From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jose ben Kisma or Yose ben Kisma (Hebrew: יוסי בן קיסמא) was a Jewish Tanna sage of the third Generation.
He held moderate views, and had objected the rebellion against the Roman Authority. In that conjunction, the Midrash depicts a debate between him and Rabbi Haninah ben Teradion, one of the Ten Martyrs, over studying Torah in violation of the Roman prohibition. The Midrash describes that when Jose ben Kisma died, the greatest of Rome came to bury him, and when they returned from his tomb, they found Haninah ben Teradion teaching Torah in public, and had executed him by conflagration.
The following story by Yossi ben Kisma is recorded:
Jose (Joseph) ben Kisma is said to have been buried in Meron, at a place "between the vineyards."[2]
