Bar Kokhba revolt
Rabbinic texts indicate that following the [[Bar Kokhba revolt]], southern [[Galilee]] became the seat of rabbinic learning in the [[Land of Israel]]. This region was the location of the court of the Patriarch which was situated first at [[Usha (city)|Usha]], then at [[Bet Shearim]], later at [[Sepphoris]] and finally at [[Tiberias]].
