Jonathan ben Uzziel (Hebrew: יונתן בן עוזיאל) [Alternatively Yonatan ben Uziel or Yonosson ben Uziel] is known as the author of Targum Jonathan he is also said to have written a book of Kabbalah known as Megadnim. He was one of the 80 Tannaim who studied under Hillel. His tomb is in Amukah in the Galillee near Tzfat, Israel. Traditionally those who are unmarried visit this location in order to be granted blessings in his honor and in his merit find a marriage partner. The Talmud in Sukkah 28a tells that while he was absorbed in studying Torah if a bird flew over his head it would be burnt (possibly a metaphor meant to say that any scholar who wished to differ in opinion with him was incapable of such).
