Who is Anan ben David?
Anan Ben David is widely considered to be a major founder of the Karaite movement of Judaism. His followers were called Ananites and, like modern Karaites, do not believe the Rabbinic Jewish oral law to be authoritative. Later Karaite sages are highly critical of ben David, leading some modern scholars to believe that Ananism was separate from Karaism.
