Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This exceptional translation of Pirke Avot (Pirkei Avot) features
in full the chapters and sacred phrases by the Jewish forefathers.
This edition is in hardcover. Pirke Avot or Pirkei Avot - in
English 'Chapters of the Fathers' - is a collection of sayings and
aphorisms dating from antiquity which teach the ethics and morality
of the Jewish faith. Attributed to various sages of Judaism who
taught between the 2nd century BCE to the 2nd century AD, this
collection combines some of the finest and most salient phrases
coined by the revered rabbis of old. Since the early Middle Ages,
it has been customary in several Jewish traditions for adherents
and aspiring rabbis to devote time studying and absorbing these
ancient sayings. Many are characterised by a memorable brevity, for
expressing in a couple of sentences what other teachers would find
difficult to teach in several pages. The Jewish principles of
kindness, self-respect and the respect of others are expounded upon
with insightful detail.
