{"product_id":"pirkei-avot-ethics-of-the-joseph-g-rosenstein-9798897831432","title":"Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers): The Big Picture","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePirkei Avot\u003c\/i\u003e consists of teachings initially assembled c. 200 CE and forms a small part of the Mishnah, a compilation of Jewish practices developed in response to the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. Ethical issues play such a central role in \u003ci\u003ePirkei Avot\u003c\/i\u003e that early translators referred to it as Ethics of the Fathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the 123 teachings in \u003ci\u003ePirkei Avot\u003c\/i\u003e are not arranged by topic and often appear unrelated to one another, its broader conceptual framework--the \"big picture\"--can easily be overlooked. This book addresses that challenge by approaching \u003ci\u003ePirkei Avot\u003c\/i\u003e thematically. It examines key topics, including the Oral Torah, the world to come, the study of Torah, and a range of ethical concerns; and analyzes the connections among teachings across the text. In doing so, it offers readers a clearer sense of structure and a more coherent narrative understanding of \u003ci\u003ePirkei Avot\u003c\/i\u003e as a unified work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph G.
