Hebrew/English Pirkei Avot with Commentary by Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz Pirkei Avos with Commentary by Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz Tractate Avot is unique within the Mishna and the Talmud. It does not address halakha, but is primarily a book of ethics and wisdom, guiding us in our behavior and inner attitudes. Avot was written for those of us who seek to go above and beyond our standard obligations and follow a more elevated path. It therefore constitutes our aspirations for improving our moral character by keeping its teachings front and center. This book might be the Sages’ most personal work; its words of wisdom and ethics were hewn from the hearts of the Sages of Israel, and studying them illuminates the Sages’ worldview and way of life. This commentary on Pirkei Avot opens the gate to a wondrous treasure of Jewish tradition, connecting our inner experience today to the world of the Sages.   Pirkei Avot (Hebrew: פִּרְקֵי אָבוֹת, romanized: pirqē avoṯ, lit. 'Chapters of the [Fore]fathers'; also transliterated as Pirqei Avoth or Pirkei Avos is a compilation of the ethical teachings and maxims from Rabbinic Jewish tradition. It is part of didactic Jewish ethical literature. Because of its contents, the name is sometimes given as Ethics of the Fathers. Pirkei Avot consists of the Mishnaic tractate of Avot, the second-to-last tractate in the order of Nezikin in the Mishnah, plus one additional chapter. Avot is unique in that it is the only tractate of the Mishnah dealing solely with ethical and moral principles; there is relatively little halakha (laws) in Pirkei Avot.
