Pirkei Avot: The Misunderstood Masterpiece

Course · 6 Lesons · 4 hr 37 min

Traditionally studied each week between Passover and Shavuot, the Mishnaic tractate Avot may be the most beloved work of rabbinic literature; but its purpose and teachings are also often misunderstood. In this audio course, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik provides learned insight into the unique lives and worldviews of the rabbinic sages found in Avot. He thereby shows how to understand Avot as what it really is: an intellectual history of Jewish minds that were often in debate, and who offered solutions to challenges in a post-Temple world that was in many ways like our own.
