1st-century rabbi and Jewish leader Yohanan ben Zakkai ( ‎, 1st century CE ), sometimes abbreviated as Ribaz ( ) for R abbi Y ohanan b en Z akkai, was one of the Tannaim , an important Jewish sage in the era of the Second Temple , and a primary contributor to the core text of Rabbinical Judaism, the Mishnah . His name is often preceded by the honorific title, "Rabban." He is widely regarded as one of the most important Jewish figures of his time and his escape from the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, that allowed him to continue teaching, may have been instrumental in rabbinic Judaism surviving the destruction. His tomb is located in Tiberias , within the Maimonides burial compound . He was the first Jewish sage attributed the title of rabbi in the Mishnah . There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or templates on this page, but the references will not show without a template or template (see the help page ). We suggest that the avoidance of the title "Rabbi" for pre-70 sages may have originated with the editors of the Mishnah. The editors attributed the title to some sages and not to others. The avoidance of the title for pre-70 sages may perhaps be seen as a deliberate program on the part of these editors who wanted to create the impression that the "rabbinic movement" began with R. Zakkai and that the Yavnean "academy" was something new, a notion that is sometimes already implicitly or explicitly suggested by some of the traditions available to them. This notion is not diminished by the occasional claim to continuity with the past which was limited to individual teachers and institutions and served to legitimize rabbinic authority.
