Unveiling Pirkei Avos: 

A Deep Dive with Dr. Steven Weiss and 

Rabbi Dr. Eliezer Brodt

 

We're sharing this conversation now after finishing Pirkei Avos with Mishnah Yomi, and with summer being the time many people focus on learning Avos. Dr. Steven Weiss, as you'll hear, has an incredible passion for all things Avos. He has collected thousands of seforim and meticulously documented nearly every work on the subject up until 2015. His vast knowledge is a treasure for anyone interested in Pirkei Avos.
