Abstract:
Yehudah ha-nasi’ or Judah the Prince is one of the most prominent figures in rabbinic Judaism. He is named in numerous rabbinic writings where he assumes the title of Patriarch and multiple functions. The scientific-historical approach to this figure faces many memorial and rhetorical barriers throughout the Middle Ages. Therefore, the nature of the relationship between Yehudah ha-nasi’ and the synagogues remains difficult to qualify. Yet an examination of some rabbinic passages suggests a complex relationship. Yehudah ha-nasi’ seems to know the synagogues but he does not take part in them. The renewed knowledge of the historical and archaeological context of Galilee allows for clarification.
