Ebook Pirke Aboth

Owing to war-time conditions, it has not been found possible for me to make the alterations which I should have wished to make in the Commentary, nor to correct the proofs of any part of the work. For the latter, and for all the work of preparing the book for the press and bringing it out, I am indebted to Rabbi I. Edward Kiev, to whom I tender my grateful thanks. The Introduction is new, and contains the most important improvement on the previous editions, the result of further study of Aboth. The book is now the best which I could produce under the conditions of the present time. I am grateful to Dr. Wise and the Jewish Institute of Religion Press for undertaking and carrying out the publication of the work, and I hope it may be acceptable to those who will read it.
