Perek 4, Mishna 7-16
Pirkei Avos / Part 2

In an echo of the teaching of Hillel regarding the centrality of community, the next series of mishnayos addresses the issues of justice and din Torah. When people fail to put the community first, Chazal warn us, injustice is the inevitable result. Rabbi Wein analyzes the lessons of these mishnayos, summarizing the responsibilities of every type of community member: judge and posek, teacher and scholar, rabbinic leaders and average Jews.
