Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya was second generation Tana and one of the five main students of Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai. He is mentioned many times through out the Mishna under the name 'Rebbe Yehoshua'. Escaping the destruction of Yerushalaim aloung with his teacher, Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya went on to serve as the Av Beis Din in the Sanhedrin of Yavneh.
Kever Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya
Rebbe Yehoshua ben Chananya is buried in Tzfas in the Old Cemetery along the path leading down from the Arizal Mikva, across from the Kevarim of Beeri HaNavi, Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta and the mistakenly marked location of the kevarim of Chana-and-Her-Seven-Sons and Rabbi Bachya. Historically this tomb was attributed to the prophet Hoshia ben Beeri by many different sources but the holy Arizal revealed through his Roach Hakodesh that it is really the resting place of the Tana Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya.
