It is a Jewish custom to study the text of 'Ethics of the Fathers' from the Mishnah on long summer Saturday afternoons. It is great insight into some traditional history and culture of the Jews.

Thank you, Mishna is interesting.

One stray thought among many: this is the first time I have seen a Jewish reference to "purgatory." Could you tell me (in simple terms!) that it means?
