Amora of the Land of Israel · 3rd generation×300 named in the Bavli34 tractates2 as a patronymic

Rabbi Ami, of the third amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael, was a student of Rabbi Yochanan and, after him, one of the leading judges and teachers of Tiberias. He is almost never mentioned alone: Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Assi are a pair, sitting together in judgment and cited together in halakha, and the Talmud calls them the distinguished priests of Eretz Yisrael.

He is quoted in others' names some twenty times and cited by others some ten. His three hundred mentions run across thirty-four tractates, heaviest in Chullin and Berachot.

Of the judges of Eretz Yisrael, always paired with Rabbi Assi.
