  • Pirkei Avos Deep Dive: Torah’s Take on Living Your Best Life
    Jun 25 2025

    What do ancient rabbis know about your modern dilemmas? Apparently, a whole lot.

    In this episode of Torah Unboxed Deep Dive, join Rabbi Mendel Groner and Rabbi Mendel Winner as they dive deep into Pirkei Avos, the Jewish manual for ethical living, personal growth, and not acting like a total nudnik. We unpack how the Sages somehow knew exactly what you needed to hear… two thousand years ago.

    It’s like life coaching, but with more beard and less fluff.

    Whether you’re new to Pirkei Avos or you’ve heard it at every Shalosh Seudos since 1996, this conversation will give you fresh insight, a few laughs, and probably a little food for thought too.
