Judah ha-Nasi , c.135-c.220, Palestinian Jewish communal leader ( tanna ). He occupied the office of patriarch ( nasi ) which was reestablished by the Romans after 135. Under his leadership, Palestinian Jewry rebuilt its economy, which had been devastated during the revolt against Rome (132-135). Tradition has presented him also as a learned rabbi and as the redactor of the Mishna , although his role in the production of the Mishna has been questioned by recent scholarship.
