4/14/2024 0 Comments How many lives is 3 crowns![]() ![]() “Rabbi Shimon says, ‘There are three crowns: The crown of Torah, the crown of kehuna (priesthood), and the crown of Kingship but the crown of a good name rises above all of them.’” Your quote is found in Pirkei Avos (Chapters of Our Fathers) 4:17 (in some editions it’s 4:13-the order and text are exactly the same in all editions-they just sometimes break up chapters into more or less sub-sections). I have also heard that there is another crown that refers to one’s good name and how they live life with the family.Ĭan you expand on this, and perhaps clear up my cloudy recollections? Where does the teaching about these crowns come from? Although I do not recall exactly what each of them are, my vague recollection is that they refer to royalty, wealth, and the study of Torah. Questions: I remember hearing Jewish teachings regarding 3 crowns that a man can wear during a lifetime.
