Tachlifa of the West

Tachlifa of the West (Hebrew: תחליפא בר מערבא, romanized: Tachlifa bar Ma'arava, lit. 'Tachlifa son of the West') was an amora in Syria Palæstina region, who also traveled to Babylonia. He was a student of Rabbi Abbahu,[1] and also taught in the study hall of Rabbi Abbahu in Caesaria.[2] In Baba Metzia Rav Tachlifa teaches that if two people are grabbing a tallis, they each take what is in their grasp, and they divide the rest equally. Rabbi Abbahu indicates to Rav Tachlifa that he should also note that they take an oath.[3] In Berachot 55a, Tachlifa shares a teaching about dreams of Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakkai of Tiberias in the study hall of Abbahu in Caesaria. Whereas Rav Tahlifa noted a verse from Daniel 2:21 as a prooftext, Rabbi Abbahu points out to him that we in Caesaria derive that idea about how dreams are interpreted from a verse in Exodus 31:6.[4] In Sotah 27a Rav Tachlifa teaches in the study hall of Abbahu that if a woman is suspected of adultery, the children are not considered bastards.[5]
