Welcome back, dear listeners. Let’s delve into the wisdom of our ancestors with a thought-provoking teaching from Pirkei Avot.

The Ethics of Our Fathers teaches “Do not be like servants who serve a master for the sake of receiving a reward, rather be like servants who serve a master not for the sake of receiving a reward” (Avot 1:12). This timeless wisdom isn’t just about our relationship with the divine, but about our approach to life itself. Are we driven by external validation, by the “what’s in it for me?” Or do we act with integrity and purpose, finding joy in the journey itself?  This week, let’s examine our motivations, finding fulfillment in the act itself.
