The grave of Jose ha-Gelili, 2013

He disputed with R. Eleazar ben Azariah , Akiba and R. Tarfon .

A stranger, but already endowed with the knowledge, authority and self-confidence of a teacher, he appeared in the Jawne Lehrhaus and in a short time gained such a reputation that even Akiba put up with words of sharp criticism from him and occasionally because of Joses Opposition changed his mind (Bab. Chagiga 14 a; Pessachim 36 b).

In particular, statements about sacrifice and temple service have come down to us from Jose ha-Gelili. Jose's Haggadan interpretation of the numbers of the Egyptian plagues has found its way into the Haggadah schel Passover .

Noteworthy are his decisions that poultry can be cooked in milk and that leavened foods are only forbidden on Passover as food, but not for other uses.

Even in the third century, Samuel ben Nachmani expressed himself about Jose's great piety: “If Israel sins and as a result the rain does not come, but a pious man, like z. B. Jose ha-Gelili was one who prays, then rain would immediately fall from the sky ”(Pal. Taanit I., 1).

Jose left two sons: R. Elieser and R. Chanina.
