Pirke Avot: The Ethics of the Sages

Hosted By: Jewish Center of the Hamptons

Many of us are familiar with Pirkei Avot, or at least some of its most famous aphorisms. For example: “Who is wise? Those who learn from everyone.” “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” And: “It is not up to you to finish the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.” Join this class for a deep exploration of this wisdom with text- to-life analyses of some of the greatest Jewish wisdom of the rabbinic era.
