This week’s teaching comes from Pirkei Avot, also known as Ethics of Our Fathers, a compilation of ethical teachings and maxims from our Sages.

One of the Mishnayot states: “Do not be quick to anger.” In the heat of the moment, it’s easy to react impulsively, sometimes with harsh words or actions we later regret. This teaching reminds us to pause before reacting. Take a deep breath, count to ten, or whatever helps you find a moment of calm. That brief pause can make all the difference.
