As part of the Mitzvot Unplugged series we are happy to welcome<\/em> Jennifer from\u00a0 Adventures in MamaLand.<\/a><\/em> She will be talking about teaching Pirkei Avot.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"teaching<\/a>It\u2019s spring\u2026 time to learn Pirkei Avot<\/em>! Traditionally, that\u2019s every Shabbat afternoon between Pesach and Shavuot, one of six chapters per week. Many people keep going until Rosh Hashanah, but that\u2019s generally enough for us \u2013 if, ahem, we make it that far.<\/p>\n

As a parent, I love Pirkei Avot! There\u2019s so much great stuff: from the unbroken chain of Torah tradition to Hillel\u2019s, \u201cIf not now, then when?\u201d and Tarfon\u2019s \u201cIt is not your obligation to complete the task, but neither are you free to desist from it.\u201d Then there\u2019s Ben Zoma\u2019s \u201cWho is wise? One who learns from all people.\u201d This is great stuff. Deep, deep stuff, that I love to mine with kids.<\/p>\n

But I still haven\u2019t found many creative teaching ideas to go along with these great concepts. For some reason, we seem to equate deep<\/i> with difficult<\/i>, though for kids raised on the rules of the kindergarten (fairness, sharing, caring), these kinds of rules won\u2019t sound unusual at all. (You\u2019ll want to edit for age-appropriateness, though!)<\/p>\n

The Jewish Community Centers Association seems to agree. Back in 2001, they got on the \u201cvalues\u201d bandwagon (one of the biggest trends in education) and developed a Pirkei Avot curriculum<\/a> called \u201cAn Ethical Start,\u201d which teaches things like sharing and self-control. Available only to JCC preschools, it includes \u201cbooks, posters, stickers, original songs and a doll\u201d \u2013 and costs $2500 per classroom. That\u2019s a whole lotta doll.<\/p>\n

What goes on here in our house is a lot more humble.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"
\nEvery week, I try to pre-read three short selections. I compare translations in three copies (straight-up Artscroll <\/a>\"\"
\nArtscroll, a Feldheim<\/a> edition with the commentaries of Samson Raphael Hirsch, and the Artscroll \u201cYouth Pirke Avos<\/a>\"\"\u201d, the least literal but most kid-friendly, with its colourful pictures).<\/p>\n

Even working with translations, I want the kids to hear or read the original text. These sources are their mesorah<\/i>; their heritage. One way that the classical homeschooler in me insists that they interact with the text is through copywork.<\/p>\n

Even kids too young to understand can copy parts of original pesukim (verses) from the Torah, Tanach, Tefillah, Pirkei Avot or elsewhere. It\u2019s our job (Pirkei Avot says so!) to immerse ourselves, not just in the ideas, but in the language of Torah and of those who taught it over the millennia.<\/p>\n

Copywork does a few things: exposes our children to the mechanics spelling, grammar and sentence structure; tells them that these texts are ancient and valuable (copying holy texts is an age-old tradition), and gives them a sense of ownership over verses they\u2019ve written themselves. Indeed, the last mitzvah of the 613<\/a> is for each person to write his or her own Torah scroll.<\/p>\n

Two limitations: this isn\u2019t a Shabbat activity, so it takes planning ahead. And I always keep copywork short and light, well within the child\u2019s ability. Two words may be fine, or three, or four, gradually increasing to a full sentence or even, later, a paragraph.<\/p>\n

As a classically-inspired homeschooler, I also believe in great reading. Not just as a fun bonding cuddle-time experience; wonderful books can help reinforce the lessons of Pirkei Avot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"
\nThere\u2019s always a perfect book, whatever level each child is at. For the verse \u201cIt\u2019s not upon you to complete the task,\u201d Barbara Cooney\u2019s Miss Rumphius<\/a><\/em>\"\", with its story of a young girl (later an old woman) who sets out to make the world a better place, is a good pick for young kids. Natalie Carlson\u2019s The Family Under the Bridge<\/a>\"\" <\/em>offers some of the same lessons for older readers (just an example \u2013 please note that this book contains many Christian references).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"
\nFor \u201cWho is rich? Those who are happy with what they have,\u201d Eleonor Estes\u2019 The Hundred Dresses<\/a>\"\" might drive home the message that our possessions don\u2019t make us happy or wealthy (yes, there are a few mentions of Christmas in here, too; this is something we\u2019ve wrestled with for a while, but those answers will be different for every family). In any event, there are tons of booklists online (try searching for \u201ccharacter book list\u201d\u2026 here\u2019s one<\/a>, but there are many more).<\/p>\n

One last thing: Pirkei Avot is about the links from generation to generation \u2013 it has the word \u201cAvot\u201d right in the title. This is a great time of year to spend time with older family members and friends to help understand continuity \u2013 where our Jewishness came from<\/i>. Older people can start conversations and engage in a way that helps kids see them as children, young adults, builders and shapers of history.<\/p>\n

This is hard for me. Too often, I\u2019ll short-circuit my mother\u2019s stories if I\u2019ve heard them often enough. But have my children<\/i> heard them often enough, so they\u2019ll remember them forever? Rabbi Manis Friedman says, \u201cquote your parents to your children.\u201d I try.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s no special time of year for kibbud av v\u2019eim<\/em>, honouring parents. Ideally, we do it all year round. But then, ideally, we remember going out of Egypt all year round, and we still celebrate Pesach to give it a special place on our calendar.<\/p>\n

The specifics vary from year to year with the age of my kids and what else is going on in our lives. But whatever happens, I keep Pirkei Avot<\/em> light. When you\u2019re a homeschooler in a small house with a single table, you run the risk that every activity together can end up feeling a lot like school. We don\u2019t memorize Pirkei Avot<\/em>, and I don\u2019t quiz them on it; we read it together, usually over treats at Seudah Shelishit<\/em>. We sing before and afterwards; I read them other books at the table as well.<\/p>\n

At a lazy time of a year, Pirkei Avot<\/em> is at once a taste of something eternal and serious and a fun way to dip my kids\u2019 toes in the cool, refreshing waters of timeless Jewish values.<\/p>\n

\u201cTurn it, and turn it, for everything is in it.\u201d (Pirkei Avot 5:22)<\/i><\/p>\n
