Known as Rabba without an H and not his name[edit]

Rabba's name was written in Aramaic with an Alef at the end, usually listed in English as the later A, and meaning The.

Rab or Rav - means master (slave owner) and Rabba in Arameic means The Master.

His assumed name is not known, as opposed to Rava - meaning The Much (pertaining to knowledge), who is called several times in the Talmud "Moshe" (the biblical name Moses, in Hebrew) but the commentators and in Particular "RaShI" in the 10th century were taught that 'Moshe' was only a nickname, showing how learned he was.פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 10:11, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

His death is listed under antisemitism timeline[edit]

Please help me with sources for this. Or was it only tax evasion of his Jewish community?

Not that tax evasion was not dangerous. I just read that as recent as 1893 (that's almost the turn of the 20'th century) the Turks under the Ottoman empire hung three of the Arab chiefs of the town Artuf (in present-day Israel) leading to them selling half of their land to a Spanish Jew, ending up in the hands of the British Christian Anglican Mission who settled Jews there in order to convert them. Later to become the Jewish village of Har-Tuv, and the Goldberg Farm, deserted after attacked and ruined by the Arabs in 1929. (Their lives were spared after receiving warnings by friendly Arabs living alongside them in the original town.)פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 10:21, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
