According to tradition, Ezra was one of the greatest leaders of the Jews at the end of the Babylonian exile and during the beginning of the Second Temple Era. He was a disciple of Baruch ben Neriah, who studied under Jeremiah.

Ezra oversaw the building of the Second Temple and the fortifying of Jerusalem. He also wrote the book of Ezra. The synod called the Men of the Great Assembly, with Ezra as one of its leaders, sealed the canon of the Hebrew Bible.

According to tradition, Ezra was born about 2400 years ago.
