Rabbi Hilkiah (
Hebrew: רבי חלקיה) was an Amora of the
Land of Israel of the fourth generation of the Amoraic era. He was an
Aggadist and his teachings mostly dealt with this issue.
R. Hilkiah is mentioned dozens of times in the
Jerusalem Talmud and the Midrash Aggadah, and once in the
Babylonian Talmud.[1] He was the pupil of R. Pinchas and a colleague of R.
Shimon ben Pazi. The Midrash mentions a sage called Isaac ben Rabbi Hilkiah, who may very well be his son.[2]
