   a great honor to shield Jews from whatever is going to happen, and you   
   should absolutely 100% do that.   
      
   Remember that Moshe Rabbeinu was so great, and I often think that if   
   there is a "summary of the Torah" (which the Rabbis like to babble   
   about, principles they call it), then it's nothing like what they are   
   talking about (because you cannot and should not summarize arbitrarily   
   the laws in the Torah, and if you need a shortened version then why   
   don't you just take the 10 words "commandments"), but rather the act   
   where Moshe Rabbeinu saved those two Jews who where attacked by those   
   Egyptian enforcers, by killing them. This send Moshe Rabbeinu from a   
   place at the court no less, to being a refugee. This act of self   
   sacrifice, justice & courage, if anything might be the summary of the   
   Torah.   
      
   So this whole babble talk by Hillel "Do not do to your neighbor that   
   which is hateful to you, rest is commentary", that would be untrue in   
   this view. To throw your entire life away, take the ultimate risk to   
   free people who are abused against overwhelming odds (two against one is   
   already overwhelming odds), that is a whole other level than just not   
   doing to your neighbor that which is hateful to you. Some casual person   
   who never does much, that is already the entire Torah, huh Hillel ? Are   
   you speaking about yourself maybe, are you creating a model you could   
   fit ? No no, not so Moshe Rabbeinu. That was a whole other story. So   
   much more courageous, risky, and out for Justice at total disregard to   
   himself. THAT IS THE TORAH.   
      
   Risk your life, everything you are, for Justice sake, for the abused.   
   This is what you would be doing, if you shielded a Jew in your house,   
   when the evil ones are out looking to kill them. If you went as far as   
   to kill a search party looking for these hidden Jews, throwing your   
   entire life away: this may be the essence of the Torah. True courage,   
   complete self sacrifice, an all overwhelming need for Justice, the rage   
   of true Justice so to say.   
      
   May we all be like this. Humanity should live forever. Instead, we have   
   the mess we have, but perhaps not for long anymore ...   
      
   Yeah this Hillel. He certainly was no Moshe Rabbeinu, was he. This   
   Rambam, also nothing like Moshe Rabbeinu. Stop with your insults and   
   your lies Israel. Rambam is not like Moshe Rabbeinu, not in deed and not   
   with his phony laws which cause your exile.
