רבי יצחק Rabbi Yitzchak Nafcha
Amora of the Land of Israel · 3rd generation (c. 290–320 CE) — named 404 times across 36 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Yitzchak Nafcha — the smith — belongs to the third amoraic generation and taught in Tiberias. He is chiefly an aggadist: his name stands over expositions of verses, and the Talmud pictures him being asked at a meal whether he would give words of halakha or words of aggadah, and answering both.
He is named some four hundred times, weighted toward the tractates where aggadah gathers — Sanhedrin, Megillah, Berachot and Sotah — and he is quoted in others' names some twenty times and cited by others some twenty. More than one Amora bears the name רבי יצחק and the Bavli does not always distinguish them, so this entry is marked for review.
The smith; an aggadist of Tiberias.
