Rami b. Abba

Rami bar Abba II[1] (Hebrew: רמי בר אבא (השני)) was a Babylonian rabbi, of the sixth generation of amoraim.

For the 3d generation Amora sage also of Babylon, see Ammi b. Abba (Rammi b. Abba I).

Biography

Once Rami wanted to build a new synagogue, by taking bricks and beams from an old synagogue and use them for the new synagogue in a different location. In general halacha prohibits of dismantling a synagogue before one has built another to take its place, lest the new one not end up being built. Rami asked whether this was permitted in his case, since the materials of the old synagogue would be used for the new. He asked Rav Papa and then R. Huna b. Joshua (or according to another version, Rav Papi and then R. Huna b. Tahlifa) who both prohibited him from doing so.[2]

According to Sheiltot d’Rav Achai, Rami b. Abba was Rav Ashi's father-in-law,[3] and probably it is this Rami b. Abba (and not Rami b. Abba I).[4]

gollark: You can just drop the type hint and add a proper test.
gollark: Alternately:```pythondef f(l): if len(l) != 2: return # do stuff with l```
gollark: It should probably accept 2-tuples instead.
