רב אושעיא Rav Oshaya
Amora of Babylonia · 3rd generation (c. 290–320 CE) — named 122 times across 31 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Oshaya, of the third Babylonian generation, is cited some hundred and twenty times across thirty-one tractates, most heavily in Chullin.
Little is firmly established about him beyond his generation and his setting: he is named in the company of Rava, Rabbah and the Sura and Pumbedita circles of his day. The name is also borne by sages of Eretz Yisrael, among them Rabbi Hoshaya Rabbah, and the Bavli's Babylonian form is not always cleanly separated from theirs, so this entry is marked for review.
A Babylonian of the name.
