רב רחומי Rav Rechumi
Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation (c. 320–350 CE) — named 6 times across 5 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Rechumi, of the fourth Babylonian generation, was a student of Rava, and the Talmud tells of him one of its most quoted stories about what learning costs a household: he would return home from the academy on the eve of Yom Kippur, and one year the sugya held him past the hour, his wife's tear fell, and the roof he was sitting on gave way beneath him.
He is named six times, most often in Eruvin, and in Chullin, Ketubot, Pesachim and Zevachim besides. The story is told in Ketubot, in the passage on what is owed to the wife of a man who is away at his studies.
The story of whose roof is told in Ketubot.
