Pirkei Avot (Ethics of Our Fathers) Parents of children with disabilities and Jewish educators have translated these words of wisdom into practice for they offer important guidelines toward educating children in religious schools.
Again we invoked Pirkei Avot and explained: B'makom sh'ein anashim, hish-tadel lihyot ish--or as my holy partner would say: Even when nobody else is being a mensch, you be the mensch.
For example, the lay leaders at my Solomon Schechter Day School decided this year that they wanted to distribute copies of Pirkei Avot to everyone who attended their big dinner.
