During the Great Revolt and the subsequent destruction of the Temple, Rabbi Azaria moved his family away from Central Israel up to the Galilee. His son [[Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah|Rabbi Elazar]] later became Nasi when Rabbi Gamliel was temporarily removed from his position. Rabbi Azariah had a brother Shimon whom he supported, enabling him to devote all his time to Torah study. In recognition of this arrangement, this Tana referred to in the Mishna as Rabbi Shimon brother of Azarya. Very knowledgeable in Torah, Rabbi Azarya was called a 'friend' by [[Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas|Rabbi Dosa ben Hurkenes]], one of the generation's elders. |

Although the location of his Kever was described in the diaries of early pilgrims to [[Kivrei Tzadikim]] as being in the close proximity of his son's, in recent times it remained unmarked. Yisroel Meir Gabbi and his organization Ohali Tzadikim in their effort to remark all the 'lost' kevarim, went ahead and created a mound of blue painted stones, marking that as the Tzion. This move caused Kadmonanu to build a Tzion a few meters away, in 2012. The person who built the Tzion claimed that to have uncovered some sort of tomb in the location, as he was creating the foundation. |

Rabbi Moshe ben Yosef di Trani also known as the Mabit was a student of Rabbi Yakov Beirav. He served as head of the Safed bais din alongside Rabbi Yosef Karo during the city's 'golden era', until he moved to Yerushalaim.

Rabbi Moshe di Trani was born in 1500. At age 18 he moved to Tzfat and studied under Rabbi Yakov Beirav. In 1525 he was appointed as a judge in the local Beis Din, a position he held for 54 years. During this period he replied to many Halachic responsa from all over the world. After the passing of Rabbi Yosef Karo, the Mabit served as the sole head of the Tzfat Beit Din for five years. He passed away in 1580.
[edit] Kever HaMabit
Rabbi Moshe ben Yosef di Tranii is buried in the ancient Tzfat cemetery right near the Holy Ari, Ramak, Rabbi Elazar Azkari and Rabbi Shlomo Alkebetz.
[edit] Hillulah of the Mabit
The yortzite of Rabbi Moshe ben Yosef di Trani falls out on the 23rd (Chuf Gimmel) Nisson. Those that are aware of the Hillulah try to visit the Kever Hamabit in the Tzfat cemetery.
