Hillel, the foremost authority on the oral tradition of Judaism that supplements the written law of the Torah, had received both his early and secondary education in his native Babylonia and as a young man emigrated to Palestine in order to continue advanced studies under the leading Pharisaic teachers of Scripture and the Oral Law.
Having gained recognition as the foremost master of biblical commentary and interpreter of Jewish tradition, he has become the revered head of the school known by his name, the House of Hillel, and his carefully applied exegetical discipline comes to be called the Seven Rules of Hillel.
He teaches that kindness and mercy are the core of all the commandments: "What is hateful to you, do not unto your neighbor."
Attracting disciples to his school, he institutes a number of legislative measures that advance the cause of the poor.
