In Oros HaTeshuvah (Chapter 3), Rav Kook, zt”l, describes the healing powers of teshuvah: “A Light of acceptance begins to shine. His eyes are filled with a holy fire, his heart is entirely immersed in streams of delight. Holiness and purity hover above him. Infinite love fills his entire being.” It is the light of acceptance that shines from every page of this marvelous and practical manual of return.
Harav Moshe Weinberger
Giving structure to the chaotic terrain of the soul/body relationship, this work offers hope to the hopeless and power to the powerless. To tame the body, to recover its essential foundation hidden under layers of shame and despair, our author leads us down a path of soft healing and irreducible hope.
Rav Joey Rosenfeld
Some books are good reads, some books are enlightening, some books are eye-opening, some books inspire, while some books cause us to reach deep down and cleanse our inner selves. Acceptance is all of the above.
Rav Aryeh Cohen
By reading and internalizing the words of this book, one will become a better version of themselves, find healing and growth, and ultimately live a life that is forward thinking and meaningful.

Backstage. Its the place to go, if you want to know the full story!
- The almanah desperately wanted to honor her late husband with the writing of a Sefer Torah. But with ten yesomim to take care of, it seemed an impossible dream. Until a certain askan took a trip to a cemetery – and things began happening backstage...
- To all who knew her, she was a wonderful, caring, Bais Yaakov girl. But to an overloaded chinuch system she was a “leftover,” the girl no high school could find room for. Until her father took care of some unfinished business -- and things began happening backstage ...
Why do tens of thousands love to read C.B. Weinfeld's stories?
Maybe it's because they fill us with hope, optimism, and emunah. Or because even as they touch our hearts they open our eyes to the wonders of our lives. Perhaps it's the surprise endings, the unexpected twists and turns. And, of course, it's certainly because C.B. Weinfeld tells really great stories.
In Backstage, we'll be taking behind-the-scenes looks at a harried Rebbetzin dealing with a major kiddush where everything that could go wrong ... does. And we'll see how "backstage" nothing could have been better. In these stories, which originally appeared in Yated Neeman or Ami magazine, we'll meet young people in shidduchim, men and women dealing with parnasah or shalom bayis or countless other contemporary challenges with faith and courage. And a special treat: Backstage features a "mini-novelette" based on a true story of a heroic mother's journey through a life-altering medical condition, a story of hope, strength, and tremendous reserves of faith.
As we go "backstage," we will see, with magnificent clarity, how Hashem takes good care of His precious children.
How can we create more positive relationships?
Why is it so hard to get along with some people?
Can I save a soured relationship?
What if only one party is willing to work on a relationship?
Rabbi Aryeh Goldman, a mashpia with years of experience in helping others with their relationships, tackles these questions and more, sharing Torah-based insights in clear and relatable language.
This carefully structured book takes a realistic and honest, as well as optimistic and encouraging approach to the challenges that face us as we try to navigate the sticky but crucial realm of interperson¬al relationships.
Rabbi Goldman digs to the roots of these challenges and shows how we can strengthen our own inner-characters and motivate ourselves to build stronger relationships and achieve real growth in every area of our lives.
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.
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! |

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. |

The Rambam, Moshe Maimonides, was a great doctor as well as a Torah scholar. He understood that germs and viruses only affect bodies that are unhealthy and cannot fight back. When disease attacks body tissues that are saturated with sugar and other poisons, the results can be fatal. Scientists understand that bacteria, viruses, fungi and cancer cells multiply in presence of sugar.
The Rambam guarantees that if we follow his teachings and eat only healthy food in the correct quantities, we will enjoy constant good health throughout our lives, with Divine assistance and mercy.
This inspiring book tells many wonderful stories of people who have transformed their lifestyles and overcome fatal illnesses. By returning to traditional Jewish wisdom, you too can benefit from the Rambam's Jewish wisdom, you too can benefit from the Rambam's guarantee of health and longevity

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.
