| + | Once two witnesses testified before Raban Gamliel claiming they had spotted the new moon for the month of Teshrai. Although the next night it was nowhere to be seen, he accepted their "for how can one testify that a woman gave birth, yet the next day she was seen still pregnant". When [[Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya|Rabbi Yehoshua]] agreed with Rabbi Dosa, Rabban Gamliel felt the still fragile 'post Temple destruction' leadership was at risk of splintering. He decreed upon Rabbi Yehshua to come before him on Yom Kippor, as it came out according to his calculations and desecrate it by carrying his money and walking stick. | ||
| − | + | Rabbi Yehshua came to Rabbi Dosa who advised him to listen to Rabban Gamliel bringing proof from the members of [[Moshe Rabbenu|Moshe's]] Beit Din, whose names are not mentioned in the Torah. This comes to teach us that the Beis Din of each generation is equivalent to Moshe's. Meaning, had it mentioned the members names, one could argue that any later judges were of lesser stature, however since they remain unidentified, it can be argued that they are equivalent. Therefore if one debates the rulings of Rabban Gamliel's Beit Din, one should debate the rulings of each Bais Din that stood since the days of Moshe. Rabbi Yehushua accepted his advice and subdued himself in front of Rabban Gamliel. | |

| Description: | |
| A 5th generation Tana and leader of the Ḳehala Ḳaddisha of Yerushalaim group. |
Rabbi Shimon ben Menasya was a fifth generation Tana, a student of Rabbi Meir and an acquaintance of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. After the demise of Hadrien and the nulification of his decrees, Rebbe Shimon ben Minasya helped re-establish the Jewish community in Yerushalaim. Together with Rabbi Yossi ben Meshulam he created a group known as the 'Holy Congregation' (In Hebrew: Kehila Kadish, Khal Kadosh, Edah Hakedosha). Members of this society would devote a third of their day to prayer, a third to Torah study and would dedicate the remaining third to earn their livelihood. In other years they would study the entire winter and work during the summer. Teachings from the Kehila Kadish society as well as individual teachings from Rabbi Shimon ben Menasya himself, are mentioned in a few places throughout the Talmud.

[edit] Kever Rabbi Shimon ben Menasya
According to Rabbi Chaim Vital in the name of the Arizal, Rabbi Shimon ben Menasya is buried by a stone quarry in the area now called the Baal Shem Tov Forest bellow Ein Zettim. Kadmonenue built a Tzion in-between Kever Rabbi Yossi of Pekien and the now rediscovered kever of Rav Yeva Saba DeMishpatim, marking it as the estimated location of the kever. In recent years Yisroel Meir Gabbai and Ohali Tzadikim marked a different location further down in the direction of Safed, claiming that according to their calculations this was the spot being described by Rabbi Chaim Vital.
[edit] Teachings
- After rejecting the Rulership of Hashem, the rulership of the House of Dovid and the Beis Hamikdash during the generation of Rechavam, the Jews will not be shown a good sign until they re-accept these 3 things.[1]
