Description
Agadot Hazal - those sections of Rabbinic literature that are non-normative, neither legally prescriptive nor proscriptive, are a treasure-trove of perspectives and attitudes towards an unlimited range of topics. In this series, we will look at Agadot Hazal - both in Bavli and in Midrashic collections - that speak of the enterprise of Torah sheBa'al Peh and the transmission and development of Halakhah. To wit - an Aggadic window into the world of the Beit Midrash. In this fourth installment, we begin an inquiry into the schools of Shamai and Hillel and how the later generations viewed their disputes.
