Rabbi Yona, of the fourth amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael, taught at Tiberias and is regularly paired with Rabbi Yose — the two are among the leading voices of the Eretz-Yisrael academies in their day.

He is cited some fifty times, with the heaviest weight by far in Shekalim, whose Gemara in our printed Shas is the Yerushalmi's rather than the Bavli's; that is why he and the sages of his circle appear there and only thinly elsewhere. For a learner, his name is a marker that the passage in hand belongs to the Eretz-Yisrael tradition.

Of Tiberias, paired with Rabbi Yose.
