from
Wikipedia
Judah the Prince was born in 135 CE.
According to the Midrash, he came into the world on the same day that Rabbi Akiva died a martyr's death.
The Talmud suggests that this was a result of Divine Providence: God had granted the Jewish people another leader of great stature to succeed Rabbi Akiva.
His place of birth is unknown ; nor is it recorded where his father, Shimon ben Gamliel II, sought refuge with his family during the persecutions under Hadrian.
He is the only tanna known as " our holy teacher " due to his deep piety.
