Judah bar Ezekiel (220–299 CE) (
Hebrew:
יהודה בן יחזקאל; also known as
Rav Yehuda bar Ezekiel), was a
Babylonian amora of the 2nd generation. He was the most prominent disciple of Rav (
Abba Arika), in whose house he often stayed, and whose son
Hiyya was his pupil (
Er. 2b). After Rav's death Judah went to
Samuel of Nehardea, who esteemed him highly and called him "Shinena" (= "sharpwitted";
Ber. 36a;
Kid. 32a) or he with the long teeth (R' Hai Gaon in a responsa). He remained with Samuel until he founded a school of his own at Pumbedita. He died there in 299.
