Simeon ben Shetach, or Shimon ben Shetach[1][2] or Shatach[3][4] (Hebrew: שמעון בן שטח), circa 140-60 BCE, was a Pharisee scholar and Nasi of the Sanhedrin during the reigns of Alexander Jannæus (c. 103-76 BCE) and his successor, Queen Salome Alexandra (c. 76-67 BCE), who was Simeon's sister.[5] He was therefore closely connected with the court, enjoying, at least initially, the favor of Alexander.
Although a rabbi by profession, the omission of such an epithet when referred to in rabbinic literature is said to attest to his greatness as a rabbinic Sage, ranking with Hillel.[6]
The Shim'on ben Shatah Street in the center of Jerusalem carries his name.
