Chief Rabbi Endorses Kehot Pikei Avot

Chief Rabbi of Great Britain, Rabbi Dr. Lord Jonathan Sacks, has issued a glowing review of the Pirkei Avot with Commentary, recently release by Kehot Publication Society, the Chabad-Lubavitch publishing house.

In his review Rabbi Sacks writes:

“The Pirkei Avot with Commentary elegantly produced by Kehot Publication Society is an invaluable addition to the library of Jewish scholarship. This volume has succeeded in presenting some of the deepest profundities of Torah thought, judiciously selected from a broad range of commentaries, in a succinct and accessible manner. The biographical sketches of the Sages featured in Avot, in addition to the unique insights gleaned from the teachings of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, will immeasurably enhance the reader’s appreciation of this timeless tractate.

—Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks”

Officials at Kehot report brisk sales of the beautiful, luxurious volume currently in its second printing.

The Pirkei Avot is available at your local Jewish bookstore, or directly from the publisher at: www.kehot.com

    I have given this volume as a gift to many non-Lubavitchers, frum and not, all love it. It is a big kidush Hashem, everyone is so impressed with the physical look and feel of the book and of course the content, which is appropriate for beginnners or even more advanced. There is something there for everyone. I hope we will see more books like this from Kehos and Sichos in English.

  • to spell check

    there are no spelling errors…if you’re referring to the word chief, you’ll notice that there is an ‘h’ between the ‘c’ and ‘i’, and that makes all the difference.
