Ḥiyya Ḳara
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
Palestinian scholar of the third and fourth centuries. He was a pupil of Samuel b. Naḥman, in whose name he asserted that since the destruction of the Temple neither good wine nor white earthenware could be obtained (Lam. R. 4:5). The name "Ḳara" was given him on account of his familiarity with the Bible (comp. "Mattenot Kehunah" on Lam. R. 4:5).
