Prayer of Protection: The Soul and Stories of Yosheiv Be’Seiser
The Prayer That Jews Turn to in Times of Challenge: The Power and Majesty of Yosheiv BeSeiser
The Midrash tells us that Tehillim 91, Yosheiv BeSeiser, was composed by Moshe Rabbeinu as a prayer of protection. It is a lyrical and moving declaration of Hashem’s care and compassion for us and of our deep trust in Him. It has traditionally been recited by Jews during times of danger and distress. This beloved chapter of Tehillim is about emunah and bitachon. It’s about Hashem’s protection in times of trouble. It’s about knowing — not just believing, but really knowing — that our fate is entirely in Hashem’s compassionate and loving Hands.
It’s about our lives.
Bestselling author Rabbi Yechiel Spero gives us a new understanding of Yosheiv BeSeiser through his fascinating commentary and dozens of inspiring and unusual stories. This beautiful work opens our eyes and we see Hashem’s protective Arms around us, a Father shielding His children — and we are no longer afraid.
Tefillah (prayer) is a miraculous power each of us has, yet most of us use only a fraction of its potential. Through the gift of tefillah, Hashem places in our hands the key to the Heavenly storehouse of blessing, and gives us the precise words that can release these treasures into our lives. And what treasures they are! Our health, our ability to find a spouse and build a Jewish home, our success in raising our children, our safety, security, livelihood. Everything.

When the going gets tough, the tough ... start praying. I'm just an ordinary person. Why should Hashem listen to my prayers? Why do prayers sometimes go unanswered? How can I "face time" with Hashem? How should I pray? When should I pray? And most important - why should I pray? Let's face it: Life isn't always simple, even (especially?) For teens. But whatever is going on in your life - problems at school, challenges at home, complications with friends, or just an "I-woke-up-feeling-horrible" day - Hashem has given us a no-fail way to deal. It's called tefillah, prayer. With its short, relatable daily readings, stories to illustrate every point, and brief summaries at the end of each reading, Praying With Fire for Teens shows teenagers (their parents, too!) How to pray effectively, with focus, concentration,

Praying with Fire (volumes 1 and 2) began a "tefillah revolution"  ”for tens of thousands whose prayers were immeasurably enriched by its potent insights and powerful strategies. Now Rabbi Heshy Kleinman turns his brilliant understanding of tefillah to the actual prayers themselves.
Beginning with the first words a Jew says every morning - Modeh Ani - and moving throughout the prayers we recite each day, Rabbi Kleinman brings his trademark combination of scholarship and spirituality to the words of tefillah. Like a master jeweler displaying a precious gem, he shows us the many sparkling facets of our prayer's holy words.
Praying with Meaning looks at the simple meaning of specific words in the tefillah, followed by an examination of the prayer's essential concepts. Then, with his genius for transforming lofty spiritual truths into practical action, the author guides us into visualizing images and finding strategies to bring these concepts into our daily routine. He weaves stories and parables to make clearer to us what the prayers are referring to, and shares important halachic information on each prayer.
Praying with Fire showed us the vital importance of tefillah. Now - isn't it time to understand what we're saying?
Prepare My Prayer: Recipes to Awaken the Soul
Product Description |
Imagine ... davening with Rav Chaim Kanievsky at your side If you ever merited to see Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt’l praying, you felt your own tefillos, your prayers, grow more fervent, more heart-filled, more real. We can no longer see his face shining with holiness - but we can still be inspired, both by his own insights into the words of the Siddur and related stories about Rav Chaim and his illustrious family. Rav Chaim on Tefillah, which was prepared for print right before his passing, includes insights on the words and themes of the Shabbos prayers shared directly by Rav Chaim and collected from his extensive writings, as well as dozens of stories about Rav Chaim, his beloved wife Rebbetzin Kanievsky, and his illustrious family. Compiled by Rabbi Shai Graucher, who was an almost-daily visitor to R’ Chaim’s home, this is a work that will bring your davening to a whole new level. |
Rav Yisroel Meir Druck, son of the famed "Maggid Meisharim" of Yerushalayim and a noted Torah scholar and popular speaker, brings our understanding of the Yom Kippur machzor to a whole new level. His insights, firmly based on a large variety of classic Torah sources, are brief, readable, and very, very intriguing.
Rav Druck on Machzor offers us a new clarity on concepts such as Hashem's Kingship, mercy and judgement, the simanim of the holiday, the power of prayer, and so many more. Read it before the holiday, or take it with you to shul - your tefilos will never be the same!
Reach Higher. Do More. Be Greater. Just like the people in this book!
Rabbi Binyomin Pruzansky wants you to meet some great people:
• The taxi driver who gave away his day’s earnings instead of collecting his fare.
• The family with 8 children who knew they might be homeless by tomorrow but never gave up hope.
• The man who sang and danced with joy in every room of his house, every single Motzei Shabbos - for forty years!
In this new collection of stories, we’ll read about people who never give up. Who reach higher, much higher, than they believed possible. We’ll read about them ... and we’ll learn from them ... and we’ll be inspired to reach higher in our own lives, just like they did.

Written by Rav Yeshaya HaLevi Ish Horowitz -- the SheLah HaKadosh – Tefillas HaShelah is the prayer recited by generations of parents, asking Hashem for righteous and successful children. It is traditionally recited on Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan, while others choose to say it more frequently, with some reciting it every day.
Though written more than 400 years ago the words of the tefillah are timeless, speaking to the yearnings and hopes of every parent in every era. Even more: Tefillas HaShelah serves as a guide to the most effective way to pray for our children – and, yes, to pray for ourselves. Drawing upon both classic commentaries and fascinating true stories, bestselling author Yisroel Besser discovers the eternal messages in the tefillah.
This is a book for parents, for those who dream of becoming parents, and for anyone who hopes to create an impact on future generations. The stories (and there are so many of them!) will touch our hearts. The insights will change our lives.
This book is devoted to Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's discussions on the practice of prayer. Prayer is analyzed across a broad and complex spectrum in Soloveitchik's work, and his writings describing and analyzing the experience of prayer afford a profound insight into its diversity, ranging from existential crisis to communion with God.
Through a careful reading of R. Soloveitchik's texts dealing with this topic, the book follows the consciousness of prayer across its various stages until maturity, starting with an analysis of Worship of the Heart, through to Reflections on the Amidah and other writings.
The Musaf prayer is considered a highlight of the Shabbos davening, yet its significance is underappreciated, and the depth of meaning that lies in and between its lines, on even a simple p’shat level, is easily overlooked.
This familiar Shabbos Shemoneh Esreh abounds with a host of intriguing questions, which are explored by Rav Elchanan Adler in this erudite work. Geared toward the scholar and layperson alike, this sefer is a boon for anyone interested in gaining greater understanding and appreciation for the Musaf prayer.
Also included is a brief overview of the Korban Musaf and its relationship to the Musaf prayer.
“This sefer is sweet and utterly delightful, its priceless insights organized with clarity, in good taste, and with sophisticated appeal.”
Rav Asher Weiss, Machon Minchas Osher L’torah V’horaah, Yerushalayim
“I perused the sefer that you honored me with; it is a vessel containing blessing, full and overflowing…”
Rav Avigdor Nebenzahl, Chief Rabbi of the Old City of Yerushalayim
