	H'ai Gaon \| Encyclopedia of Religion
		H'ai succeeded his father, Sherira', as head of the academy at Pumbedita and occupied the post for forty years, during which time he penned hundreds of responsa, composed significant halakhic monographs, and trained Jewish students from all over the world.
		The quantity of H'ai's responsa—about one-third of all preserved Geonic responsa are attributed to him—indicates that he was considered the leading legal authority of his time, a status underscored by the far-flung provenance of his correspondence and the fact that he was appealed to by scholars of the first rank.
		H'ai also wrote a short treatise on the nature of the messianic redemption and discussed the esoteric teachings of merkavah mysticism.

		Despite Hai Gaon's protests, Natronai became a legendary personality, and many fictitious and fanciful decisions were attributed to him, particularly in Yemenite Midrashim.

	Parashat Vaethanan
		Abaye and Rava died near the middle of the fourth century,[2] thus these two views of Rav Hai and Maimonides are not far apart.
		Therefore, if the calendar was indeed established in the fourth century, when a rabbinical court with this authority still existed,[3] we can ascribe its establishment to the Sanhedrin which had the authority to determine the time of the festivals during the year.
		The fact that there was a dispute between R. Saadiah Gaon from Babylon and R. Ben Meir, head of the Academy in the land of Israel, regarding the time of the holidays in the years 922-924 indicates a tradition that was not yet firmly established regarding the rules of the calendar.
