Bar Kappara

Late 2nd/early 3rd century Jewish rabbi

Bar Kappara was a Jewish scholar of the late second and early third century CE. He was active in Caesarea Maritima, the capital of the Roman province of Syria Palaestina, from around 180 to 220 CE. His name, meaning "Son of Qappara", was taken from his father, Eleazar ha-Kappar.

Bar Kappara is read about 10 times a day, in 7 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 17 August 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
