	JewishEncyclopedia.com - TANNAIM AND AMORAIM:
		Not all the teachers of the oral law who are mentioned in the Mishnah are called tannaim, however, but only those belonging to the period beginning with the disciples of Shammai and Hillel and ending with the contemporaries of Judah ha-Nasi I. The authorities preceding that period are called "zeḳenim ha-rishonim" (the former elders).
		Principal tannaim: Nathan ha-Babli, Symmachus, Judah ha-Nasi I., Jose b.
		The following list enumerates all the zeḳenim harishonim, tannaim, and amoraim mentioned in the Talmudic-Midrashic literature, those who are well known and frequently mentioned as well as those whose names occur once only in the Mishnah and Tosefta or in the Talmud and Midrash.

	Tannaim Summary
		The tannaim were the sages of rabbinic tradition who lived immediately before, and then during the century and a half following, the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (70 CE).

		Their opinions are found either in the Mishna or as collected in the Tosefta.
		After the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple (AD 70), Johanan ben Zakkai reconstituted the academy at Jabneh (see Jamnia), where the work of the Tannaim flourished.
		The final compilation and redaction of the opinions and rulings of the tannaim was carried out c.200 under the administration of Judah ha-Nasi, and resulted in the Mishna, which is accorded canonical status and forms the basis for all subsequent rabbinic discussions.

	Tannaim
		A tanna's scholarly reputation depended to a large measure not only on the scope and accuracy of his memory, but on his ability to invoke elements of accepted tradition to resolve disputed questions and problems raised by new situations.
		Thus, the tannaim were not only the conservers of the oral Torah of the Pharisees; in recalling and interpreting the vast body of aphoristic rabbinic tradition, they developed the intellectual tools and authoritative rabbinic texts that became normative for later generations of Jews.
		Their precepts are not limited to those codified in the Mishna, Tosefta and biblical Midrashim but continued to circulate orally among the generations of scholars that composed the Talmud.

	The Beautiful Captive Woman
		Midrash Hagadol and Midrash Tannaim also state, with respect to the biblical requirement "you shall bring her to your house," that the warrior should not oppress her on the battlefield.
		Midrash Tannaim, Midrash Hagadol, bYevamot 48aff, Rashi, R. Hillel in his commentary to Sifrei, Maimonides, Toldot Adam, and Torah Tmimah all suggest that the purpose of the restrictions is to make the captive unattractive.
		It is quite evident that the sages are not pleased with the addition of this heathen captive woman to an Israelite household, and consider the purpose of the rituals to be a hindrance to this marriage in the hope that it will not occur.

		After explaining this particular Mishnah—and we’ll review his explanation in a moment, Maharal goes back to the other four students and re-explains their views, showing how each one provided advice for the guf, nefesh, and the person as a whole.
		I was doing some research for my doctorate this week (the one I keep telling Elizabeth I’m finishing this year), and I came across a discussion of when commentators on Avot began to include an introduction of each of the tannaim quoted before explaining what that particular tanna said.
		Immediately after that, however, Maharal goes back to show how each of the tannaim was providing advice, one directed at the soul, one at the body, and one at the person as a whole.

		The era of the Zugot and Tannaim is distinct from the periods which came before it in two ways: Earlier, there had been no "Machloket" (as was explained in previous weeks), while in the time of the Zugot we find that first Halachic dispute (see Chagigah 16a-b).
		Also, suggests R' Sherira Gaon, before the time of the Tannaim the primary focus of Torah study was on elucidating the scriptural source for each Halacha (using the G-d-given "13 Midot"), while the primary concern of the Tannaim was to clarify the details and scope of the Halachot themselves.
		As we see in the Gemara, the primary work of the Amoraim, their goal was to identify the Tanna who taught each Mishnah, and to demonstrate both the sources of the Halachot which the Tananaim had passed down to the Amoraim, and the roots of each Machloket found in the Mishna.

		Another collection of Oral Tradition from the days of the Tannaim is the “Tosefta,” which in Aramaic means “the addition.” According to tradition, the two great student colleagues of Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi — Rabbi Chiyyah and Rabbi Hoshayah — compiled an additional group of oral traditions as a commentary and complimentary code to Mishnah.
		For instance, Mishnah may bring the opinions of the Tannaim of Yavneh, and Tosefta may report the opinions of the Tannaim of the two later generations in the Galil.
		Tosefta may also provide opinions of Tannaim on topics or issues not at all discussed in Mishnah, or may present the opinions of Tannaim very differently than their presentation in Mishnah.
