famed for his genius as a scholar, he
also was renowned for his humility
and for his attitude toward other
human beings.
While just about everyone knows
how Hillel responded: "What is
hateful to you, do not do unto your
neighbor," when asked by a heathen
to "teach me entire Torah while
standing on one foot," here is a story
you may not know about Hillel.
A poor man was in need of a
horse. Hillel not only found a horse
for him to ride, but secured a ser-
vant who would accompany the
man. When, one day, the servant did
not appear for work, Hillel himself
took the servant's place.
#11) Most Jews are familiar with the
name of Rashi, also known as Rabbi
Solomon ben Isaac, whom most
regard the greatest Jewish commenta-
tor on the Torah and Talmud. But do
you know what Rashi (c. 1030-1105)
did for a living? He owned a number
of vineyards and was a wine mer-
chant.
#12) Similarly, Maimonides (1134-
1204), author of the Guide for the
Perplexed and considered the greatest
legal scholar of medieval Judaism,
became a physician specifically so that
he would not have to live off commu-
nity money.

how to teach Jewishly is through
CAJE, the Coalition for the
Advancement of Jewish Education.
