zahavasdad and derszoger,

Shammai’s view is being mis-represented.

He was dealing with a potential convert whom he saw as having unreasonable expectations. For someone who wants everything taught on “one foot” the 7 Noachide commandments could be his best path to spiritual growth.

Once someone is already Jewish, both Shammai and Hillel would agree that a much different approach is needed.
