If the question refers to Rabbi YOCHANAN Ben Zakkai, founder of "Dor Yavneh" then the answer would almost definitely be - HE DIDN'T.

Rabbi Yohanan lived the last days of his life in Yavneh, establishing the first School of Rabbinical Judaism in 70 CE (AD).

In 70 CE (AD) he had been a Judean general defending Jerusalem agains the Roman legions of Vespasian and escaped. (See separate answer to "Who was Yohanan Ben Zakkai")

Shimon Bar Kochba was the Judean leader who led the rebellion against Rome and briefly, for 3 years, re-established independence in Judea from Rome (132-135 CE-AD).

This had to be long after the death of Rabbi Yohanan, as the Sanhedrin he established 63 years earlier as a grown man had already moved north from Yavneh to Oshea in Galilee.

The spiritual leader who helped or at least inspired Bar Kochba was RABBI AKIVA BEN YOSEF.

The Romans put Rabbi Akiva to an incredibly cruel death in 137 CE (AD) by flaying and burning alive, a barbaric measure repeated with another 9 prominent Galilee Rabbis, following the draconian measures the Romans employed against the Jews after their brutal repression of Bar Kockba's revolt in 135 CE (AD).

What is the name that was given to judah by Romans refers to the philistines?

After the second great Jewish revolt, led by Simon Bar Kochba, Rome expelled the surviving Jews and renamed the land Palestine, in the full knowledge that the Philistines had been the main enemy of the Jews in earlier Biblical times. This was a good example of adding insult to injury after a hard fought victory in a war that was very costly to both sides.


What did Jesus say or do that made Simon want to follow Him?

In a nutshell: All Jesus said was, 'Follow Me.' In order to understand why Simon and his brother Andrew immediately got up and followed him you have to understand the context of Jewish customs. Back then, Jewish boys would study the Torah, or the Old Testament, and memorize it. Mostly the wealthier families could afford to have tutors and not have their sons working for the family. When they reached a certain age they would go to a Rabbi, or Teacher of the Law, and try and convince that Rabbi that they had what it took to be his disciple. The Rabbi would either accept the boy as his apprentice or would reject him. Of course, to be chosen was every boys dream, but it usually turned out to be the wealthier boys who had more time to memorize. If the boy was chosen he stayed there with the Rabbi and learned to be like him. If the boy was rejected he would go home and continue life doing the family trade. So you have to picture a couple of poor-rejects living life doing the family trade; Simon and his brother Andrew were in a boat fishing with their father, and Jesus comes up to them and says 'Follow Me. I'll teach you to fish for men." Jesus was saying that he was willing to take the poor-rejected and allow them to be his disciples. They were going to get to live their dreams so naturally they immediately got up and followed him.
