Rav Joseph bar Hama (orYosef bar Hama; Hebrew: רב יוסף בר חמא) was a Babylonian rabbi of the third generation of amoraim.[1]
He was a disciple of R. Sheshet.[2] However, The Talmud also cites statements that he delivered on the authority of Rav Nachman bar Yaakov.[3]
He had a son of the name of Rava (Rava b. Joseph b. Hama), who became one of the most prominent Amora sages and the head of the academy of Pumbedita, in MahuzaofBabylonia.
