1 author picked The Pirkei Avos Treasury as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Pirke Avos—often translated as “The Ethics of the Fathers” or “The Chapters of the Sages”—is the only book of the Talmud devoted exclusively to ethics. (The Talmud is a collection of rabbinical commentaries on the Torah, or “Old Testament”). Don’t be put off by the “gendered” title. Pirke Avos is a treasure trove of ethical guidance and psychological insight for anyone seeking a richer spiritual life. This particular edition brings together scores of sages and scholars in one volume.
From Ronald's list on Jewish ethical teachings.
