Chananel Ben Chushiel - Definition and Overview

Chananel Ben Chushiel (or Rabbeinu Chananel), 990-1053) was a rabbi and one of the last Geonim. He is best known for his commentary on the Talmud.

Rabbeinu Chananel was born in Kairouan, Tunisia. He studied under his Father, Chushiel, the head of the Kairouan Yeshiva and through correspondence with Rabbi Hai Gaon. Chananel's most famous student is probably Isaac Alfasi.

He wrote the first complete commentary on the Talmud, this is today embedded in the actual Talmud page. The commentary presents a paraphrased summary of the main arguments in the gemara, omitting most of the non-legal sections (Aggada). A distinctive feature of the commentary is the presentation of the parallel passages from the Jerusalem Talmud.
