Rabbi Bellino's class in Avot d'Rabbi Natan continues. This text is a commentary and elaboration on Pirkei Avot that was compiled during the Geonic Period.

All source sheets (including Rabbi Bellino's notes) may be downloaded here.

Sixth Street Community Synagogue
We like to think we're different. Everyone from the traditionally Orthodox to the occasionally observant feels at home here - 365 days a year. We hope you do too.
Our historic and beautiful building, our thoughtful programming, and our welcoming atmosphere are possible only with the annual support of our community.
Thank you for sharing in our great legacy and for helping us to continue our impressive revitalization.
The Downtown Eruv
Our Eruv has dramatically improved our Shabbat experience and observance. It has helped our synagogues and institutions to build larger and more dedicated communities.
