רבי חנינא Rabbi Chanina bar Chama
Amora of the Land of Israel · 1st generation (c. 220–250 CE) — named 413 times across 33 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Chanina bar Chama learned before Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi and headed the school at Tzippori in the first amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael. He was a physician as well as a sage, and bare רבי חנינא in the Bavli is generally read as him.
Two of his sayings are among the most quoted in the whole Talmud: that everything is in the hands of Heaven except the fear of Heaven, and that a man does not bruise his finger below unless it has been decreed above. He is cited by other sages some forty times and named some four hundred, most often beside Rabbi Yochanan, who cites him constantly.
Head of the school at Sepphoris; bare רבי חנינא in the Bavli is he.
