Almost nothing is known about Nitai the Arbelite, and not very much about Yehoshua ben Perachia. Except that according to one Talmudic story, he was the teacher of Jesus. In this class I will attempt to answer some of these questions:
1.Why was Yehoshua ben Perachia associated with Jesus?
2.How do we reconcile the anachronistically of Jesus being a student of Yehoshua ben Perachia?
3.Who worships a brick?
4.Do we know anything else about Nitai the Arbelite?
