The awesome power of a new beginning..
Moadei Hashanah Elul and Rosh Hashanah is based on eloquent lectures delivered by Rav Shimshon Dovid Pincus in which he brings out the deeper meaning and proper approach to these vital days. This is the seventh of his many Hebrew books to be made available to the English-speaking public. A world-renowned speaker, Rav Pincus educated and influenced audiences across the Jewish spectrum. Torah Jews throughout Israel and the Diaspora flocked to hear him speak because he had the ability to impart to them new worlds of understanding in Torah and mitzvos. He touched their hearts and changed their lives in an unparalleled way.
In this volume, Rav Pincus shows us the awesome power of these special days on which we, and indeed the whole world, stand in judgment and are created anew. He opens our eyes to the infinite outpouring of Divine mercy that flows down to us at this time. In practical terms, he explains how to utilize all this in order to effect a profound and lasting change in our lives. Rav Pincus greatest insights into Elul and Rosh Hashanah are concentrated in this fundamental work. This appealing translation will delight both scholars and laymen alike with its genius and wit, along with its heartfelt messages.
Teshuvah is one of the most important mitzvos for all the Jewish people, yet many of us avoid it or feel uncomfortable with the process because we don't understand it fully.
Rabbi Wegbreit, the Mashgiach of Yeshivas Bircas HaTorah, has taken one of the classics on the subject - Rabbeinu Yonah's Shaarei Teshuvah - and has made it accessible and appealing to our generation by showing us how we can reconnect and rebuild our relationship with Hashem.

A Modern Torah Classic, Finally Available in English!
Rav Aharon Kotler called Rav Gedaliah Schorr “the first American gadol.” Rav Meir Shapiro, founder of Yeshiva Chachmei Lublin and initiator of Daf Yomi, said that Gedaliah Schorr was the most brilliant young talmid chacham he met in America -- and one of the most brilliant in the world.
As Rosh Yeshivah of Torah Vodaath and Beis Medrash Elyon, Rav Schorr nurtured generations of talmidei chachamim, many of whom shaped today’s Torah world in America and Eretz Yisrael.
Rav Schorr’s masterwork, Ohr Gedalyahu, is a basic text of gedolim and talmidim alike. Now, for the first time, this modern Torah classic is available in English! Brilliantly rendered by Rabbi Aryeh Gibber, this is a volume that will elevate and electrify anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of the holiest days on our calendar.
A classic in Hebrew. Now a classic in English. This is a volume that will endure for generations!
Reimagining Repentance is unique in its attempt to bridge Torah content on the High Holidays with modern psychological theory about change. The book reviews the major themes of each part of the High Holidays and explores psychological principles related to each theme. The text contains clinical anecdotes weaved with Torah ideas and will be both a meaningful and enjoyable read for anyone wishing for a psychological perspective on the High Holidays. Excerpts from theoretical sessions with patients seeking help with drug or alcohol use disorders make the book more relatable and highlight the intersection between addiction treatment and Jewish philosophy. Reimagining Repentance shows that the messages and rituals of the High Holidays are the behaviors and ideas needed to create personal spiritual growth. The first chapter of the book provides a summary of the various psychological therapeutic approaches that will be discussed in the book. The following chapters each contain a concept from modern psychological principles, reflected in the ancient wisdom of the traditions of the day. Through Slichot we discover the concept of “self as context,” or allowing ourselves to connect with the part of ourselves that is unchanging regardless of our experiences. The shofar will teach us to relate to our negative thoughts in a new way. We will learn to accept negative emotions through the viduy or “confession” of Yom Kippur. Finally, on Succot we will experience the value of mindful, goal-oriented action. A must-read to enhance the High Holiday season! "A new and refreshing look into the annual Jewish period of repentance, renewed commitments, and joy” – Rabbi Herschel Reichman, Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary "A masterful integration of psychological and Jewish wisdom" – Esther East, LCSW & Co-Founder of Project SARAH "A roadmap that breathes new life into the High Holiday experience" – Yehoshua November, poet and LA Times Book Prize Finalist

and much more!
Also included are the laws and texts for candle lighting, Kiddush, the shehecheyanu blessing and bentching, plus a Hebrew collective commentary on Mishnayos Rosh Hashanah. May this work enrich your Rosh Hashanah table and bring you even closer to Hashem on the Yom HaDin.

Take Rabbi Paysach Krohn with you Rabbi Paysach Krohn has been inspiring us for close to four decades, through his brilliant speeches and his beloved, bestselling books. Now, the famed “American Maggid” shows us how to take advantage of the infinite spiritual opportunities in the days between Rosh Chodesh Elul and Yom Kippur. In Yamim Noraim with the Maggid, Rabbi Krohn shares brief but powerful ideas culled from a large variety of Torah sources. And, of course, he brings those ideas to life through stories and parables told in his inimitable style. • An Israeli Air Force pilot fights to keep his plane from crashing ... and learns a lesson in emunah. • Why did the famed Ronnie Greenwald buy an extra bus ticket every week ... and what can we all learn from his actions? • How did the words “I’m sorry” lead to a wonderful shidduch? Yamim Noraim with the Maggid includes fascinating insights into the month of Elul, Selichos, Rosh Hashanah, Tzom Gedaliah, Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, and Yom Kippur, as well as commentary on select portions of the Machzor. In generations past, maggidim traveled from place to place during this period, inspiring listeners to higher spiritual accomplishment. Like those maggidim of old, in Yamim Noraim with the Maggid Rabbi Krohn guides us, filling us with hope for the blessings of a new year and confidence in our power to return to Hashem and realize our vast potential for greatness. |
