AUTHOR'S NIGHTS - PIRKE AVOT: Timeless Wisdom for Modern Life by William Berkson

Timeless Wisdom for Modern Life by William Berkson

"William Berkson provides a fresh, insightful, and exciting approach to this central and compelling classical Jewish ethical text… Most significantly, Berkson brings the ideas found in Avot into con-versation with a wide variety of philosophical, psychological, and religious perspectives so that the reader can drink deeply from the wellsprings of wisdom that Avot offers for contemporary persons - Jews and non-Jews alike. This book is a most important contribution to Jewish conversation in our time!" Rabbi David Ellenson, President, Hebrew Union College.
