רבי אלעזר ברבי שמעון Rabbi Elazar berabbi Shimon
Tanna · 4th generation (c. 135–170 CE) — named 204 times across 27 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Elazar berabbi Shimon, of the fourth tannaitic generation, was the son of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and the boy who spent the thirteen years in the cave at his father's side. He is a colleague of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, and his rulings are cited especially in the sacrificial tractates — nearly a quarter of his mentions are in Zevachim.
The Talmud tells at length of his later years in the service of the Roman authorities, seizing thieves, and of the rebuke he received for it — vinegar, son of wine — and of his own suffering afterwards, which he is said to have accepted upon himself. It is one of the hardest and most human of the tannaitic narratives.
Son of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai; his father's companion in the cave.
