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.
