Pirke Avot: The Sayings of the Jewish Fathers by Joseph I. Gorfinkle

"Pirke Avot: The Sayings of the Jewish Fathers" by Joseph I. Gorfinkle is a compilation of Jewish ethical teachings from Rabbinic tradition. This tractate stands unique in the Mishnah as the only one focused solely on moral and ethical principles rather than religious law. It preserves the wisdom of sages spanning four centuries, from Simon the Just to the era of Judah haNasi. Through aphorisms and maxims, it explores proper conduct, social ethics, and the importance of Torah study, tracing how these fundamental principles passed through generations.
