-==Student of Rabbi Yochanan==
-Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya was one of the five main students of [[Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai]] which included Rabbi Eliezer ben Hurkenus, [[Rabbi Elazar ben Arach]], [[Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya]] and [[Rabbi Yossi Hakohen]]. His teacher praised him saying he fears sin. When Rabbi Yochanan asked his students to choose the best trait for a person to acquire, Rabbi Shimon replied "to see the outcome of one's actions". When he once again requested them to list the worst trait that a person should most distance himself from, Rabbi Shimon replied "To borrow and not to repay, since one who borrows from man it is as one who borrows from Hashem, as it states, ``The wicked man borrows and does not repay; but the righteous one is benevolent and gives'".
-==Teachings==
-Be particular about the reading of the Shma and prayer. When you pray, do not make your prayers routine, rather pleadings before Hashem, as is stated ``For He is benevolent and merciful". And do not be wicked in your own eyes.
