Do we know which Academy Rav and Shmuel belonged to? Maybe they weren't members of any House.

  • I don't think Beis Shammai existed by the time of Rav and Shmuel. By then, the halacha was firmly established in favor of Beis Hillel (Eruvin 13b, Y'rushalmi B'rachos 1:4; for a list of exceptions, see Tosafos on Sukka 3a, s.v. דאמר לך). – Fred Dec 25 '14 at 18:34

  • Fred When Beth Shammai started then? And what were these exceptions? Were they authored by Beis Shammai? – far22 Dec 25 '14 at 18:50
  • @far22 Beis Shammai started at the time of Shammai (around 200 years before the time of Rav and Shmuel). There are six exceptions. IIRC, one is about sukka, three are about tzitzis, and two are about meals. They are exceptions because the rabbis ultimately ruled in their favor on those points. – Fred Dec 25 '14 at 18:58
  • Thank you. When Beis Shammai stopped to exist then? – far22 Dec 25 '14 at 19:30
