According to Halacha, any debt that goes into Shmita becomes canceled and the borrower does not have to pay the lender back. This led many people to transgress the positive commandment of lending fellow Jews money during the latter years of the seven-year cycle, out of fear of being unable to recover the funds. A Prozbul is a document created by the lender at the start of the Shmita year which is then signed by three judges, transferring the collection of the funds to Beis Din, thereby turning his private loans over into the domain of the public administration causing them to have a semi recovered status since potentially there would be no way to avoid repaying such loans.

	There were a number of converts that were rejected by Shamai who deemed their requests unreasonable but were converted by Hillel. One came on condition that he be taught all the Torah on one foot, Hillel proceeded to convert him and then said "what is despicable to you, do not do to your friend. This is the entire Torah, the remainder is commentary."		There were a number of converts that were rejected by Shamai who deemed their requests unreasonable but were converted by Hillel.

	One Friday Hillel could not afford the entry fee into the Beit Medrash of Shmaya and Avtalyon. He climbed on the roof so he could listen to the lecture through the skylight, where he became so observed in the Torah that he did not realize he had become covered in snow. On Shabbos morning the dimmed lighting in the studyroom led to an investigation and they found Hillel covering the opening, almost frozen to death, covered by five feet of snow. They dug him out, and placed him near a newly created fire, Shmaya and Avtalyon that Hillel was worthy to have the Shabbos desecrated for. This incident led to the abolishment of the entry fee into the Beit Medrash.		One Friday Hillel could not afford the entry fee into the Beit Medrash of Shmaya and Avtalyon.
