Avos 3:2 - Davening for the Peace of the Government

Machshavah Lab
Avos 3:2 - Davening for the Peace of the Government
Show Notes

This evening (10/27/22), in our Thursday Night Pirkei Avos shiur, we took up the next mishnah in chapter 3. If you were to take a poll of Americans at any time in recent history and ask them how they'd feel about davening for the government, it's likely that half of them wouldn't be so keen on doing so, and a percentage of that half would downright refuse. Yet, the mishnah in Avos seems to be saying that we should ALWAYS daven for the government. Why? Listen and find out!
