רבי ירמיה Rabbi Yirmiya
Amora of the Land of Israel · 4th generation (c. 320–350 CE) — named 356 times across 35 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Yirmiya was born in Babylonia and went up to Eretz Yisrael, where he learned from Rabbi Zeira and belongs to the fourth amoraic generation. He is known for pressing a rule to its edge until the edge shows — and for the day he pressed too far, asking about a fledgling found within the fifty cubits with one foot inside and one foot out, and was put out of the study house for it. He was later brought back.
The episode is remembered fondly rather than as a rebuke: his questions are exactly the ones that test whether a boundary is real. He is named some three hundred and fifty times, most often in Chullin and Zevachim, and appears constantly beside Rabbi Zeira and Rabbi Yochanan's rulings.
The Babylonian in Eretz Yisrael whose question got him expelled from the house of study.
