Possibly
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob certainly rate. So does Joseph. Then there was Moses, Caleb and Joshua. Miriam and Rehab shouldn't be forgotten. Deborah and Ruth too. Then there are David and Solomon. The Rabbis Hillel, Yohannan ben Zakkai, and Akiva certainly rate, as does Judah ha Nasi. Rabbi Mier and his wife Bruriah make the cut too. Then, in the early medieval era, Rabbis Judah ha-Levi and Moses ben Maimon (Maimonides). along with Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo ben Yitzhak) and Rabbenu Gershom. Rabbi Moses ben Nachman (Nachmanides) makes the cut. Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer (the Baal Shem Tov) makes the cut, as does Rabbi Judah Loew ben Betzelal (the Maharal) and Rabbi Elijah ben Zalman (the Vilna Gaon). Some of the great Hassidic rebbis need inclusion. Schneur Zalman and Nachman of Breslov, at the very least. Stopping before the 20th century makes sense.
Abraham came from the line of Eber grandson of Shem son of Noah. This means that he was a Hebrew. The Assyrians came from the line of Assur son of Shem son of Noah. They are both Semitic.
Eiver was the great-grandson of Shem. While Shem fathered all of the Semites, it is for Eiver that the Hebrews are named. He was a closer ancestor of the Jews. Shem and Eiver were God-fearing in a world which was becoming increasingly idolatrous, and they transmitted the original traditions to anyone who was willing to listen.
The more educated Rabbis were often considered Jewish Legal Scholars. Probablyone of the most famous of these individuals in recent times was the Vilna Gaon (1720-1797).Answer #2:To come at it from a somewhat different angle . . .It's arguably not too far-fetched to include justices of the US Supreme Court inthe category of legal scholars.

The Hebrew people were monotheists. They believed in one God and in the Torah which He gave.The Hebrews, according to tradition, were (and are) a Semitic people (descendants of Shem; see Genesis ch.11). More specifically, "Hebrews" comes from Ever (Eber), a great-grandson of Shem and ancestor of Abraham.
