This man succeeded Menachem the Essene as Chief of the Court prior to becoming Nasi, or President of the Sanhedrin, during which he passed the 18 Ordinances enforcing his views. Traditionally, this man's views on law were said to be rejected at the Council of Jamnia, perhaps with the help of a divine voice. This man believed that a missed Grace After Meals should be said at the spot of the meal, and that Hanukah candles should decrease from eight to one, both views disputed by his chief opponent, whom he successfully counter-argued less than twenty times in the Mishnah. For ten points, name this first century rabbi, most notable for pretty much always losing disputes to Hillel.
