This is the first commentary I read from this author, but I'll probably read the others as well. I wanted to read it and finish it be ween Pesach and Shavuot, but the last Shabbat we as a busy and difficult one and I didn't have the energy to finish it. Better late than never.

thereadingpal I find Rabbi Yanklowitz knows the subjects of his various opinions well, and he uses other Jewish texts and Rabbis opinions from different backgrounds to show the diversity and yet similarity of Jewish thought and (social) justice. 2d
thereadingpal As Jews we are called to action to tikkun olam, and Pirkei Avot is no different, but it's also much more. Our sages explore our relationship with ourselves, others, and HaShem, and how we must tend to and thread through the world to make sure to repair what's broken and make justice shine. 2d

I had a few busy and filled days (including a very long shabbat with a group of people and a headache that made me go away earlier than the others) so I couldn't finish the 4th book by the end of Shabbat. I managed to finish it today - and I really like the commentary. He brings the voices of our sages to our contemporary world in an understandable and very Jewish way, making us understand that tikkun olam must be every day with our daily actions

It is customary to read Pirkei Avot during the Shabbatot between Pesach and Shavuot.
This week we're reading chapter 2, and I'm finding the commentary in this version extremely interesting.
