• L'hébreu mishnaïque ou mishnique (…) représente la langue quotidienne que les Juifs de Palestine parlaient depuis le IVesiècle avant notre ère et dont ils ne devaient cesser de faire usage, concurremment à l'araméen, qu'après la ruine définitive de l'État national en 135 (…). L'œuvre principale qui en fait usage et qui lui donne son nom est la compilation de la Mishna (IIe siècle de notre ère)

• Sur le plan spirituel, le poisson est aussi un animal qui est considéré comme capable d’élever notre côté spirituel contre le matériel ainsi que nous l’enseigne la mishna beroura (orah hayim) qui conseille de consommer aux trois repas shabbatiques du poisson plutôt que de la viande.

• This mishna is a continuation of the previous. The previous mishna began a list of seven types of punishments for various transgressions and enumerated the first three. This mishna continues with the remaining four punishments. As we will continue to see, G-d does not merely punish; He instructs. G-d, in His infinite wisdom, punishes in such a way as to reveal the true nature of the evil perpetrated, truly instructing and admonishing us to mend our ways.

• This week’s mishna parallels the previous. Both mishnas list ten generations which were fraught with wickedness and which culminated in a righteous man. Last week’s mishna discussed the ten generations from Adam till Noah while this week’s the ten from Noah till Abraham.

• This week’s mishna contains many important and fascinating ideas, yet it conveys a single, powerful overriding message. I would like to focus more on the central theme than on the many details. This is one of those mishnas — and Pirkei Avos has many — that deserves a series of its own. Yet we’ll attempt to learn what we can in the space of two weeks and move on, hopefully at least somewhat enriched.

• This week’s mishna provides us with an important understanding of the nature of both this world and the next. It also serves as a continuation of last week’s mishna, also authored by R. Yaakov. Last week we learned that this world is the entrance chamber and the World to Come is the banquet hall. This mishna deepens our understanding of these concepts and enables us to recognize the greatness of each world in its own unique way.

• This mishna continues the theme of the previous. Its message is that a judge should not be so sure of his abilities that he renders decisions on his own or urges other judges to accept his position.
