1106.0. "Hillel" by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE (Unquenchable fire) Tue Jul 11 1995 15:42
"A heathen once came to Shammai and said, 'I will become a proselyte on the
condition that you teach me the entire Torah while I stand on one foot.'
Shammai chased him away with a builder's measuring stick. When he appeared
before Hillel with the same request, Hillel said, 'Whatever is hateful to
you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the entire Torah. The rest is
commentary. Now go and study.'"
I've been reading a little about Rabbi Hillel, a remarkable man of God and
predecessor of Jesus of Nazareth.
What do others know of Hillel?
Shalom,
Richard
