Send me a text!</a>Length: 1 hour 35 minutes Synopsis: Tonight (1/2/25), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we took up an intriguing mishnah about the effects of mitzvos and aveiros. We ended up with two solid interpretations - one that emerged during the shiur, and another based on an article I wrote back in 2012 - as well as a fundamental discourse on reward and punishment according to Rabbeinu Bachya, which we (sadly) didn't have time to fully tie back into our understanding of the mishnah. Definitely a worthwhile learning session, even if we didn't bring it to an elegant close! ----- מקורות: אבות ד:יא רש"י רמב"ם רבינו יונה רבינו בחיי - אבות ד:יא;ב; א:ג Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss, "Angelic Advocates and Accusers" https://kolhaseridim.blogspot.com/2015/07/angelic-advocates-and-accusers.html ----- This week's Torah content has been sponsored l'zecher nishmas Yosef Yoshayahu ben Yechezkel Eliezer, whose yahrzeit is on the 3rd of Teves.
