På universitetet rekommenderades jag ett verk om senhellenistisk filosofi, som beskrev Hillel den yngre som arvtagare till och förmerare av den moraliska visdom som utvecklats under hellenismen; i tillägg till hans kompetens som kalenderskapare. Texter av Hillel d.y. har jag letat efter sedan dess - men inte hittat på ett språk jag kan förstå. Chat gpt scholar föreslog denna, vilken inte var till mycket hjälp. Däremot är det naturligtvis intressant att få fördjupad förståelse för hur judendomens lärde förstår de mer socialt orienterade budorden.

This is a lovely book of ethics without being preachy. It contains the thoughts and arguments of the great rabbis and sages on classic human experience and circumstances that challenge one’s character from a Torah foundation and perspective. The writing is applicable and accessible to anyone of any faith.
