this is touching me
A person might think,
'Since the House of Shammai declares unclean and the House
of Hillel clean, this one prohibits and that one permits,
how, then, can I learn Torah?'
Scripture says, 'Words...the words... These are the words...'
All the words have been given by a single Shepherd, one God
created them, one Provider gave them, the Lord of all deeds,
blessed be He, has spoken them. So make yourself a heart of
many rooms and bring into it the words of the
House of Shammai and the words of the House of Hillel,
the words of those who declare unclean and the words of
those who declare clean.
(Tosefta, Sotah 7:12)
