The ethics of the Talmud: sayings of the fathers

---

The book called Pirk Aboth, or Sayings of the Fathers, is a collection of the ethical words of wisdom of the "fathers" of post-Biblical Judaism. For centuries it was the most widely read Jewish book, for there was no better introduction to Jewish piety, saintliness, love for God and man, and devotion to learning. Technically a part of the Mishnah, the legal commentary on the Bible, Sayings of the Fathers is a mirror of the spiritual life of Rabbinic Judaism, and a record of the living experience of the sixty-five sages quoted within it..
