The teachings of Pirkei Avos are timeless and contain answers to the moral challenges of every generation. The particular application of those messages to the needs of each generation, however, changes according to the times. As such, every generation needs to delve anew into the words of Chazal to discover how to apply the eternal truths of the Torah to the challenges of the day. 

Relevance fulfills this need by showing how each Mishnah pertains to the modern world, revealing Pirkei Avos to be as vibrant and contemporary as if it were written today.
