Summary:

Rabbi Judah ha-Nasi was without doubt the most outstanding leader of the Jewish people in their land in the Roman and Byzantine period. Aharon Oppenheimer profiles the patriarch and shows how his authority, his ability to cooperate with the Roman authorities, and political sensibility led to his using a heavy hand on those who dared to disagree with him.
