Avos deRabbi Nassan
The ancient baraisa that illuminates the teachings of Pirkei Avos
The teachings of Pirkei Avos through the eyes of the Tannaim
Pirkei Avos is one of the most fascinating and widely studied mishnayos, and Avos DeRabbi Nassan - the ancient baraisa that appears among the Masechtos Ketanos, the Minor Tractates, in the classic Vilna Shas - adds even more depth, color, stories and parables to Avos, as taught by the Tannaim themselves.
Now, this enlightening classic is presented as never before:
- Full text of Avos DeRabbi Nassan, with translation and elucidation
- An extensive commentary culled from Rishonim and Acharonim down to today
- The full text of Pirkei Avos with references to where Avos DeRabbi Nassan discusses a particular teaching or a related concept.
Avos DeRabbi Nassan gives us a fascinating and important look into the wisdom of the Tannaim, and this edition is a handy volume that will greatly enhance the weekly study of Pirkei Avos.
Finally, this vital but often-neglected part of Torah has become more accessible than ever.
