  1. From the approbations of the author’s Hebrew work, Tehillos Yisrael:

    “I have reviewed the sefer Tehillos Yisrael and it is a very beautiful sefer . . .”

    —HaRav Hagaon Chaim Kanievsky

    “lt is a sefer that is unique . . . which reveals the depth and hidden light of the language of tefillah . . .”

    —HaRav Dovid Cohen

    Now, in Coming Closer, Rabbi Goldfinger uncovers the language and deeper intent of tefillah in a form accessible to everyone.

    “Rabbi Goldfinger has published a deep and beautiful work. . . The serious student will gain tremendously from both the fun- damentals clarified and the meaning that it adds to tefillah . . .”

    —HaRav Ahron Lopiansky

    “The insights [of Coming Closer] speak to both the heart and the intellect simultaneously . . . creating a palpable new appreciation of tefillos . . . I personally thank you for the positive effect on my own davening.”

    —HaRav Mordechai Finkelman

    This sefer can help us come closer to Hashem with each and every davening. Learn More

  6. Praying with Fire (volumes 1 and 2) began a "tefillah revolution"”for tens of thousands whose prayers were immeasurably enriched by its potent insights and powerful strategies. Now Rabbi Heshy Kleinman turns his brilliant understanding of tefillah to the actual prayers themselves.

    Beginning with the first words a Jew says every morning - Modeh Ani - and moving throughout the prayers we recite each day, Rabbi Kleinman brings his trademark combination of scholarship and spirituality to the words of tefillah. Like a master jeweler displaying a precious gem, he shows us the many sparkling facets of our prayer's holy words.

    Praying with Meaning looks at the simple meaning of specific words in the tefillah, followed by an examination of the prayer's essential concepts. Then, with his genius for transforming lofty spiritual truths into practical action, the author guides us into visualizing images and finding strategies to bring these concepts into our daily routine. He weaves stories and parables to make clearer to us what the prayers are referring to, and shares important halachic information on each prayer.

    Praying with Fire showed us the vital importance of tefillah. Now - isn't it time to understand what we're saying? Learn More

  7. ‘Inner Worlds’ is not just another book explaining the words of the prayers.

    The instinct to pray is as ancient as instinct itself.

    Prayer itself has taken on countless forms, from offerings to song, words to whispers, tearful supplication to sublime silence. At times, prayer is as primitive and raw as a cry for help, at times, prayer is a formulaic equation intended to effect change, – but always, flowing from a place deep within, and forever with a hope for a better future.

    Throughout ‘Inner Worlds’ attention is paid to the poetry, history, theology and contextual meaning of the prayers, however, the intention of this work is to provide a guide to finding meaning and effecting transformation through our prayer experience.

    Explore:

    * What happens when we pray?

    * How do we enter the mind-state of prayer?

    * Learning to incorporate the body into the prayers

    * Discover techniques to enhance and deepen prayer and make it a transformative experience.

    In this empowering and inspiring text, Rav Pinson demonstrates how through proper mindset, preparation and dedication, the experience of prayer can be deeply transformative and ultimately, life-altering. Learn More

  8. From the age of bar mitzvah, we pray at the amud. Yet many who do are unfamiliar with the halachos that apply to the sheliach tzibbur. This is especially true of those in mourning, who are suddenly and unexpectedly called upon to lead the congregation on a daily basis. Even those well versed in halachah are not always knowledgeable in these laws.

    At the Amud is designed to guide and familiarize the sheliach tzibbur with the halachos he needs to know to fulfill his obligation. It includes chapters on the halachos that apply to a minyan and to those saying Kaddish . The laws and minhagim of the daily tefillos, Kerias HaTorah and the different Kaddeishim are also discussed. Authoritative and fully annotated, with appendices and a useful index, this sefer is a must for every Jewish home.

    Commendations:

    Rabbi Yaakov Gordon is a talmid chacham renowned for his Torah works, especially in English, and praised by gedolei Torah. …One who wishes to be a sheliach tzibbur will find in his sefer every detail he must know. --Rabbi Zalman Nechemia Goldberg

    Whoever sees the author’s work is amazed; his words are clear, straightforward, and arranged beautifully, and enlightening to all who delve into them. --Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen Learn More

  9. Prayer. That unique form of communication between us and our Creator; the connection that brings us close to Him while simultaneously effecting our own yeshuos.

    But prayer doesn’t always come naturally to a person, especially when one has a hard time understanding or relating to the tefillos that we say each day. Portraits of Prayer’s goal is to change that.

    Bursting with stories and inspiration on the daily tefillos, Portraits of Prayer is all about helping us see the relevance of the words we've been saying all our lives. Whether it’s a story about a gadol that brings a particular verse to life, or a beautiful interpretation of a pasuk in Pesukei D’zimrah, you’ll find yourself turning to Portraits of Prayer frequently as a way to connect to your tefillos…and to your Father in Heaven.
