רבי יהודה בן לקיש Rabbi Yehuda ben Lakish
Tanna · 3rd generation (c. 110–135 CE) — named 5 times across 3 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Yehuda ben Lakish, of the third tannaitic generation, was a colleague of Rabbi Meir and belongs to the sages of Usha. He is named five times — three in Yoma, and once each in Chagigah and Shabbat.
His name stands close to that of Reish Lakish, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, who is a different man of a later era and has his own entry here. Beyond his generation and those citations, the reference tradition holds little about him that can be stated firmly.
A colleague of Rabbi Meir.
