  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Or Aqiva   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Or Aqiva (אור עקיבא; unofficially also spelled Or Akiva) is a city in the Haifa District in Israel.
Aqiva leads off his Mishnah with the statement that laughter and frivolity make a person used to (or perhaps more prepared for) sexual impropriety.
In addition, though, R. Aqiva is noting that people have 3 positive acquisitions in life, all of which need guarding since they are not inherent to us—wisdom, Torah, and wealth.

 ʿAqivaʾ Ben Yosef Biography | eorl_01_package.xml
ʿAqivaʾ lived during the time of the transformation of Palestinian Judaism from a religion centered on the Temple of Jerusalem to one focused on the study of Torah, the totality of God's revelation to Moses and the Jewish people.
ʿAqivaʾ was born shortly before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE and died during the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–135), the Jews'; last attempt to wrest freedom from the Romans.
Although recent scholarship has challenged many of the details regarding the life of ʿAqivaʾ that are found in rabbinic texts, it does not detract from the impression he made on his contemporaries and on subsequent generations.

 Aqiva Pte Ltd - About Us
Aqiva was founded by a group of innovative individuals.
It was perhaps a little bit of serendipity that these like-minded individuals, were deeply concerned that every individual in this world should never be denied access to Aqua et Ignis – the necessaries of life.
At the time of this writing, Aqiva has chosen to focus its resources and the talents of its people on the business of providing environmental engineering solutions that would go toward the provision of the first and currently most pressing of the necessaries of life – water.

 Back Row Of The 'Beis: Shavuos Shiur
Based on Rabbi Aqiva's own spiritual and psychological personalities, he discovered and developed a path of Torah that was incomprehensible even to Moshe.
Moshe was comforted by the knowledge that, despite the fact that Rabbi Aqiva's shiur seemed foreign to him, it was part of the same process of giluy shekhinah that Moshe began at Sinai.
Moshe was able to recognize that Rabbi Aqiva was a participant in the process he had started at Sinai, the active role the Jewish nation would play in joinig Hashem in the creation of the world through Torah.

 Maharal on Avot Perek 3 Mishna 12, 13
Fundamentally, he says that R. Yishmael and R. Aqiva (the Tanna quoted in Mishnah 13) came in the time right after R. El`azar haModai, so that it makes sense chronologically to place their comments here.
While in the first version he saw them as directly related activities, here it is more a common factor they share—distance from the mindset of yir’ah—that suggests one would lead to the other.
He notes that some thought masoret meant the tradition of what the Torah meant, but he rejects that, as that is part of Torah itself, and it too needs mental safeguards.

 Aspaqlaria: Midrashei Halakhah
Derashah could be understood in 2 ways: Either as applied to the semantics, the meaning of the clauses of the verses, or as applied to the syntax -- that particular words have coded meaning.
While Hillel and Shammai may have had the power to make new derashos (there is debate on this point), R's Aqiva and Yishma'el generation certainly didn't beyond qal vachomer (deriving from the less obvious case to the more).
However, as he was from R' Aqiva's school (a student of R' Aqiva's student, R' Meir), that school ended up making greater impact on the final law.

 Archived: Rabbi Azariah on "3 days" - TheologyWeb Campus
I think Aqiva is trying to help the couples out, but he's slightly on the rigid side.
Aqiva thinks this must mean three 24-hr time periods regardless of when you start counting, but he allows for any part of the third 24-hr period to count as an entire period.
However, other Rabbis, like Rabbi Aqiva, would probably say Jesus could not have resurrected any earlier than Monday morning around sunset for a late Friday afternoon death to satisfy this "3 days" requirement since that means, as a minimum, two complete 24-hr periods plus a little.

 Aspaqlaria: Argument by Design ver. 4.0
After the hereitc left, Rabbi Aqiva's students asked him, "But what is the proof?" He said, "Even as a house proclaims its builder,a garment its weaver or a door its carpenter, so does the world proclaim the Holy Blessed One Who created it.
One can argue that Rabbi Aqiva's students realized that his proof was far from rigorous.
The ver 1.0, being closest to reducing the claim to a postulate, carries for me the most appeal.

 Yishmaʿeʾl Ben Elishaʿ Biography | eorl_14_package.xml
Yishmaʿeʾl was ʿAqivaʾ ben Yosef's most famous contemporary; rabbinic tradition has constantly placed the sayings of these masters in opposition to each other.
In fact, he most often employed methods not found in that list, such as the analogy, but that were commonplace among the Hellenistic rhetoricians of his age.
Thus Yishmaʿeʾl's importance probably stems from the frequent juxtaposition of his sayings with those of ʿAqiva,ʾ one of the most important sages of Jewish history, and not from anything he actually said or did, or at least not from anything attributed to him in the sources we have at hand.

 Maharal on Avot Perek 3 Mishna 16, 18
The Mishnah continues its presentation of R. Aqiva’s views, in this Mishnah discussing the way reward and punishment works.
Studying the way Maharal interprets those metaphors will afford us the opportunity to review his (and the mainstream of traditional Jewish thought’s) view of reward and punishment.
TWO CHALLENGES FOR US With the reminder of God’s ability to repay, R. Aqiva goes on to point out the balance of freewill and reward and punishment in our lives.

Quotations of Song of Songs in the context of martyrdom as exemplified by R. Aqiva's focus on the Shema imply, among other things, an erotization of the death for God as consummation of the love for God.
The connection between love of God exemplified through quotations of Song of Songs and martyrdom through a reference of Ps 44:23 "out of love for God we have been killed all day" would be a prominent theme already in one of the oldest instances of Rabbinic martyr texts, Mekhilta Exod.
Aqiva figures as a prototypical martyr in this text.

 S.C.J. FAQ: Section 3.48. Torah: What is the Mekhilta on Deuteronomy?
There is also a Mekhilta deRabbi Shim'on bar Yochai, but that is rarely referred to, and therefore people would call it by the full name.
This other Mekhilta is sometimes called Mekhilta deVei Rabbi Aqiva (the Mekhilta of the house/school of Rabbi Aqiva) as the identification of the school of the author is more sure than the who in that school actually wrote it.
This split is quite relevent as Rabbi Yishma'el and Rabbi Aqiva had very different theories about how the rules of derashah, of associating halakhos with the text by hermeneutic rules, work.

How can I be free to choose when G-d already knows what my choice will be?
Rabbi Aqiva seems to simply take it as a divine mystery, "hakol tzafui vehareshus nesunah -- all is foreseen, but freedom is granted." The Rambam, in Hilkhos Teshuvah, also describes it as a Divine Mystery.
If we can't understand what it means that He knows something, where He and His Knowledge are one, and where learning (which is a process of change, and therefore of time) is not involved, how can we discuss mysteries about how that knowledge interacts our free will?
