The Ten Martyrs: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The Ten Martyrs were ten Tannaim (Mishnaic sages) who were killed for the sanctification of G-d's name by the government. It is traditionally accepted that the reason for this was because they were equivalent in their generation to the ten tribes who sold Joseph the Righteous, and therefore they were killed. Among these Tannaim were Rabbi Yishmael the High Priest, Rabbi Akiva ben Yosef, Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel, Rabbi Chanina ben Teradion, Rabbi Elazar ben Shamua, Rabbi Yeshevav the Scribe, Rabbi Chutzpit the Interpreter, and according to some opinions, also Rabbi Chanina the Deputy High Priest.
