Pirkei Avos, also known as Ethics of the Fathers, is a compilation of ethical teachings and maxims from the Mishnah, the second-to-last tractate in the order of Nezikin. It is a crucial part of Jewish ethical literature, offering guidance on how to live a virtuous and meaningful life.

Pirkei Avos translates to "Chapters of the Fathers" in English. The "Fathers" refer to the great Jewish sages who transmitted the Oral Torah and whose teachings are recorded in the Mishnah.

The tractate primarily deals with ethical and moral principles rather than specific laws (halakha). It presents a collection of short, insightful statements attributed to various sages, offering advice on living a good life, cultivating wisdom, and striving for spiritual growth.

Pirkei Avos is widely studied and revered within Jewish tradition, serving as a source of wisdom, inspiration, and guidance for ethical behavior. It is often read in synagogues, and its teachings are frequently quoted in Jewish literature and discussions.

This Pirkei Avos Treasury is volume 2 (Chapters 3-4) of a 3-vol set. here in a slip-cased gift edition. Convenient 4-1/2"x 6" page size, ready to take along wherever you go!
