משנה מסכת אבות פרק א:יב
Hillel and Shammai received from them. Hillel would say: Be of the disciples of Aaron--a lover of peace, a pursuer of peace, one who loves the creatures and draws them close to Torah. [Translation by chabad.org]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. What is a lover of peace? What is a pursuer of peace? How are they different?
2. How are pursuing peace and loving Torah related?
3. Can you think of someone who embodies these traits? Who?
Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
