Avos 4:15 - Greetings, Lion Tails, and Fox Heads

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 48 minutesSynopsis: This evening (9/11/25), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we learned the next mishnah in our chapter. This one was more practical, more approachable, and less metaphysical than the last. After raising a ton of questions, we learned the explanations of three commentaries: Rambam, Meiri, and Sforno. I believe we did justice to each one and learned ideas that are relevant to our lives, especially those of us who are teachers and students!-----מקורות:אבות ד:טורבינו יונה - משלי א:כברמב"םרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תלמוד תורה ה:ד,יגר' שילת - ביאור לפירוש רמב"ם למשנהרש"י - משלי א:המאירירמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה ה:יאספורנומשלי טו:לג-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.
