It's Your Life. Live It Well. Let "Avos" Show You How.
- Shidduch not working out and you are SO upset. Take a hint how to behave from Rav Chaim Volozhin, who learned it from Rabban Gamliel -- in Pirkei Avos.
- It's just one of those days when nothing goes right for you. Time to read about the cheder rebbe who lost the $10,000 he’d borrowed for his child’s wedding, but who did not lose his temper or composure, because of something he'd learned from Ben Azai - in Pirkei Avos.
- You try and you try and you try ... and you don't succeed in learning. See what the Steipler had to say to a struggling bachur and how Rabbi Chalafta ben Dosa solved the problem - in Pirkei Avos.

Pirkei Avos has been the subject of hundreds of commentaries throughout the centuries, with the Torah luminaries of each generation contributing their interpretations and explanations, relating the timeless lessons of the Tannaim to the people of their eras and cultures. For Pirkei Avos is nothing less than the repository of moral and spiritual guidance for our nation — it instructs us as to how we should act and live, and what we must strive to become. Every generation has its own unique circumstances and challenges, but the words of Pirkei Avos are as meaningful and essential today as when they were arranged by Rabbeinu HaKadosh.Rabbi Sholom Reuven Feinstein, the Rosh Yeshivah of Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem / Yeshiva of Staten Island, has undertaken the challenge of producing a commentary on Pirkei Avos that speaks to our generation. With his immense breadth of Torah knowledge, along with his signature warmth and straightforward style, he makes the words of Pirkei Avos speak to our lives, and shows us how we can utilize them to become more effective servants of Hashem Yisborach.
This work, translated and adapted from the Hebrew by his grandson and talmid, Rabbi Moshe Weiss, will surely become a favorite resource for those who study and teach Pirkei Avos, and take a worthy place in the library of sefarim on this essential tractate. Learn More
