משנה מסכת אבות פרק א
משנה טז רבן גמליאל אומר עשה לך רב והסתלק מן הספק ואל תרבה לעשר אומדות
Rabban Gamliel would say: Make for yourself a Rav (teacher), and remove yourself from doubt, and do not make a habit of tithing by estimate. [Translation by CAJE]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. Why does Rabban Gamliel tell us to make for ourselves a Rav?
2. What does it mean to remove ourselves from doubt?
3. Tithing is a mandatory means of contributing a portion of your produce to support your community (like taxes). Why is it important that we not get in the habit of estimating our portion?
Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
