Details: The Life and Teachings of Hillel provides the most comprehensive treatment ever published of one of the greatest figures in Jewish tradition. Yitzhak Buxbaum weaves together the various stories about Hillel along with his teachings and sayings to develop this ground-breaking portrait, shedding new light on Hillels illustrious career, fascinating life, and profound teachings. Hillel is one of the most important and popular of the talmudic sages, yet he is mostly known only in the context of two or three popular stories told about him. Such stories as teaching the Golden Rule of Torah while standing on one foot, and his saying, If I am not for myself, who will be for me, and if I am for myself alone, who am I, have eclipsed a more complete view of Hillels influence and significance. In the rabbinic tradition, there is much debate between the teachings of the school of Hillel and that of his contemporary, Shammai. Hillel is often seen as the more tolerant, softer teacher, with his teachings representing what we consider normative Judaism. Often, the traditions passed down to modern times are a result of the rabbis reconciliation of the two schools, so that Hillels pure teachings have been lost. The Life and Teachings of Hillel separates out Hillels teachings and looks at them independently of Shammais. Studied on their own, it becomes evident that Hillel was actually much more radical and hasidic than is commonly thought. While he is known for representing the gentler, more loving side of Judaism, in this work his pious radicalism is also apparent. Readers will be charmed and fascinated by Hillels fiery gentleness. The Life and Teachings of Hillel offers new information about a radiant religious figure, and it also recovers a side of Jewish tradition that has been lost to most people.
