Amora of Babylonia · 6th generation×118 named in the Bavli28 tractates2 as a patronymic

Rav Acha son of Rava, of the sixth Babylonian generation, learned from Rav Ashi and belongs to his circle at Sura in the last years of the amoraic age; he is named beside Rav Ashi and Ravina more than beside anyone else.

He is cited some hundred and twenty times across twenty-eight tractates, heaviest in Chullin and Menachot. His role in a sugya is usually the closing one — to state the practical upshot of a dispute, or to report what was actually done, which is the characteristic contribution of his generation.

Of Rav Ashi's circle.
