  1. A Comprehensive Torah-Based Guide To A Happy And Well-Balanced Marriage

    The Dos and Don’ts of Staying Happily Married gives couples the proper keys to achieving happiness throughout their married lives. Proper hadrachah is the first step to a successful marriage. Entering marriage without it is like trying your luck to repair a complicated electronic device. You could be lucky and connect the right wires to make it work, but making a slight mistake could ruin the entire device.

    In this essential book, readers will benefit from the clear guidelines of Torah teachings, including Chazal and contemporary rabbanim, as well as from the author’s extensive counseling experience. Together, these provide life-changing tools for staying happily married — forever.

    “Marriage opens the door to simchas ha’chaim and has the ability to improve every dimension of one’s life. However, one needs the proper keys to enter; if the keys are broken, he’ll break through the door, causing disastrous results and the ruination of his life.”

    Rav Moshe Aharon Stern

    Rabbi Morgenstern is a world-renowned authority on shalom bayis and chinuch ha’banim.

    A native New Yorker, Rabbi Morgenstern attended Yeshiva Torah Vodaath and Mesivta Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin, then continued his studies in Israel at Yeshiva Torah Ore and Kollels Brisk and Mir, where he received his rabbinical ordination.

    Rabbi Morgenstern is presently affiliated with Arachim, one of the leading Jewish outreach organizations, and has been active in Jewish education and outreach for over two decades. He lectured internationally in high schools, girls’ seminaries, and adult groups, and was the senior halachah teacher in EYAHT, Aish Hatorah’s College of Jewish Studies for Women, for almost two decades.

    He also practices family counseling and lectured extensively in Israel and abroad on shalom bayis, chinuch ha’banim, family communication, shidduchim, and dating, and has produced a popular MP3 series on these topics. His articles on these topics and Jewish hashkafah have appeared internationally in Jewish newspapers and magazines.

    Rabbi Morgenstern also hosts interactive teleconferencing classes on the halachos of daily living, and workshops on child-raising and family relationships. Learn More

  3. So many questions ...

    Raising children. It’s never been easy, and in today’s increasingly complex world, raising successful and happy children seems more difficult than ever. Parents face so many challenges and issues -- and have so many questions.

    Thankfully, we’ve got Rabbi Yaakov Bender to answer them.

    Rabbi Bender is a national resource, hailed as one of the most visionary and dedicated mechanchim of our time. Thousands of parents, educators and, of course, children turn to him with their questions, knowing the answers they receive from him will be wise and compassionate, based firmly on Torah values and his many decades of teaching -- and caring for -- children of all ages. In Chinuch For Today he shares hundreds of real questions that have been sent to him, together with his answers.

    • On an upcoming visit, my parents want to take our children out to places that don’t reflect our family’s values and hashkafos. How do we deal respectfully with grandparents who honestly want to show our children their love?

    • My mother remarried. Do I have to like my step-siblings?

    • Can (and should) we get a “kosher” flip phone for our tenth-grade daughter, who says “everyone” in the class has one?

    • The parents of a student in my class are going through a difficult divorce. He’s been a good student, but now he seems to be slipping. As his teacher, what can I do to help?

    Rabbi Bender’s answers are brief and to the point, and in every word we feel the warmth and love he has for every child.

    From the profound, to the poignant, to the completely practical -- here are the questions we ask and the answers we need to hear. Learn More

  7. Special voices, special stories, in a very special book.

    Everyone who knew him was mesmerized by Saadya Ehrenpreis a”h, the young man with Down Syndrome who confounded all the experts. He would be totally dependent for every basic need, the doctors predicted; he had little or no chance of ever communicating. Yet Saadya developed into a man who could read in Hebrew and English, traveled by himself to learn in Eretz Yisrael, and attended the Makor College Experience program at Yeshiva University.

    After his untimely passing from COVID-19, his mother, Ahava Ehrenpreis, a talented author, chose to memorialize his life through filling a pressing need — providing a book that would serve as both a resource and an inspiration to parents, relatives, friends, and professionals dealing with children and adults who have special needs. More: To compile a book for everyone who believes that every person is special and should be treated with understanding, compassion, acceptance, and respect.

    More Than Special is that book — a book for those who want to deepen and expand their own ahavas Yisrael. And doesn’t that mean all of us?

    More Than Special includes:

    The voices — authentic, honest, and heroic — of parents who give us a greater understanding of the challenges — and miracles — of raising special needs children

    Advice from social workers and experts in the field of special education on how to create opportunities for individuals with special needs

    Guidance in legal and financial safeguards for special-needs children and adults

    Rabbanim discussing halachic and hashkafic issues of the special-needs population, including poignant and heartfelt words of chizuk from Rav Moshe Shapiro and the Pnei Menachem Learn More

    Want to raise caring, responsible, and successful children and students? Use the best book available ... the Torah!

    Yes, we all know that we have to show children that we love them -- but do we truly understand how to get the message of unconditional love across to them? Yes, we realize that teenagers are, to put it kindly, a little confused -- but wouldn’t it be valuable to learn how to enter their thoughts and feelings? Of course we know that we don’t “own” our children -- but do we sometimes act as if we do?
