The dispute between the school of Shammai and the school of Hillel continued for three years. Each insisted on the correctness of their interpretations of the Law. But Bat-Kol (heavenly voice) was heard:
— The word of the Living God speaks through the mouths of both, but one should act according to the interpretations of the school of Hillel.
“But if the teaching of both is the word of the Living God, what is the advantage of the school of Hillel?”
- The fact that her followers were distinguished by the spirit of meekness and humbleness of mind and, along with their teachings, also taught the teachings of the school of Shammai. Moreover, they always expressed the opinions of the Shammai school before their own interpretations.
