In this session as well as our session in May, we will explore the timeless wisdom of Perkei Avot, a second century work of Mishnah that offers pithy and occasionally contradictory advice about tradition, legacy, learning and life. Avot begins with the chain of transmission from Sinai to Moses to Joshua and so on. We will take up our place in the conversation in the next two (April and May) independent but linked sessions.
