Ammi b. Abba

For the sixth generetion Amora sage also of Babylon, see Rami b. Abba (II).

Rammi bar Abba (or Rammi B. Abba [= an abbreviation of R. Ammi b. Abba ], or Rammi bar Abba I) was a third generation Amora sage of Babylon, and a disciple of Rav Huna. He transmitted to his generation many enactments of R. Jose ben Halafta in Sepphoris, among them: a woman shall not walk in the street while her son is behind her, owing to an incident that once happened, when immoral men kidnapped a child which was following his mother, and she was searching for him, then they lured her into a house, telling her he was there, and there assaulted her. Another enactment: women while in the closet should talk to one another for the sake of privacy from the intrusion of men, which is illegal due to the prohibition of Yichud. He cites Rav Huna's work, who was probably his teacher Rabbi. He engaged a lot in Aggadic issues.
