According to a tradition preserved in the academies, Rav Ashi was born in the same year that Raba, the great teacher of Mahuza, died, and he was the first teacher of any importance in the Babylonian colleges after Raba's death.
The work begun by Rav Ashi was continued in the two succeeding generations and completed by Rabina, another president of the college in Sura, who died in 499.
Rav Ashi's son Tabyomi, always spoken of as "Mar (Master), the son of Rab Ashi," was a recognized scholar, but it was not until 455, twenty-eight years after his father's death, that he was invested with the position that his father had so successfully filled for more than half a century.

 Pesachim 17a-23b - OU.ORG   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
In the course of its continuing discussion of ritual purity (tumah v'taharah), the Gemara discusses the question of a pin that is found in the flesh of one of the sacrifices in the Temple.
Rav explains that the case is when the pin may have been in direct contact with a dead body, giving it the unique status of the dead body itself, based on the rule of herev harei hu ke-halal - that a sword is considered to be like a corpse.
With regard to our case of the pin found in a Temple sacrifice, Rav Ashi introduces a well-known rule about safek tumah (a situation of questionable ritual defilement) - in a reshut ha-rabim (a public domain) it is considered tahor; in a reshut ha-yahid (a private domain) it is considered tameh.

 INSITES OF THE DAY - Kesuvos, Daf 53
Rav Papa prodded him to come, telling him not to think that it is prohibited to give a Nedunya to one's daughter for one thereby causes that money to be taken away from the inheritance of the sons.
ANSWER: Rav Papa perhaps wanted to prove that not only is it permissible to give a Nedunya to one's daughters, but that it is a Mitzvah to give a Nedunya to one's daughters, even when one does not need to do so in order to find a Shiduch for her.
Rav Papa was the father of the groom and had already decided to give his son in marriage to his wife's sister.

Rav Papa says that we now know which are the two forbidden materials that must not be sewn and worn together (sha'atnez), for the Torah uses the word BEGED, whilst describing the prohibition of sha'atnez.
The Gemara disregards R' Papa's attempt at elucidation, and although he was in fact mistaken, the Gemara says that it is an "external view", but does not state explicitly that he was wrong.
Rav Yitzchok Elchonon Spector - the Rav of Kovna - once received a telegram from a certain town, in which the petitioner urgently requested an answer for a particular halachic query.

 12nusach
Rav Pappi cites Rava that one should recite "le-va'er chametz" (the verb form - to do bi'ur chametz) whereas Rav Papa cites Rava that the berakha is "al bi'ur chametz" (a noun form - on bi'ur chametz).
Rav Pappi's tradition was that this only refers to what was previously done and therefore is not the proper form of birkat ha-mitzvot.
Rav Herschel Schachter has printed, in the name of the Rav, a treatise regarding birkat ha-mitzvot (originally printed in "Or Ha-mizrach" #134, 135 and 136 and reprinted in his "Eretz Ha-tzvi").

 INSITES OF THE DAY - Bava Kama, Daf 9
Rav Huna answers that the verse means that the Mazik may pay either with Kesef or with Meitav Sadehu.
This appears to contradict the ruling of Rav Papa and Rav Huna brei d'Rav Yehoshua (7b), who rule that every form of Shaveh Kesef (except for land) is considered "Meitav" and is as equally valid as Kesef as a form of payment.
Rav Huna is the one who suggests that one may pay with Kesef or with land, and that they are equal forms of payment.

The Gemara concludes that according to Rav Papa only a king is excluded, but not a gambler, since a gambler is only disqualified miderabanan.
In addition, Rav Papa's position is difficult according to this distinction of the Kessef Mishneh.
Rav Papa, however, didn't differentiate between types of kings because he held like the Rashba that it depends on whether he is obligated to testify or not.

Rav Nachman says he announces a garment; we are not concerned about dishonest people, for if so, there would be no end [i.e., we might decide not to make _any_ announcement].
Rav Safra says: Actually, he announces a garment: He (the finder) announces a garment and he (the claimant) cites identifying marks.

In Masechet Rosh Hashana (18b), Rav Papa interprets the above pasuk in Zecharia to mean that the status of 17 Tammuz, 9 Av, 3 Tishrei and 10 Tevet is conditional.
When the period is neither one of “peace” nor one of “royal edicts”, Rav Papa states that a choice exists, if they so desire – they fast and if they so desire – they do not.
There, the Rav discusses two typologies in man’s attempt to deal with the existence of evil in the world – the man of fate and the man of destiny.

Rav Zevid explains that the mishna is referring to casks and cups, which should be left in place, while the baraita refers to knives and forks that should be announced as lost objects.
Rav Papa's explanation is difficult in that it does not account well for the baraita's ruling that the lost object must be announced and returned.
The gemara explains, according to Rav Zevid, that words "to be cleared away" in the phrase in the baraita "because it is it is normal for a dump to be cleared away," do not refer to the dump but to the utensils.

I heard from Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik (in a Shiur he delivered at Yeshiva University in September 1985) that a fifth ramification might be the question debated in the Gemara (Rosh Hashana 26b) regarding the shape of the Shofar that we blow on Rosh Hashana.
Rav Soloveitchik suggested that the opinion that one should be confident on Rosh Hashana is more compatible with the opinion that there is a Mitzva to rejoice on Yom Tov.
Rav Tzadok HaCohen (1823-1900; Chassidic Sage and thinker; one of leading Torah scholars in the 19th century; author of Pri Tzadik) points out that the Shevarim and Teruahs, which are the broken sounds of the shofar (representing the crying out of a broken spirit), must always be sandwiched between two Tekiahs.

Rav Papa's statement is provoking in two regards.
First, it opens up the whole complex question of how Judaism relates to superstitions, the occult, astrology, numerology, etc… (For example, Parashat Mishpatim mentions that we should kill sorcerers-does this mean that the Torah acknowledges the existence and power of sorcerers?) Fortunately, this is a question that I am thoroughly unqualified to answer.

Be that as it may, Rav Elyashev's point is that Klall Yisroel was not concerned over the Techeiles - he makes a list of specific Gedolim - and he is attributing that lack of concern to the Arizal.
Rav Gershon said to him, "Tell me; what was the difference of opinion between Rav Meir and Rav Yehudah regarding Chametz (leavened bread) and in what regard did they agree with each other?" The man stood there dumbfounded unable to open his mouth.
So if someone like Rav Elyashev shakes his head at this techeiles nad says its nothing at all to be concerned about, that theres zero reason to bother with it, your "in case its a good thing" attitude is misplaced.
