Jewish Wisdom - Rabbi Hillel
On One Foot
Illustrated by Nuria Balaguer
A young man travels to Jerusalem to learn the Torah. When he decides that the greatest teacher will be able to teach him the entire Torah while standing on one foot, he gets laughed at and shooed away. Finally he meets the great Rabbi Hillel who offers him words of wisdom that are still with us today.
