Tomb of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi

Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, headed the public institutions of the Jews in Israel sometime between 175 and 220 CE. This is considered the Golden Age of Jewish life in Israel during the late Roman period. During his presidency, normal relations were maintained with the Roman authorities, and he managed to establish close relationships with the Roman rulers. The economy stabilized and improved, also following regulations he established. The institutions he led which were, the presidency of the Sanhedrin, the head of the courts, & the head of the yeshiva, shaped the life here, and I will also add that they had significant impact on the Diaspora. On one hand, he succeeded in driving the Jewish elite to get closer to him, and on the other hand he enabled access to the simple ordinary population which was not familiar with the Torah and was till then were rejected by the leadership institutions. But his great enterprise, which defined him in Jewish history, was the signing of the Mishnah.
The Mishna is a written collection of the Jewish oral traditions also known as the Oral Torah.
Still, his influences on the political, economic, and social environments - were important in his time, but also had impact on future generation.
