Join world-renowned teacher and scholar, Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, every Sunday for a short Torah insight.
This week, Rabbi Steinsaltz gives some context to the time period in which this Mishna was said, and then describes the way that the sages instruct one to treat Torah scholars who are guests in one's home.
![Chapter 1, Mishna 1:
Moshe received the Torah from Sinai and passed it on to Yehoshua; Yehoshua to the Elders; the Elders to the Prophets; and the Prophets passed it on to the Men of the Great Assembly. They [the Men of the Great Assembly] said three things: Be deliberate in judgment; raise up many disciples; and make a fence around the Torah.](https://www.staging.torahcafe.com/uploads/thumbs/190x105/45f70db7c.jpg)
