There is a widespread custom to study Pirkei Avos, the Mishnaic Book of the Ethics of our Fathers, between the festivals of Pesach and Shavuot. As we prepare for the reenactment of the Sinai Revelation and the giving of the Torah, we prime ourselves to become worthy vessels for Torah by refining and improving ourselves. The authoritative Jewish book for self-improvement is Pirkei Avos. In this podcast, we share an incredible Mishnah in Pirkei Avos with the exquisite commentary of Rabbeinu Yonah. What he lays out before us is a complete masterclass on how to develop our talents and fulfill the mission that we were entrusted with. We learn about the imperative for agency and urgency in undertaking our spiritual agenda, and we learn about the terrifying formidability of the Yetzer Hara’s insurgency against us.
