June University Series with Rabbi Randy

Our June University series will have Rabbi Randy focusing on Pirke Avot and the Shmonah Perakim. Pirke Avot is a collection of  ethical statements and short teachings compiled in the second century BCE. Many well-known maxims are part of this work including Hillel’s famous saying: “If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?” Hundreds of years later, the Jewish scholar Maimonides wrote a commentary on Pirke Avot, and the Shmonah Perakim is his philosophical introduction to that work. One of the traditions around Pirke Avot is to study it during the summer, so our timing is perfect!  The University Series will then take a break in July and return in August.
