Amora of Babylonia · 3rd generation×82 named in the Bavli26 tractates

Rav Amram, of the third Babylonian generation, taught at Nehardea and learned from Rav Sheshet; he is known in the tradition as Rav Amram the Pious. He is quoted in others' names some seventeen times and cited by others some nine.

The passage that carries his name is the one in which he mastered himself in a moment of temptation and called out so that the household would come and see him — teaching, when they asked why he had shamed himself, that it was better to be shamed in this world than in the next. He is named some eighty times, spread across twenty-six tractates.

The pious one of Nehardea.
