Idi bar Avin
290 CE–360 CE · Amoraim · Shechantziv
Rav Idi bar Avin was a fourth-generation Babylonian Amora who flourished in the late third and early fourth centuries. He was active in the academy of Shechantziv and is known primarily through his appearances in Talmudic discussions, where he engaged with the teachings of earlier Amoraim and contributed to the elaboration of halakhic doctrine. Like many sages of his generation, he participated in the transmission and interpretation of rabbinic tradition during a period of significant Jewish intellectual activity in Babylonia.
