Orchot Tzaddikim: The Ways of the Righteous

Orchot Tzaddikim is a book on Jewish ethics written in Germany in the 15th century, entitled Sefer ha-Middot by the author, but called Orḥot Ẓaddiḳim by a later copyist. Composed by an unknown author, Orchot Tzaddikim, has been a great favorite for five centuries. This spiritual treasure, studied and cherished in the East European Yeshivot, is still part of the daily curriculum of many Israeli and American schools. Part of a rich heritage of ethical literature "The Ways of the Righteous" hopes to sensitize man and to bring sanctity and delicacy into life. Examining this classic of Jewish morality gives us a clear insight into a significant intellectual force which shapes Jewish character. This edition is written in both Hebrew and English.
