Rabbi Yose beRabbi Yehudah רבי יוסי ברבי יהודה
Son of Rabbi Yehudah bar Ilai and a frequent disputant of Rebbi in the Mishnah and baraitot, carrying his father's tradition into the generation of the Mishnah's redaction. His best-known teachings include the three good providers — Moshe, Aharon, and Miriam, in whose merit Israel received the well, the cloud, and the manna — and the two ministering angels who escort a person home on the eve of Shabbat.

V. How do we know
| Claim | Evidence | Confidence | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taught: three good providers arose for Israel — Moshe, Aharon, and Miriam — and three good gifts were given through them: the well in the merit of Miriam, the pillar of cloud in the merit of Aharon, and the manna in the merit of Moshe. | rabbinic | ★★★★☆ | |
| Taught: two ministering angels escort a person home from the synagogue on the eve of Shabbat, one good and one evil, answering "amen" to the blessing earned by the state of the home. | rabbinic | ★★★★☆ | |
| A teaching in Avot in the name of "Rabbi Yose bar Yehudah of Kfar HaBavli" — on learning from the young versus the old, answered by Rebbi's "do not look at the jug but at what is in it" — is traditionally linked to him.
The Avot attribution carries the epithet "Ish Kfar HaBavli"; identification with the son of Rabbi Yehudah bar Ilai is traditional but not certain.
|
rabbinic tradition | ★★☆☆☆ | |
| A Jerusalem Talmud discussion explicitly aligns a teaching of Rabbi Yose beRabbi Yehudah "with the position of Rabbi Yehudah his father" (deRabbi Yudah avoy).
This supports identifying his father with the prominent tanna Rabbi Yehudah bar Ilai. The research input cited segment 7:5:2; the statement is in the body of the halakhah and the ref was adjusted to the halakhah level at ingest.
|
rabbinic | ★★★★☆ | |
| Rabbi Yose beRabbi Yehudah appears as a contemporary disputant of Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi in tannaitic material.
The legal substance is omitted; the juxtaposition supplies a generational synchronism.

rabbinic reconstruction | ★★★★☆ | |
| Traditional placement c. 3900–3970 AM (c. 140–210 CE): son of Rabbi Yehudah bar Ilai and disputant of Rebbi in the Mishnah and baraitot.
