Item Description:

Pirkei Avos advises that the study of Mishnah should begin at 10 and the study of Talmud at 15, but that’s not the way it’s done today. Yeshivas start their students on Talmud much younger, so the Mishnah does not really get the attention it’s due. Yet Rabbi Wein asserts that anyone who studies it can develop into a scholar. Best of all, you'll become acquainted with the giants who wrote it: Rebbe Akiva, Rebbe Meir, and above all, Rabbi Yehuda Ha Nassi.
