| Description: | |
| Ten sons of the Amora Rav Papa. |
The ten sons of Rav Papa are Chanina, Rami, Nachman, Achai, Abba Mari, Rafram, Rachish, Surchav, Ada and Duro. Their names are mentioned as part of the Siyum ceremony upon the completion of a Massechta as a Segula to remember it. Rav Pappa chose names for his sons each one symbolizing one of the '10 Commandments' and one of the '10 Utterances' with which the world was created. According to at least one tradition they died martyrs deaths 'Al Kidush Hashem' for religious persecutions.
