No references found | DORFF & ARTHUR ROSETT, A LIVING TREE: THE ROOTS AND GROWTH OF JEWISH LAW 223 (1988) (describing an encounter between Rabbi Joshua and the other rabbis of the Sanhedrin in which Rabbi Joshua's position on a particular issue was defeated without argument simply because it was inconsistent with the position of Rabban Gamliel, who had recently passed away). Rabban Gamliel then requires a person to talk about the three main seder foods, the pesah, matzah, and maror. He was a disciple of Rabbi Meir, a contemporary of Rabban Gamliel II, and was chosen to be the tutor of the young Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi, the redactor of the Mishna, and one of the intellectual leaders of the era. |
