Starting on Tuesday, February 10, from 7:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m., Adath Israel Congregation will be hosting “Pirkei Avot – A Study of Jewish Ethics” a 5-part series. Pirkei Avot (Ethics of Our Ancestors) is a classic Jewish text filled with wisdom about how to live with integrity, purpose and responsibility towards others.
This ongoing course will be led by Rabbi Irvin M. Wise, and he will explore some selected teachings and discuss how these ancient ideas speak to the ethical and social issues of our modern world. Contemporary commentary by Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz will be also utilized, and participants of this course will reflect on what Jewish values can teach them about justice, character and how to live meaningful lives.
Should you want to attend “Pirkei Avot – A Study of Jewish Ethics,” you can register for it on Adath Israel Congregation’s website. Following the first class on February 10, the next four classes will be on February 17 and 24 and March 3 and 10. Each evening class falls on Tuesday and lasts from 7:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.
