A baraita leads to the inference that the hakham was always the director of a school (bet ha-midrash), for in addition to the Great Sanhedrin, which later came to take the place of an academy, there were also private academies under the direction of eminent scholars. The origin of the office of hakham is as doubtful as its duration. Frankel thinks that Joshua ben Hananiah, who lived in the beginning of the second century C.E., was the first hakham, but he does not sufficiently support this assertion.
By Mayo Clinic Staff. A broken toe is a common injury that most often occurs when you drop something on your foot or stub your toe. In most cases, a broken toe can be immobilized by taping it to a neighboring toe. But if the fracture is severe â particularly if it involves your big toe â you may need a cast or even surgery to ensure that your broken toe heals properly. Most broken toes heal well, usually within four to six weeks.
Most broken toes occur after jamming the toe or when something falls onto it. Symptoms include swelling, pain, and discoloration. If the symptoms have not gone away within two or three days after the injury, or if you are unable to wear your normal footwear, you should seek medical attention.
