossi. This however is not true since the Arizal said he was buried in Tzefat in the vicinity of the ancient cemetery.

A Hillulah was created for Abba Chalafta and his son Rabbi Yossi on the 15th of Tammuz.
