Pirkei Avot is unique in that it is the only tractate of the Mishnah dealing solely with ethical and moral principles; there is little or no halacha found in Pirkei Avot.lthough Avot does not have an accompanying Gemara, one of the minor tractates of the Talmud, Avot deRabbi Nathan (The Fathers according to Rabbi Nathan), is an expansion of the Mishnaic tractate containing numerous additional ethical teachings and legends.
Literary Context. Given the popularity of Pirkei Avot, we may easily come to think of it as a sui generis work with little connection to any other Jewish text. But Pirkei Avot is, in fact, part of the Mishnah, the first text of the Jewish oral law.he aphorisms that make up the text of Pirkei Avot range in topic from the ethics of everyday human interaction, to advice for sages and aspiring sages, to statements about the relationship of God and humanity.
