Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
How close to one’s teacher must one be for one to be obligated to rise? The baraita rules four amot, but Abaye restricts this to a regular teacher. If the teacher is his primary teacher, he must rise if he is anywhere within his sight.
The story here seems to illustrate that while some rabbis took this mitzvah seriously, not all did.
