רבה בר רב הונא Rabbah bar Rav Huna
Amora of Babylonia · 3rd generation (c. 290–320 CE) — named 213 times across 30 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbah bar Rav Huna, of the third Babylonian generation, was the son of Rav Huna of Sura and his student, and he headed the academy at Sura in his own generation. He is quoted as a transmitter some twenty-six times, most often his father's teachings and Rav's.
He is named some two hundred and ten times across thirty tractates, heaviest in Bava Metzia and Shabbat, and appears most often in argument with Rav Chisda. He was buried in Eretz Yisrael, and the Talmud's account of the journey that brought his bier there is one of its quieter passages about what the land meant to the sages of Babylonia.
Son of Rav Huna of Sura.
