A Complete Commentary

Pirkei Avot

Ethics of the Fathers

Pirkei Avot — the Ethics of the Fathers — is one of the most beloved and studied texts in all of Jewish literature. A collection of moral and ethical teachings from the great sages of the Mishnaic era, it has guided Jewish life and thought for nearly two thousand years.

In this complete series of thirty-five lessons, Rabbi Dunner explores every mishnah in depth — drawing on classical commentaries, Chasidic thought, and his own original insights to bring these ancient teachings to life for a contemporary audience. Each lesson is available to read, watch, and listen.
