Haninah ben Teradion

[2] Following the Bar Kokhba revolt, he was executed by the Romans for ignoring the ban on teaching Torah, and is considered one of the Ten Martyrs.

Nevertheless, Hananiah conscientiously followed his chosen profession; he convened public assemblies and taught Torah.

His disciples begged him to open his mouth so that the fire could "enter" and kill him faster, but Haninah refused.

It is related that Simon ben Haninah applied to this son for information on a point of discussion, and that the latter and his sister, presumably Bruriah, furnished divergent opinions.

When Judah ben Baba heard of those opinions, he remarked, "Haninah's daughter teaches better than his son.

[2] Subsequently, he apparently betrayed his criminal associates,[2] who retaliated by killing him and filling his mouth with sand and gravel.

Having discovered his remains, the people wished to eulogize him as a community out of respect for his father, but the latter would not permit it.
