Sh'maya (Mishnah)

Sh'maya (or Shemaiah) was a rabbinic sage in the early pre-Mishnaic era who lived at the same time as Avtalyon. They are known as one of the zuggot ("couples"): Sh'maya and Avtalyon. Both Sh'maya and Avtalyon were converts to Judaism.

• See Shemaiah for those with that name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
