It is customary to read Pirkei Avot during the summer Shabbats near Mincha prayer. According to Chabad custom (and Ashkenazi communities), the tractate is read on Shabbats from Pesach until Rosh Hashanah. In total, all six chapters of the tractate are recited in four cycles during these weeks. After each chapter, we say the statement of Tanna Rabbi Chananya ben Akashya: "Ratzah HaKadosh Baruch Hu l'zakot et Yisrael, l'fichach hirbah lahem Torah u'mitzvot" (The Holy One, blessed be He, wanted to give merit to Israel, therefore He gave them abundant Torah and mitzvot). | It is customary to read Pirkei Avot during the summer Shabbats near Mincha prayer.
