Nehardea Academy (Hebrew: ישיבת נהרדעא), previously also known as The House of Learning (Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: בי מדרשא, romanized: Bē Miḏraš) or The Boundary (Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: תחומא, romanized: Tḥūmā) was one of the major Talmudic academies in Babylonia (Mesopotamia), active intermittently from the early Amoraic period until the end of the Geonic period.

Along with Sura Academy founded by Abba Arikha, it opened a new era in which Babylon became the center of Judaism.

[4] R. Nahman of Nehardea visited Rav Kahana III in Pum-Nahara on the eve of Yom Kippur;[5] it is possible he came in order to participate with them in the prayers of the holy day.

After the class ended, a long and lively debate was conducted in which the students would inundate the guest with academic questions.

In many Talmud citations,[7] there is a mention of Nehardea's academy methods, however Amemar states that despite the fact that he is a Nehardean, he thinks otherwise.
