Avot Today is delighted to say that we have made over 550
articles and discussions of Pirkei Avot available online, both on our blog at avot-today.com and on our
interactive Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/avottoday.
This makes it longer than most printed commentaries on Avot and, unlike books,
our blog can be easily searched by text and by keyword, so you can either quickly
find what you are looking for or save valuable time that might otherwise be
wasted in seeking out something that’s not there. If you are committing
yourself to study Pirkei Avot from now till Rosh Hashanah ushers in the New
Year, feel free to make as much use of Avot Today as you like: if you already
have a favourite Avot read, Avot Today can serve as a handy adjunct to it.
At this special point in the year, I’d like to thank those
of you who have contributed to Avot Today, whether as guest authors or by
posting comments. We are all enriched when we hear fresh ideas or test our own against
others. Please keep posting your comments—and do contact us if you have a post of
your own for us to host or are thinking of writing one.
We have actually had our best year yet in terms of
readership. The Facebook Group now has over 330 members and the blog, starting
from the summer of 2020, has now hosted over 65,000 page visits. I do hope that
these encouraging figures reflect an increased interest in the Ethics of the
Fathers and the wisdom of the ages, and that our emphasis on finding modern
meaning in ancient words makes Avot easier to appreciate and to internalise.
May God grant us all a happy, kosher and above all peaceful Pesach!
PLEASE NOTE: AVOT TODAY WILL BE TAKING A BREAK FOR PESACH THE NEXT POST WILL BE, GOD WILLING, ON WEDNESDAY 1 MAY.
