Years: 232 - 243
Babylonian Jews accept as binding the rulings of Samuel bar Abba, the acknowledged temporal leader of the Jewish community in Babylonia, in monetary and civil matters.
He also instructs Jews to adopt the laws of whichever land they dwell in, thus preparing them for survival in foreign environments.
Rav Samuel is noted for improving moral and intellectual positions through his responsa (ordinances), including a ban on marriage without courtship and forbidding fathers to betroth a daughter without her consent.
These responsa, posed in the form of questions, become a popular way of maintaining contact with dispersed communities of Jews.
