hakkadosh

Updated: May 27, 2025

Into this poem went the energy of Browning's heart and imagination; some of his matured wisdom entered into Jochanan Hakkadosh, of which, however, the contents are insufficient to sustain the length. The saint and sage of Israel has at the close of his life found no solution of the riddle of existence.

Edward Dowden - Robert Browning

Here are the graves of Rabbenu Hakkadosh, of Rabban Gamaliel, and of R. Chiya, who came up from Babylon, also of Jonah the son of Amittai; they are all buried in the mountain . Many other Jewish graves are here. Thence it is five parasangs to Tiberias, which is situated upon the Jordan, which is here called the Sea of Chinnereth.
