זעירי Zeiri
Amora of Babylonia · 2nd generation (c. 250–290 CE) — named 119 times across 25 tractates of the Bavli.
Zeiri, of the second Babylonian generation, went up from Babylonia to Eretz Yisrael and learned there in the circle of Rabbi Chanina and Rabbi Yochanan, and so his reports carry western teachings into the Babylonian discussion. He is quoted in others' names eleven times and cited by others some seventeen.
He is named some hundred and twenty times across twenty-five tractates, spread thinly rather than concentrated. The Talmud tells that Rav Yehuda pressed him to marry his daughter, and that he declined, which is one of the few personal details the tradition preserves about him.
A Babylonian who went up to Eretz Yisrael.
