Rebbi Yehoshua was a Jewish rabbi of the 2nd century. He was a contributor to the early Oral Torah, mainly the Mishnah and the midrash halakha.
Views on sin
The Midrash Avot de Rabbi Natan, states:
- One time, when Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai was walking in Jerusalem with Rebbi Yehoshua, they arrived at where the Temple in Jerusalem now stood in ruins. "Woe to us" cried Rabbi Yehoshua, "for this house where atonement was made for Israel's sins now lies in ruins!" Answered Rabban Yochanan, "We have another, equally important source of atonement, the practice of gemilut hasadim (loving kindness), as it is stated 'I desire loving kindness and not sacrifice'".
