It is the ethical summit of the Torah, and its holiness is concrete: leave the corner of the field to the poor, pay the wage-earner on the same day, do not curse the deaf, do not place an obstacle before the blind, rise before the elder. Hillel will see the entire Law in it. Almost all the virtues that the Great Books of lineage find in families — charity, care for the other, justice — have their written source here.
