Intro To Pirkei Avot
|
This course offers an introduction to one of the oldest sources of Jewish ethics: Pirkei Avot — Chapters of the Fathers. Named for the early generations of rabbinic sages, Pirkei Avot opens the door to the world of Mussar, the Jewish path of spiritual and ethical development.
Although rooted in antiquity, Pirkei Avot speaks directly to our lives today, offering timeless wisdom for moral growth, character refinement, and daily living. One well-known teaching from the text asks: “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And being for myself, what am I?” This is just one example of the depth and relevance this work brings to our personal and relational lives. |
