Gamaliel

Gamaliel the Elder (or Rabbi Gamaliel I) was indeed the grandson of Hillel. He is in the “House of Hillel” tradition which tends to be less rigourous than the “House of Shammai”. It would, therefore, be the traditions of Hillel in which Paul was schooled.

Not a lot is known about Gamaliel’s distinctive teachings.
