Summary
Date: 190-230 C.E.
Avot (Fathers), better known as Pirkei Avot or the Ethics of the Fathers, is the only tractate of the Mishnah devoted to ethics rather than law. Placed in the fourth order, Nezikin, it collects the maxims and wisdom sayings of the early rabbis and opens with a chain of tradition running from Moses at Sinai down through the sages. It has six chapters, the sixth added after the others.
