Chapter 6, Mishna 1

A series of beautiful wisdom teachings on the intersection of alcohol, good sense, intoxication, fatigue, the evil inclination, good inclination, anger, prayer, Torah study, character and our relationships with God & each other. Finally we return to discussion of our Mishna by asking what happens on Shabbos if a Jewish residence shares a courtyard with a Gentile residence, and both must pass through another Jew’s courtyard to reach the street.
