Avos 3:1 - How to Avoid Transgression (Part 1: Intro, Facts, and Questions)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

This evening (9/8/22), in our first Thursday Night Pirkei Avos shiur of the year, we began with an overview of Pirkei Avos to set the stage. We then read and translated Akavya ben Mahalalel's method of avoiding transgression, raised a bunch of questions and problems, and took a few tentative steps towards answering them. Next time (בג"ה) we'll learn the commentaries and attempt to answer our questions.
