Lehmann's work of the "Pirke Awoth" (Mischnatraktat from the Talmud) is neither a bare translation nor a simple commentary. It analyses the ethics of Judaism and how they influence the legal and the literary aspects of the Mischna. Rabbi Lehmann is most famous for his commentary on the Passover Hagadah and as the leading exponent of modern orthodoxy as expressed by Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch. Here we have his extensive commentary and interpretation of the most important ethical text of early rabbinic Judaism. Original Text is printed in Hebrew with its German translation, gothic script. In very good condition. vg. Item #12158
