Episode 6: Rachel and Pirkei Avot: 5:21

Emily is joined by Rachel this week, one of Vanderbilt's newest graduates, to discuss vivacity and Pirkei Avot: 5:21 "He used to say: At five years of age the study of Scripture; At ten the study of Mishnah; At thirteen subject to the commandments; At fifteen the study of Talmud; At eighteen the bridal canopy; At twenty for pursuit [of livelihood]; At thirty the peak of strength; At forty wisdom; At fifty able to give counsel; At sixty old age; At seventy fullness of years; At eighty the age of “strength”; At ninety a bent body; At one hundred, as good as dead and gone completely out of the world."
