  Pirkei Avoth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pirkei Avoth (Hebrew: Chapters of the Fathers, פרקי אבות) or simply Avoth is a tractate of the Mishna composed of ethical maxims of the Rabbis of the Mishnaic period.
In liturgical use, and in most printed editions of Avoth, a sixth chapter, Kinyan Torah ("Acquisition of Torah") is added; this is in fact the eighth (in the Vilna edition) chapter of tractate Kallah, one of the minor tractates.
Although Avoth does not have an accompanying Gemara, one of the minor tractates of the Talmud, Avoth deRabbi Nathan ("The Fathers according to Rabbi Nathan"), is an expansion of the Mishnaic tractate containing numerous additional ethical teachings and legends.

Judaism.com - Torah Anthology Avoth Yalkut Me'am Lo'ez Pirkei Avot By: Yitzchak Magriso
Avoth (Pirkei Avot - The Ethics of the Fathers) is the one Talmudic tract that explores the very roots of Judaism.
Of all the many commentaries written on Avoth, perhaps the clearest is that written over 300 years ago by Rabbi Yitzchak Magriso (D. 1687) as part of the famed Me'am Lo'ez series.

 The Bookends of Avos - "All of Israel Shares in the World to Come"
Avoth recommends a higher ethic only for those who voluntarily choose a path of self-improvement.
Avoth's opening statement is actually a cautionary warning.
It reminds us that "All of Israel," every Jew, whether or not he chooses to follow the Avoth recommendations, is righteous and fully deserving of a share in the World-to-Come.

 Torah im Derech Eretz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase Torah im Derech Eretz is first found in the Mishna in Tractate Avoth (2:2): "Beautiful is the study of Torah with derech eretz, as involvement with both makes one forget sin".
The term derech eretz, literally "the way of the land", is inherently ambiguous, with a wide range of meanings in Rabbinic literature, referring to earning a livelihood and behaving appropriately, among others.
Here, Maharal comments on a later Mishna, Avoth 3:20 (see Derech Chaim ad loc), which discusses the interdependence of "Torah and flour (kemakh)" as well as the interdependence of "Torah and Derech Eretz".

 Hillel, Shammai and the 3 Converts
The tractate of Avoth is an integral part of the Talmud.
Avoth assumes a deeper and richer dimension when related to Talmudic issues elsewhere.
This also explains the Mishna (Avoth 5:25): "Ben Bag Bag says: Turn it and Turn it, for all is in it." The commentaries explain this name BG as an acrostic of "Ben Ger,' a mysterious convert whose name was omitted to protect him from Roman persecution.

This position reflects both Maimonides' insistence that kavvana is a ne cessary condition for all prayer, as well as his relative willingness to let the individual decide on his own level of devotional ability.
In order to strengthen the Jewish public's acceptance of the Rabbis' authority, as stemming from Moses and the divine relation to him, they introduced the recital of "Avoth" during the intermission between the sabbath afternoon and the after-Sabbath night-time services in the synagogue.
"Avoth" opens with the statement that Moses received the Torah at Sinai, and continues to describe the chain of tradition which led to the Talmudic scholars.

In Avoth deRabbi Nathan we find that his son died, and his five disciples came to comfort him, but he was not appeased but by R. Eleazar ben Arach, as his son was very wise and sinless, and he was redeemed in due course.
In the Avoth deRabbi Nathan, in Mishna of Joseph ben Joezer the whole story is explicated.
As for the general rule, I do not know whether he was a priest, Rabbi Ishmael, a colleague of Rabbi Akiba, and a friend of Ben Nanas, since the Rabbi did not mention him, and this Rabbi Ishmael is frequently mentioned in the Mishna and in Baraitha.

 Breslov—Judaism with Heart
For `the bold-faced will go to hell' (Avoth 5:25) and Abraham preferred exile rather than hell as the punishment for the sins of the Jewish people.
This is the quality the sages referred to when they said, `Be bold as a leopard' (Avoth 5:24).
The people who oppose those who are truly righteous and who put every kind of obstacle in their way have a brazen arrogance which is `royalty without a crown.' Whoever chooses life and truth needs the other kind of forcefulness in order to overcome these obstacles.

Rabbi Simeon Doran wrote in the third part of ‘Magen Avoth’, in the fourth chapter, as I have written, that the wife of his son Alexander was a sister of Simeon ben Shetach.
Although Hagigah and Avoth state, that the Mishna is in accordance with Rabbi Meir, it means only that an anonymous Mishna is attributed to Rabbi Meir.
In the third chapter of Magen Avoth concerning the dream, Rabbi Doran says that it is against the nature, (unless it is a miracle) that a man should sleep for seventy years, but since his body heat would cool, he wouldn’t be worn by time.

Hillel here may be addressing his three converts still taking Hebrew lessons, still insisting on the Written Law, and still standing on a single phrase.
This also explains the Mishna (Avoth 5:25): "Ben Bag Bag says: Turn it and turn it, for all is in it." The unusual name “Bag” is an acrostic 'Ben Ger,' a convert; a pseudonym to protect him from Roman persecution.
In contrast to the Talmud’s Aramaic vernacular, Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi edited the Mishnah in a classic and refined Hebrew (Rambam Terumos).

I will also try to provide the location for each of the sources he brings.
One very important assumption that the Maharal posits in all teachings of the Rabbis, and which is even more fundamental when studying Pirkei Avoth.
So we shouldn't mistake Pirkei Avoth for a Rabbinical version of "Poor Richard's Almanac." This perspective helps understand how and why the Maharal goes below the surface of the text in trying to understand the words of the authors of Pirkei Avoth.

Indeed, if the purpose of saying it is to make sure that latecomers don't go home by themselves why not have a similar procedure on Saturday night for the latecomers.
In passing I wonder if people have heard other reasons why VIHI NOAM is said Saturday night.
