Avos 3:20 - Entrées and Appetizers in Learning

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 31 minutesSynopsis: This evening (11/30/23), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we took up the very last mishnah in Chapter 3. This was certainly a weird one, but still led us to some important insights into how we relate to the various subjects we learn and aspire to learn. -----מקורות:אבות ג:כר' עוביה מברטנוראמאירירמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים א:לדMortimer J.
