Hillel Hazaken citations

Hillel l’Ancien, ou Hillel le Sage est le dernier président du Sanhédrin de l’époque des Zougot.

Natif de Babylone, il se rend à Jérusalem, et y devient la figure intellectuelle dominante sous le règne d’Hérode, fondant une école d’interprétation pragmatique de la loi juive ainsi qu’une dynastie de patriarches qui assurera l’autorité spirituelle sur la Judée jusqu’au IVe siècle. La tradition rabbinique le compare à plusieurs reprises à Ezra et Moïse, et c’est selon l’opinion de son école, Beit Hillel , qu’a été fixée la loi dans la plupart des cas. Wikipedia
