  1. Hashgachah Pratis: It’s All About Connection

    We call it “hashgachah pratis”—the understanding that Hashem is continuously in our lives, and not just in historic events and obvious miracles. Hashgachah pratis tells us that Hashem is with us in traffic jams, in hospital wards, and while we’re waiting for a delayed plane to take off. He is with us even in our times of suffering. Everything, but everything, reflects His Will and His goodness. And the more we are aware of the hashgachah pratis around us – the more we are able to see it clearly!

    Rabbi Heshy Kleinman, author of the classic Praying With Fire series, brings us a daily reader that shows us how to become aware of hashgachah pratis in our world, and how such a consciousness will ignite our emunah, enhance our gratitude, increase our merits, and lead us to a happier, more secure and meaningful life.

  2. Strengthening Your Reliance on Hashem One Pasuk At a Time

    A life lived with tranquility and confidence. Success in business. Protection in times of danger. And, greatest of all, a way to strengthen our connection to Hashem. Yes, the blessings of bitachon are immeasurable. But how do we truly incorporate such trust in Hashem into our hearts?

    The Talmud Yerushalmi, the Zohar, the Maharal and many other sources offer us a time-tested and effective means for embedding bitachon firmly within us. The Maharal even states that this technique is a segulah for success in business and protection in times of war.

    What is this ultra-powerful technique?

    Pesukim of bitachon.

    That’s right, pesukim, brief verses from Tanach.

    Reciting specific verses, these sources tell us, is an extremely powerful way of incorporating bitachon –and all its blessings -- into every aspect of our lives. Indeed, when we internalize these pesukim, we will transform our very essence.

    Rav Yosef Zundel of Salant, the teacher of Rav Yisrael Salanter, listed specific pesukim that strengthen our trust in G-d’s providence, faith, and salvation. In this groundbreaking work, Rabbi David Sutton examines each of those pesukim, and gives us a greater understanding of the many lessons we can learn from them. Through stories and insights, he shows us how to use the pesukim to strengthen our bitachon. Each pasuk is followed by a brief “Recap” that helps us review the power of the pasuk, and a section with practical takeaways.

    Designed to be used as a daily reader, with one pasuk every day, in A Daily Dose of Pesukim of Bitachon we will discover the amazing power of just a few words to transform our lives and lead us to the simchah, the joy, that comes from living a life defined by bitachon. Learn More

  3. This book captures a revolution – and takes it to the next level.

    In just one year, more than 60,000 people have learned to see a better world, joining the Vayimaen movement. They’ve gained inspiration from the over 100 world-renowned rabbanim and personalities who opened their eyes to the mountains of spiritual opportunity unique to our generation and awaiting to be climbed.

    Now Rabbi Yechiel Spero, who has engaged and inspired us with so many bestselling and beloved books, moves the revolution forward.

    In Vayimaen we will reawaken the truth that authentic happiness lies, not in the allure of societal attraction but, rather, in the haven of purity that exists within us.

    We will learn that every moment of rising above temptation is laden with untold blessings and salvations.

    We will discover how to dream of greatness and how to achieve it, not in a lifetime but in a moment. And we will come to recognize that you – yes you - blaze the path toward the final Geulah. Learn More

  4. Lights. Camera. Action!

    Based on the Chafetz Chaim’s sefer Shem Olam, this groundbreaking work uses the process of a major film production to illustrate how the physical universe is a grand mashal, an analogy, to understand the Olam HaEmes, the True World. A script, special effects, actors, editing, and a soundtrack are all parts of this virtual reality that is our world — a film running for six thousand years.

    In Behind the Scenes, readers’ eyes are opened to the plan of Creation and every individual’s unique role in it, as seen through the lens of Chazal.

    Behind the magnificent illusion of our world, a glimpse of the perfection of the Director can be perceived. Enjoy the Show.

  9. Diagnosed with a painful muscular disease when he was nine years old, Ralph Mahana realized from a young age that he had a choice to make: fall into self-pity and depression, or live a full and happy life, focusing on his blessings and on the many benefits that yissurim, suffering, brings to a person.

    In this small – but very, very big – book, Ralph shares those benefits with us. How yissurim are a confirmation of G-d’s love for us. How increased effort means increased reward, in this world and the next. How suffering helps build our place in Olam Haba, the World to Come.
