ELEAZAR (Eliezer) HA-KAPPAR
- ELEAZAR (Eliezer) HA-KAPPAR
- ELEAZAR (Eliezer) HA-KAPPAR (late
second century C.E.), Palestinian tanna,
sometimes referred to as Eleazar ha-Kappar Beribbi (i.e., the descendant
of eminent scholars). It is occasionally difficult to distinguish
between the statements of Eleazar and those of bar kappara , who
was probably his son, and who was also called Eleazar ha-Kappar Beribbi.
It is improbable, as some scholars believe, that the two were identical,
since the son is sometimes specifically referred to as "Eleazar ben
Eleazar ha-Kappar Beribbi" (e.g., Tosef., Beẓah 1:7). The father was
apparently a member of judah ha-nasi 's bet ha-midrash
(Tosef., Oho. 18:18), while the son was Judah's pupil. Some of the
halakhic and aggadic remarks contained in the Mishnah and the
beraitot perhaps should be attributed to the father. Eleazar
ha-Kappar (the first) may be the author of the maxim "Envy, cupidity,
and the craving for honor take a man out of the world" (Avot 4:21), and
of the aggadic statement: "Great is peace for all the blessings conclude
with the word shalom (peace)" (Sif. Num. 42), since it is
followed immediately by another tradition brought in the name of his
son. In 1969 a stone, which was apparently the lintel over the main
entrance to a bet midrash, was found in the Golan area,
inscribed with the words: "This is the bet midrash of Rabbi
Eliezer ha-Kappar." It is unclear whether this inscription refers to the
father or to the son.
