'''Yohanan ben Zakkai''' was, according to Rabbinic tradition, a sage living at the time of the [[Jewish War]].
 
==Overview==
 
According to Rabbinic tradition, Yochanan ben Zakkai was a disciple of [[Hillel]] and one of the leaders of the Pharisees before the Jewish War. When Jerusalem was besieged by the Romans, he escaped hidden in a coffin, predicted the throne to [[Vespasian]], and obtained in exchange the possibility to found an academy at [[Jamnia]]. There the foundations of Rabbinic Judaism were laid off in the years following the destruction of the Temple.
