| Bitachon. How to get it. How to strengthen it. How to learn to rely on Hashem. In every part of our lives. Bitachon – knowing that you can fully rely on Hashem, and only on Hashem -- is an essential part of our Chovos HaLevavos, our “service of the heart.” It is the wondrous gift that enables us to enjoy the blessing of “menuchas hanefesh” – a hard-to-define concept that includes serenity, tranquility, and peace of mind. Rabbi David Sutton, author of many important works including Beis HaLevi on Bitachon and Embrace Shabbos, shares with us more than 130 readings, designed for the consistent daily use that enables truly effective change. Drawn from the classic wisdom of the Chovos HaLevavos Shaar HaBitachon, these insights into this “service of the heart” are remarkably contemporary, speaking to our own challenges. Each reading ends with a practical takeaway, ensuring that we incorporate bitachon into our everyday encounters. And of course, Rabbi Sutton shares stories that show us the amazing power of bitachon. In these readings we will learn how to reframe our thoughts. We will explore hashgachah pratis. We will see how to properly balance hishtadlus, human effort, with bitachon in Hashem, and how to strengthen our connection to Hashem both in good times and hard ones. Fitness experts say that to keep your heart strong and healthy, you need to do a cardio workout. And you need to do it regularly and consistently. It’s the same with bitachon: To keep your “service of the heart” strong and healthy – you need a daily workout. And that’s what this book gives you: A cardio workout of the spirit! |

Love is of paramount importance in living a fulfilling life, and true love in an adult relationship is something we all strive for. But loving relationships don t just happen. They require time, effort, teamwork, and conscientious attention.
Choosing to Love gets to the heart of the matter. Among its core principles: Love is not just about finding the right person, but being the right person. To a great extent, how you relate to others especially loved ones depends upon how you relate to yourself.
Love begins with becoming a mature, productive, happy individual who is willing to learn and grow.
Choosing to Love develops a deep, distinctively Jewish approach to relationships, exploring such fundamental concepts as modesty, abstinence before marriage, the importance of boundaries, and the value of one s inner self.
The author provides strategies for putting these ideas into practice; chief among them: to tune out the misguided, mass-media messaging that looks at love superficially and unrealistically, and tune in to your own true inner self. If this kind of thinking resonates with you, and if you re willing to take on the challenge of an authentic, loving relationship, then Choosing to Love is the book for you.
Noted author Gila Manolson is a teacher and popular lecturer. Her other important titles dealing with human relationships include Head to Heart,Outside Inside, and The Magic Touch.

Do you Know that we are already at the Keitz Megulah?'" -excerpt from Chapter 28, The End Illuminated What exactly is the Keitz Megulah (lit.

| Did you know that you can sometimes find angels (well, human angels) in a beachfront restaurant? Would you believe that from the the ruins of the building in Surfside could come an unbelievable story of kavod haTorah? Have you ever really understood the remarkable miracle of Danish Jewry’s escape from the Nazis? In The Grandeur of the Maggid, Rabbi Paysach Krohn’s tenth collection of inspiring stories, the “American Maggid” outdoes himself, bringing us true stories that elevate as they entertain, that illuminate as they inspire. He finds the grandeur in the lives of ordinary Jews – because he knows there is no such thing as an “ordinary” Jew! And, of course, he finds the grandeur in the lives and deeds of our Torah and communal leaders, with absorbing biographical sketches of Rav Chaim Kanievsky, Rav Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg, Rav Nota Greenblatt, Rav Moshe Neuman zecher tzaddikim liverachah . Describing his mentor, Rav Sholom Schwadron – the famed and beloved “Maggid of Jerusalem” -- Rabbi Krohn says: “He could make people cry and make them laugh, but more than anything else, he made them listen. And afterward, people would walk away saying, ‘He was talking to me.’” That was true then, in the holy, winding streets of Yerushalayim. And it is true now as well, in our lives, as “The American Maggid” makes us cry and laugh – and as he talks to our very souls. |

This year, invite Elijah the Prophet to your Pesach seder.
A man in white... A stranger at the Kotel... A mysterious doctor... A life-saving dream...
In a moment of need, a stranger appears, offers help, and then disappears, as if by magic. These are encounters with Elijah the Prophet, who, in the Jewish tradition, never died, but still roams the world, helping, teaching, and admonishing people. Meeting Elijah is a collection of amazing real-life encounters with Elijah - Eliyahu Hanavi - heard directly from the people involved or close friends and relatives. In other stories, we see how the "Spirit of Elijah" can move in and through people, bringing them to the right place at the right time, in order to help and deliver others, even without their own awareness. In all cases, these stories reveal the remarkable level of Divine providence that we can experience in our lives, at any moment and in any place

How much does our perception of God really matter? Many of us aren't conscious of our image of a "higher power."

David Aaron can help you discover a mature, new understanding of God and lead you to discover the wellspring of Divinity within you. By drawing on teachings of Kabbalah that were secret for millennia, he helps you to reclaim the power you've given away to negative images of God or passive images of yourself.

An unflinching look at the most urgent humanitarian crises around the globe, from one of the world's most daring philosopher-reporters "Fierce and elegant, Lévy's musings will be of profound interest to any reader of modern continental philosophy."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review Over the past fifty years, renowned public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy has reported extensively on human rights abuses around the world. This new book follows the intrepid Lévy into eight international hotspots--in Nigeria; Syrian and Iraqi Kurdistan; Ukraine; Somalia; Bangladesh; Lesbos, Greece; Libya; and Afghanistan--that have escaped global attention or active response. In a deeply personal introduction, Lévy recounts the intellectual journey that led him to advocacy, arguing that a truly humanist philosophy must necessarily lead to action in defense of the most vulnerable. In the second section, he reports on the eight investigative trips he undertook just before or during the coronavirus pandemic, from the massacred Christian villages in Nigeria to a dangerously fragile Afghanistan on the eve of the Taliban talks, from an anti-Semitic ambush in Libya to the overrun refugee camp on the island of Lesbos. Part manifesto, part missives from the field, this new book is a stirring rebuke to indifference and an exhortation to level our gaze at those most hidden from us.
Come and hear Yemima Mizrachi speak.
She'll energize you. She'll awaken you to the wondrous potential within you. She'll make you laugh, and cry, and change.
And she'll do it all through the power of Torah.
Based on her incredibly popular classes, and sensitively adapted by Shiffy Friedman, Yemima Mizrachi Speaks perfectly captures the beloved voice of the woman who has become a worldwide phenomenon.
Yemima Mizrachi's range of Torah sources is absolutely extraordinary - and so is her understanding of the world around us, the challenges we face, the strengths we have (even those we don't know about!) the weaknesses that we can also put to good use.
Women grappling with daunting problems will learn from Sarah Imeinu how to live a "double life" dealing with struggle while choosing to be happy. Waiting for geulah? The first phase of redemption, the Rabbanit shows us, is to accept and understand the depth of Hashem's love for us - that was true in Pharaoh's Egypt, and it is just as true now. To understand how to teach our children effectively, the Rabbanit goes to the Master Teacher of the Jewish People, Moshe Rabbeinu.
As you read through these pages, you will revel in the Rabbanit's piercing vision into our hearts and minds, and her profound understanding of the Torah's messages to us. You will learn to better appreciate and love your family, your neighbors, your fellow Jews - and the woman who smiles back at you when you look in a mirror.
If you're one of the tens of thousands of women who have been inspired by Yemima Mizrachi, you will be thrilled to have her words at your fingertips. And if you've never heard her... prepare to take an unforgettable journey into life, with the Torah as your guidebook and Yemima Mizrachi as your laughing, loving guide.
