Hebrew English Pirkei Avot w/Commentary Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz KOREN

Hebrew/English Pirkei Avot with Commentary by Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz Pirkei Avos with Commentary by Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz Tractate Avot is unique within the Mishna and the Talmud. It does not address halakha, but is primarily a book of ethics and wisdom, guiding us in our behavior and inner attitudes. Avot was written for those of us who seek to go above and beyond our standard obligations and follow a more elevated path. It therefore constitutes our aspirations for improving our moral character by keeping its teachings front and center. This book might be the Sages’ most personal work; its words of wisdom and ethics were hewn from the hearts of the Sages of Israel, and studying them illuminates the Sages’ worldview and way of life. This commentary on Pirkei Avot opens the gate to a wondrous treasure of Jewish tradition, connecting our inner experience today to the world of the Sages.   Pirkei Avot (Hebrew: פִּרְקֵי אָבוֹת, romanized: pirqē avoṯ, lit. 'Chapters of the [Fore]fathers'; also transliterated as Pirqei Avoth or Pirkei Avos is a compilation of the ethical teachings and maxims from Rabbinic Jewish tradition. It is part of didactic Jewish ethical literature. Because of its contents, the name is sometimes given as Ethics of the Fathers. Pirkei Avot consists of the Mishnaic tractate of Avot, the second-to-last tractate in the order of Nezikin in the Mishnah, plus one additional chapter. Avot is unique in that it is the only tractate of the Mishnah dealing solely with ethical and moral principles; there is relatively little halakha (laws) in Pirkei Avot.

Effective Living- Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D. – New, some wear on dust jacket

Inside of book is in brand new condition. Some signs of wear on dust jacket.In Effective Living, Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., shares with us two of the most important truths he has learned in his many decades of cutting-edge work, both as a psychiatrist and as a rav.Change is hard. And change is possible.Drawing upon his years of experience with thousands of people who want to live meaningful and satisfying lives, he shows us how to become more effective in our relationships – as parents, as spouses, as employees and as human beings living in an increasingly complex world. We learn how to walk the fine line of « assertiveness » – the balance between passivity and aggression. We discover how to motivate ourselves and others; how to uncover just what it is we really want to do, and how to make it happen; how to find the strength within us to change « I wish » to « I will. »Dr. Twerski does not back off from addressing many of the ills of contemporary society, such as eating disorders, anxiety and depression, « burnout, » and ADHD. Whether it is we or our loved ones who must deal with them, we will gain immeasurably from his balanced and compassionate perspective on understanding and coping with these challenges.Effective Living includes sections on parenting young children and adolescents, on the specific challenges of the « sandwich generation, » on issues of aging, and on the primary importance of prayer-its profound power and the peace of mind it proffers. And of course, the book features the true-life stories that bring Dr. Twerski’s wisdom to vivid life.In Effective Living, Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D. takes us on a grand tour… of ourselves, our personalities, our minds, and our amazing capacity for growth.
