Hillel the Elder: Law with a Human Face

In this episode, Harmonia takes you into the noisy, anxious streets of Second Temple Jerusalem to meet Hillel the Elder-a quiet scholar whose patience changed the future of Jewish life. We begin on a freezing rooftop, where a poor student named Hillel nearly freezes just to hear a lesson, and follow him as he becomes the heart of Beit Hillel, the "house of Hillel," a school of thought that leaned toward mercy rather than harshness.
