Rabbi Ḥananya ben Teradyon says in the name of Rabbi Eliezer: A king and a bride may wash their faces (on Yom Kippur). The Rabbis said: A new mother may not wear shoes on Yom Kippur. Rabbi Ḥananya ben Teradyon says in the name of Rabbi Eliezer: A new mother may wear shoes.

R' Chanina was punished for pronouncing the Tetragrammaton in public, and his wife was punished for not preventing him for doing so.

R' Chanina had two sons and two daughters. One son associated with robbers and was put to death (Eicha Rabah 3:16, 6; Semachot 12:13), and the other was a Torah scholar (Tosefta Kelim 4:9).

His well-known daughter was Beruriah.
