Pirkei Avot: Ethics Of The Fathers (Memorial Edition)

ANCIENT WISDOM FOR A MODERN TIME Pirkei Avot - Ethics of the Fathers with a new commentary anthologized from the works of the classic commentators and the Chassidic Masters, with a lucid English translation and brief but insight-laden commentaries, this edition of Pirkei Avot is for those who wish to cover a chapter a week during the Omer period and throughout the summer. Most of the commentary consists of elucidations by the classic commentators, and is studded with insights adapted from the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. This anthology both explains the simple meaning of the text and reveals the mishnah's deeper layers, presenting it in a manner meaningful to a modern society. The Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg Memorial Edition is a beautiful hard leatherette bound edition, the complete, expanded version of the 5764 condensed publication. It is enhanced by silver-edged pages, two tone printing, and artwork throughout the text. The original sayings of Pirkei Avot appear in Hebrew, as well as in English.

Designed to make obscure concepts and complex philosophic and spiritual principles as accessible as possible, Pirkei Avot - Ethics Of The Fathers is a "must" for novice readers seeking improved comprehension of this tractate.

After reviewing many versions of this book, I am very pleased with this particular version. Further, it was quick and easy to order and was received promptly.

A beautiful presentation book, with commentary in the chassidic/Chabad tradition.
