Shimon or Simeon ben Hillel was the son of Hillel the Elder. Little is known about him. Simeon was the father of Gamaliel I, and grandfather of Simeon ben Gamaliel.[1]
Rabbinical tradition considers him Nasi of the Sanhedrin, in succession to his father.[2]
Some Christian writers identify him with the Simeon who blessed the infant Jesus.[3]
