רבי נהוראי Rabbi Nehorai
Tanna · 3rd generation (c. 110–135 CE) — named 24 times across 9 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Nehorai, of the third tannaitic generation, is the sage of whom the Talmud says outright that this was not his name: he was Rabbi Nechemya, or, others say, Rabbi Elazar ben Arach, and he was called Nehorai — light — because he lit up the eyes of the sages in halakhah.
He is named some twenty-four times across nine tractates, heaviest in Nazir, Rosh Hashana and Shabbat. To him belongs the counsel that a man should exile himself to a place of Torah and not say that it will come after him.
'Nehorai is not his name'.
