Hillel

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition

Hillel fl. c.30 BC-AD 10, Jewish scholar, regarded as the forebear of the later patriarchs who led the Jews of Palestine until c.AD 400. The Jerusalem Talmud calls him the president of the Sanhedrin. He and Shammai formed the most important of the rabbinic zuggot (oppositional pairs), with Hillel usually taking a more liberal stance in the interpretation of scripture.

Glatzer (1956) and A. H. Blumenthal... Read more
