Summary: Pirkei Avot--Ethics of the Fathers
Review: Pirkei Avot-Ethics of the Fathers

It is a collection of ethical sayings made by Rabbis who passed down Jewish law and tradition. Pirkei Avot was compiled around the year 200 C.E.

This edition is visually beautiful and chock full of interesting commentary in well written English. I received it as a gift for my 50th birthday. It is easy to read, and a pleasure to browse through. I used this edition to teach selected sayings to a 12 year old girl from a non religious Jewish background. The commentaries sparked endless excited discussion. My student was enchanted by this edition and has requested that I buy it for her as her Bat Mitzvah gift.
