[Avodah] Rashbi

[Eli Turkel]

<<I  wonder. According to RMMS, Yom Simchas Rashbi is a logical consequence
of the end of the plague. R' Aqiva couldn't teach the whole generation
anymore; so he started teaching 5 new leaders,  >>

OTOH there is the gemara that when there was the dispute in Yavneh between
Rabban Gamliel and R. Yehoshua it was Rashbi that was involved. This story
took place many years before talmidim of R. Akiva (who was junior at that
time) died.
If so Rashbi was a known talmid many years before R. Akiva revived Torah
. As an aside other taananim survived the bar kochba wars including
talmidim of R, Yishmael
