“Like stars in the sky, the words of Chazal sometimes appear to be mere dots of light. It is only with a (mental) telescope that we begin to see how great they truly are.”

Rav Yisroel Salanter

Pirkei Avos is a treasure house of wisdom and insight, waiting for its doors to be unlocked and its messages understood. With a novel approach to examining the Mishnahs — one that is thoughtful yet leavened with humor — this slim volume offers the reader the opportunity to access those eternal lessons and to internalize them.

Enter the world of Pirkei Avos through these pages and discover the greatness of the “stars” and the brilliance of the “light”!
