“Commentaries note that the reason the blessing for Torah study is “Blessed is G-d Who gives the Torah” rather than “Who gave the Torah” is because the Torah is eternally present. In Relevance, Rabbi Dan Roth shows us how Pirkei Avos (Ethics of the Fathers) can serve as a behavioral guide in the 21st century. Relevance is a beacon of light in the haze of current moral and ethical confusion.”

Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski

“I couldn’t put it down! Have gone back a second time to highlight! You brought Biblical stories to life, mentioned amazing research resources, and provided inspiration for everyone. It is the kind of book I will certainly purchase as gifts when it is published.”

Dr. Miriam Adahan

“With wit and depth, you have managed to apply the ancient wisdom of Chazal to the everyday challenges of today’s world…. An enjoyable and meaningful book that is a pleasure to read.”

Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

“Beautifully written….to the point….inspiring in every sense of the word.”

Rebbetzin Leah Feldman

“Relevance is the perfect title for Dan Roth’s commentary on Pirkei Avos. With a wealth of sources, an uncanny nose for pertinence and a felicity of style, the reader encounters insightful and impactful lessons from this timeless repository of ethics and advice.”

Rabbi Hanoch Teller

“The book lives up to its title. Living Torah means applying it to our lives....Readers will be inspired to do just that.”

Rabbi Dr. Dovid Gottlieb

“Relevance is a really elevating experience. Everyone should read it and I hope it will see new and expanded editions in future years. It adds a wholly fresh dimension to our understanding of Pirkei Avos, which encourages us to make a serious examination of our behavior and to compare it with the criteria of our great Sages.”
