Moses received the Torah at Sinai and handed it on to Yehoshua; Yehoshua to the elders; the elders to the prophets; and the prophets handed it on to the men of the Great Assembly. They (the men of the Great Assembly) said three things: Be careful in judgment; raise up many disciples; and make a fence for the Torah.

Shimon the Just was one of the last survivors of the Great Assembly. He used to say: On three things the world stands: on the Torah, on divine worship, and on acts of loving-kindness.
Commentary Ethics of the Fathers (Pirkei Avot) is the name given to the tractate of the Mishna that gathers together many of the ethical teachings of the sages. The word Avot may mean “fundamental principles,” however it is more likely to mean “the fathers” of the oral tradition, the teachers of the Mishna and their predecessors. To the five chapters of the Mishna was added a sixth, not itself part of the Mishna but a later addition, similar in style and content. The need for such an addition arose in circles where the custom was to study one chapter each week during the six Shabbatot between Pesah and Shavuot. It is our custom, however, to study Avot from Pesah until the Shabbat before Rosh HaShana.
Commentary The tractate begins by tracing the unbroken continuity of the Oral Law from Moses to the sages. Interestingly, the sages traced their provenance to the prophets rather than the priests, who go unmentioned in the chain of succession.
Commentary The tractate ranges widely over matters of belief and conduct, but its primary concern is to set out values and virtues of a life dedicated to the study and practice of Torah. Its style is aphoristic; its statements brief, epigrammatic, and at times even cryptic. The first two chapters are organized chronologically; chapters three and four are collections of sayings; chapter five records teachings whose common feature is that they are associated with numerical lists; and the sixth is a hymn of praise to the life of Torah and the virtues it requires.
Commentary No finer account exists of the way of life epitomized by the sages, which was quiet, scholarly, profoundly driven by a sense of justice and integrity, skeptical of politics and politicians, and dedicated to the life of the mind and to the spiritual drama of study as the highest connection between the mind of man and the will of God.
Commentary 1:1. The elders: Leaders of the people in the days of the Judges (see Judges 2:7). Men of the Great Assembly: a council of the sages convened by Ezra or shortly thereafter, during the Second Temple period. Make a fence: Rabbinic enactments designed to safeguard Torah observance.
