Judah (יְהוּדָה "Praise", Standard Hebrew Yəhuda, Tiberian Hebrew Yəhûḏāh) may refer to: * One of the sons of the Biblical patriarch Jacob, see Judah (biblical figure) * The tribe formed by Judah's offspring, see Tribe of Judah * The kingdom ruled by the house of David after the Kingdom of Israel broke off following the death of King Solomon, see Kingdom of Judah * The southern part of the Land of Israel, in the period from the end of the kingdom of Judah (''c.'' 586 BC) to the Roman time, see Judea * Judah, Coadjutor of Josephus, as mentioned in Josephus's ''Vita''. * Judah, Son of Simeon Tharsi, possibly the great-nephew of Judas Maccabeus. From I Maccabees. * Judah (Russian family.) Family prominent in the communal life of Grodno and Lithuania during the greater part of the sixteenth century. Judah Bogdanovich, its chief founder, was born about 1475 and died at Grodno about 1546. * Judah haNasi (135-220), aka Judah I, Judah the Prince, redactor of the Mishnah, the core work of Judaism's oral law. * Judah II, son of Gamaliel III, and grandson of Judah I. He lived at Tiberias in the middle of the third century. In the sources he is called "Judah," and occasionally "Rabbi" like his grandfather; as was Judah III. * Judah III, son of Gamaliel IV. and grandson of Judah II. Judah III. held the office of patriarch probably during the close of the third and the beginning of the fourth century.
The early classic work of rabbinic literature are often ambiguous on who is being spoken of; they often do not clearly distinguish between Judah I, Judah II, and Judah III. Later commentaries on the Talmud sometimes differ with each other in attributing quotes and actions because of this lack of clarity. We need to note this when working on articles relating to these men. The 1906 ''Jewish Encyclopedia'' provides the following information which may be of some use: :Judah I. Patriarch; redactor of the Mishnah; born about 135; died about 220. He was the first of Hillel's successors to whose name the title of hereditary dignity, "ha-Nasi" (= "the prince"), was added as a permanent epithet; and accordingly in traditional literature he is usually called "Rabbi Judah ha-Nasi." In a large portion of such literature, however, and always in the Mishnah, he is simply called "Rabbi," the master par excellence. He is occasionally called "Rabbenu" ("our master) :Judah II. Patriarch; son of Gamaliel III. and grandson of Judah I.; lived at Tiberias in the middle of the third century. In the sources he is called "Judah," "Judah Nesi'ah" (= "ha-Nasi"), and occasionally "Rabbi" like his grandfather; as Judah III. is also designated as "Judah Nesi'ah," it is often difficult, sometimes impossible, to determine which one of these patriarchs is referred to. In halakic tradition Judah II. was especially known by three ordinances decreed by him and his academy; one of these ordinances referred to a reform of the divorce laws (Yer. Giṭ. 48d; Giṭ. 46b). :Judah III. Patriarch; son of Gamaliel IV. and grandson of Judah II. The sources do not distinguish between Judah II. and Judah III., and, since the title "Nesi'ah" was borne by both, which of the two in any citation is meant by "Judah Nesi'ah" can be gathered only from internal evidence, especially from the names of the scholars mentioned in the context. Judah III. held the office of patriarch probably during the close of the third and the beginning of the fourth century. == Etymology == :Judah (יהודה "Praise", Standard Hebrew Yəhuda, Tiberian Hebrew Yəhûḏāh) The word יהודה does not mean "praise." According to ''Genesis'' 29:35, Leah chose the name to resemble the Hebrew word for "''thanks''", not "praise", and the word isn't the same in any case—"thanks" is תודה (toda) or הודיה (hodaya), not יהודה. If there are no objections, I'll change all these definitions to be accurate. --User:Simetrical 23:47, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
