General Meeting Program for November
"Wisdom of the Ages"
Pirkei Avot is a wonderful section in the Mishnah, containing the philosophies and ethical statements of many wise rabbis. In this exercise, we will take the beginning of a few of these statements and finish them with our own words of wisdom. Here is an example: Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel said, “I have grown up among sages, but I have never found anything better than . . .” What is better than anything YOU have ever found? Think about how you would answer, and bring your thoughts to share with your sisters, along with some delicious food and warm fellowship, on November 9.
