Classics of Mussar: Pirkei Avot
Join Kavana partner Bruce Kochis and Rabbi Jay LeVine for stimulating chavruta (paired learning) and conversation around one of Judaism's oldest guides to life, the 2nd-century collection of pithy rabbinic sayings known as Pirkei Avot. These teachings are evergreen and always worth studying, but a tradition developed to immerse ourselves in these ancient words in particular during the season of counting the omer (the forty-nine days between Passover and Shavuot). This series will run for 6 weeks between Passover and Shavuot. More about Pirkei Avot.
