Avos 3:11-12 - The Relationship Between Chochmah, Fear of Sin, and Deeds

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This evening (2/9/23), in our Thursday Night Pirkei Avos shiur, we took up the next two mishnayos (depending on how you count) in Chapter 3, since they seem to be inherently related. On account of roller-coaster of a week I had with all the deaths, I didn't feel as prepared for this shiur as I usually do, and while we may not have arrived at polished ideas which live up to my usual standard, I'm pleased with the questions we raised, the insights we gleaned, and the discussions we had. -----מקורות:אבות א:יא-יברמב"םרבינו יונהמאיריספורנו-----The Torah content for this week has been sponsored by Sarah and Moshe Eisen, with the following message: "Dedicated in honor of Popo, who shined bright and brought joy to so many of us. And to Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss who shared her with us and continues to share thoughts, insights, and Torah."The Torah content for this week has also been sponsored by Nava, in memory of Adira Koffsky z"l, who loved learning and philosophy and was a real seeker of truth.-----If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
