Rav

Moving from Babylonia to Israel around the same time as his uncle, Rav Chiyya, Rav studied in Rabbi' Yehudah haNasi's academy. Not finding his place there, he moved back to eventually set up an academy in Sura. His academy came to rival Shmuel's academy in Nehardea, as the fame of Rav's wisdom and learning spread far and wide. Besides his many legal decisions and interpretations, he wrote many prayers that are still in use.
