The Ethics Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe

75
Judaism #119

The Ethics Podcast is dedicated to exploring the authoritative book of Jewish Ethics, the Book of Mishnah titled “Ethics of our Fathers”. This book, called “Pirkei Avos” in Hebrew, is nearly 2,000 years old, and it is a compendium of the ethical aphorisms of the great Sages of Jewish history circa 300 BCE – 200 CE. Each episode begins with a biographical sketch of the Mishnah’s author culled from the Mishnaic, Talmudic, and Midrashic Literature, and shares some of the timeless lessons and applications of the teaching.

    Scholarship. Leadership. Brotherhood. Oh my. A rung above the angels. Making tsunamis and revealing H with a jawbone. Knocking some consciousness into the rest of us.
