Visions of the Fathers

Rambam points out that it is possible to technically observe all 613 precepts of the Torah that are the building blocks for the structure of a Jewish life, yet be devoid of spirituality. In the tractate of Pirkei Avos the Talmudic sages provide the principles of spirituality and character refinement that Torah requires. Dr. Twerski weaves his Torah wisdom, his chassidic heritage, and his psychologic acumen to give Pirkei Avos a comprehensive perspective. <P>Enjoyable reading, provocative ideas, enticing stories, sound insights, acute observations - it's all here in the inimitable Twerski manner.
