Rabbi Yose HaGlili רבי יוסי הגלילי
Galilean tanna of the Yavneh generation — his epithet marks him as the rare Galilean among the Judean sages — who disputed as an equal with Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Tarfon. Best known for his exegetical rulings, including his view that fowl is excluded from the biblical prohibition of meat and milk, and remembered in the aggadah through Beruriah's sharp rebuke of his roundabout speech.
