Pirkei Avot is the urtext of Jewish practical wisdom. In many ways, the words of Pirkei Avot were the first recorded manifesto of social justice in Western civilization. This commentary explores the text through a lens of contemporary social justice and moral philosophy, engaging both classical commentators and modern thinkers.
It is customary to read Pirkei Avot during the Shabbatot between Pesach and Shavuot. This week we're reading chapter 2, and I'm finding the commentary in this version extremely interesting.
