Tarfon

Tarfon

Rabbi Tarfon (Variante: Tarphon; hebräisch: רבי טרפון; nicht identisch mit dem bei Justinus Martyr genannten Tryphon; bei Hieronymus zu Jes 8,11: Telphon!) war ein jüdischer Gelehrter des Altertums und gehörte zur so genannten 2. Generation der Tannaiten (ca. 90-130 n.Chr.).

Er war Gefährte Akibas, Pharisäer aus priesterlicher Familie, in Lydda beheimatet, Lehrer des Jehuda ben Ilai.

Rabbi Tarfon betonte die Wichtigkeit des objektiven Faktums vor der bloß subjektiven Intention und entschied stets zu Gunsten der priesterlichen Interessen.

Ihm zugeschrieben ist u. a. der schöne Ausspruch: „Nicht liegt es an dir, das Werk zu vollenden, aber du bist auch nicht frei, von ihm abzulassen“ (Abot 2, 21).
