Noach asks: I cannot identify "Savya" who interacts with Reb Yochanan. I do not recollect seeing the name and I do not see it in Da'as Doros. Appreciate help! Gut Erev Shabbos, Noach miTelshestone ------------------------------------ The Kollel replies: The word is probably prounounced 'Sabaya', which means "the elders" (see Nazir bottom of 39a). In Yevamos 86b, Rebbi 'Yonasan' argues with Sabaya - I propose that the text should be corrected to say "Yochanan", as in our Sugya. Apparently, the word 'Sabaya' is referring to a group of unspecified contemporary Talmidei Chachamim (perhaps Reish Lakish and later Rebbi Elazar) who disagreed with Rebbi Yochanan on the matter under discussion. Best wishes, Mordecai Kornfeld Kollel Iyun Hadaf
