5.0 out of 5 stars Pirkei Avot--Ethics of the Fathers, April 3, 2000
By Rosalind Flusberg (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
Pirkei Avot-Ethics of the Fathers

It is a collection of ethical sayings made by Rabbis who passed down Jewish law and tradition. Pirkei Avot was compiled around the year 200 C.E.

This edition is visually beautiful and chock full of interesting commentary in well written English. I received it as a gift for my 50th birthday. It is easy to read, and a pleasure to browse through. I used this edition to teach selected sayings to a 12 year old girl from a non religious Jewish background. The commentaries sparked endless excited discussion. My student was enchanted by this edition and has requested that I buy it for her as her Bat Mitzvah gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Avot The ethical principles of the Fathers , April 26, 2006
This is the great Jewish wisdom book in which teachings of how to live the life of Derech Eretz, moral goodness, dedication to Torah which leads to action- are given.
'Artscroll' opens its commentary with a perush on 'All Israel has a share in the world- to- come' by explaining that this is a way of motivating each and every one of us to learn, to not despair before the endless sea of knowledge which we can never completely make our own.
'Artscroll' also supplies illustrative anecdotes, nice little stories. Though it is a bit Galutish in the typical Artscroll style it nonetheless is rich in learning , and a commentary highly recommended.

By ~ Chaim (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
I have read many of your reviews and have found them very helpful. I have a naive question for you. What does "Galutish" mean? Thanks!
