ETHICS OF THE FATHERS One of the following chapters is read each Shabbat after Pesah until the Shabbat before Rosh HaShana. On the last three Shabbatot before Rosh HaShana, two chapters are read. All Israel have a share in the World to Come, as it is said: Sanhedrin 90a “Your people are all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever; Is. 60 they are a shoot of My own planting, a work of My own hands, that I may be glorified.”
CHAPTERI
1. Moses received the Torah at Sinai and handed it on to Yehoshua; Yehoshua to the elders; the elders to the prophets; and the prophets handed it on to the men of the Great Assembly. They (the men of the Great Assembly) said three things: Be careful in judgment; raise up many disciples; and make a fence for the Torah.
2. Shimon the Just was one of the last survivors of the Great Assembly. He used to say: On three things the world stands: on the Torah, on divine worship, and on acts of loving-kindness.
grammatic, and at times even cryptic. The first two chapters are organized
chronologically; chapters three and four are collections of sayings; chapter
five records teachings whose common feature is that they are associated with numerical lists; and the sixth is a hymn of praise to the life of Torah and the virtues it requires.
No finer account exists of the way of life epitomized by the sages, which was quiet, scholarly, profoundly driven by a sense of justice and integrity, skeptical of politics and politicians, and dedicated to the life of the mind and to the spiritual drama of study as the highest connection between the mind of man and the will of God.
CHAPTER 1
1:1. The elders: Leaders of the people in the days of the Judges (see Judges 2:7). Men of the Great Assembly: a council of the sages convened by Ezra or shortly thereafter, during the Second Temple period. Make a fence: Rabbinic enactments designed to safeguard Torah observance. ee
