רבי טרפון Rabbi Tarfon
Tanna · 2nd generation (c. 80–110 CE) — named 224 times across 29 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Tarfon, of the second tannaitic generation, was a priest who had served in the Temple before the destruction, and afterwards a teacher at Lod. He was wealthy and open-handed, and Rabbi Akiva, whom he called his teacher on occasion though they were colleagues, is his most frequent disputant.
He is the author of the line every learner meets early — the day is short, the work is much, the workers are lazy, the reward is great and the Master of the house presses — and of the statement that had he sat on the Sanhedrin no man would ever have been put to death. He is named some two hundred and twenty times, heaviest in Bava Kamma, where his disputes with Rabbi Akiva over damages set the terms of the tractate.
Of Lod; 'the day is short and the work is much'.
