Hanan the Egyptian explained
Hanan the Egyptian (Hebrew: {{Script/Hebrew|חנן המצרי, translit: Hanan ha-Mitzri) was a rabbi of the 2nd century (third generation of tannaim) who first lived at Alexandria.[1] He later moved to Judaea and was active among the scholars of Jabneh.[2] [3] He was a disciple of Rabbi Akiva and is quoted among "those who argued before the sages."[4] Only one law, relating to the Temple service on Yom Kippur, is preserved in his name.[5]
Another sage bearing the same name, also known as Hanan ben Abishalom, presided as a civil court judge in Jerusalem during Temple times. He was active a few generations earlier.[6] [7] Several of his decisions have been preserved.[8]
