Nahum the Mede (Hebrew: נחום המדי, transliteration: Nahum HaMadi) was a first-century tanna of the first generation who came to the Land of Israel from Media. He lived in Jerusalem and according to Nathan the Babylonian, he was one of the three most renowned criminal judges in the city.[1] He was one of the seven great contemporaries of Johanan ben Zakai who had survived the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans[2] and who probably became members of the Sanhedrin at Yavne.
