:''For the Tanna sage of the 5th generation, see Huna Kamma.'' :''For the Amora sage of the 3d generation, see Raba bar Rav Huna.'' :''For the Amora sage of the 5th generation, see Huna b. Joshua.'' :''For the Amora sage of the 6th generation, see Huna b. Nathan.'' Rav Huna (Hebrew: רב הונא), was a Jewish Talmudist who lived in Babylonia, known as an amora of the second generation and head of the Academy of Sura; He was born about 216,〔(212 according to Gratz)〕 died in 296-297 (608 of the Seleucidan era)).〔Sherira Gaon, in Neubauer, "M. J. C." i. 30 or in 290 according to Abraham ibn Daud ("Sefer ha-Kabbalah," in Neubauer, l.c. p. 58)〕 ==Youth== He lived in a town,〔(Ta'an. 21b)〕 identified by Wiesener〔("Scholien zum Babylonischen Talmud," ii. 193)〕 with Tekrit.〔but read by Grätz (= "Diokart")〕 He was the principal pupil of Rav, under whom he acquired so much learning that one of Rava's three wishes was to possess Rav Huna's wisdom.〔(M. K. 28a)〕 He was also styled "one of the Babylonian Hasidim," on account of his great piety.〔(Ta'an. 23b)〕 The esteem in which he was held was so great that, though not of a priestly family, he read from the Torah on Shabbat and holy days the first passage, which is usually read by a Kohen (priest). Rav Ammi and Rav Assi, honored Israeli Kohanim, considered Huna as their superior.〔(Meg. 22a; Git. 59b)〕 Although Rav Huna was related to the family of the exilarch〔(Sherira Gaon, l.c.)〕 he was so poor at the beginning of his career that in order to buy wine to consecrate the Shabbat he had to pawn his girdle.〔(Meg. 27b)〕 But Rav blessed him with riches, and Rav Huna displayed great wealth at the wedding of his son Raba bar Rav Huna.〔(ib.)〕 He owned numerous flocks of sheep, which were under the special care of his wife, ''Hobah'',〔(B. K. 80a)〕 and he traveled in a gilded litter.〔(Ta'an. 20b)〕 Rav Huna was very generous. When the houses of the poor people were thrown down by storms he rebuilt them; at meal-times the doors of his house would be left open, while his servants would call out: "He who is hungry, let him come and eat".〔(ib.)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rav Huna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
