Eliezer ben Hyrcanus (end of 1st cent. CE). Jewish
tanna. Eliezer was described by
Johanan b. Zakkai as outweighing all the sages of
Israel (
Avot 2. 8). Both literally and metaphorically, he regarded the transmission of the Jewish inheritance as imperative. After his discussion with the
Sanhedrin on ritual purity, his view was rejected and he was excommunicated (
ḥerem). Only after his death was he reinstated as one of the foremost halakhists of his time.
Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer (Sayings of Rabbi Eliezer) are ascribed to him.
