Mishna, Pirkei Avot 1:12
משנה מסכת אבות פרק א:יב
הלל ושמאי קבלו מהם הלל אומר הוי מתלמידיו של אהרן אוהב שלום ורודף שלום אוהב את הבריות ומקרבן לתורה:
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)
