'''Mar Ukva''' was a first generation Amora who served as Resh Galusa. He was a student of Shmuel but sometimes the latter would honor him due to his position of leadership. Once Mar Ukva and his wife jumped into a burning furnace to avoid shaming a pauper. He is buried in the cliffs surrounding the village of Achbara in North Israel. | '''Mar Ukva''' was a first generation Amora who served as Resh Galusa.
