ancient passover
is it not recorded that the passpver in the tannainic period was celebrated in november, the fall harvest, when the agragarian people would bring their harvest to the city? This is shown in biblical accounts. And there seems to be soeone on the crucifixion darkness page who feels the calendar was known in that period. Obviously it was reformed multiple times after the city was completly destroyed and the calendar is noted only as babilonian in 29AD. It seems important to both christian and jewish history to properly understand "every word of god" and so reconciling biblical accounts of the crucifixion and various calendar accounts can tell us how passpver became a lunar holiday rather than a fall harvest. Any thoughts might be helpfull. My guess is that sources would be in sanscrit..

rabban vs rabbi
The article says: "Rabban was a higher title then Rabbi, given to the Nasi starting with Rabban Gamliel Hazaken with the sole exception of Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai".

But the article shows Yochanan ben Zakkai as a Nasi, and as being later than Gamliel Hazaken. So how is this an exception?

Perhaps what is meant is that, with the sole exception of Yochanan ben Zakkai, "Rabban" is confined to those Nesiim who are descended from Hillel. (For example, Rabban Gamliel once had to step down in favour of Rabbi Eleazar, but the latter did not become "Rabban Eleazar".) --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 09:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Compilers of the Mishnah
The article lists six rabbis as compilers of the Mishnah, five of them before Judah haNasi, who is said to have redacted the Mishnah in the form we now know it.

Two of the other five rabbis have red links that cannot be fixed: Which Rabbi Yosei/Jose? Which Rabbi Shimon/Simeon?

Finally, I'd like to write an introduction to this section. Can somebody point me toward a good source? Does anybody know what role the five played in compiling the Mishnah? Some of them (Rabbi Meir, for example) lived before Judah haNasi. How could they have compiled the Mishnah years before he did? — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 22:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Timeline
I know this is not specific to this article, but the timeline indicates a year zero - this is, of course, wrong, and makes it look a little daft, especially given that the topic is somewhat scholarly. Could someone change this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.185.146.245 (talk) 18:56, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Saducees and Pharisees
Both groups existed and even coexisted for a long time. They were in conflict at specific moments in history for different reasons. Fortunately we have good articles on both that go into this. I do not think this is the place, especially as any summary is likely to oversimplify. I removed some unsourced material but I think the article is stronger without it. Still, we need more sourced material. Slrubenstein  |  Talk 18:41, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Twice listed
In the section where the different generations are listed, Gamaliel II of Yavneh is listed twice in the second generation.165.73.33.168 (talk) 08:50, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
