Ravina (I)

Ravina was Rav Ashi's major assistant in compiling the Babylonian Talmud. Though older than Rav Ashi, Ravina saw the latter as his teacher. He spent his early years studying under Rava and frequently cited him. While he headed an academy for a very short time, he did much of his teaching on the road. He was also known for his compassion for others.
