  1. Our world feels so full of upheaval. Everything seems to be changing more and more quickly. Externally, we feel beset by darkness and surrounded by a long, cold winter. Will spring ever come?

    The teachings in this book are drawn from shiurim of Rav Moshe Weinberger.

    In them, Rav Weinberger shows how to use the light of the Chanukah menorah to look deep inside other people, ourselves, the events around us, and the world itself to fuel our journey to a revealed relationship with our loving Father above.

    This book includes teachings broken up for each of the eight nights of Chanukah, for Shabbos Chanukah, The Order of Lighting the Chanukah Lights and a number of tefillos to say after lighting the candles.

    May the teachings in this book illuminate our eyes with the inner light of the Chanukah candles. Learn More

  2. RETURN is a sefer, not a book. It presents an in-depth understanding of the mitzvos and tefillos of Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Sukkos, in a new light.

    THIS LIGHT, the light from the ohr ha’ganuz (the hidden light) was originally revealed in the sifrei Maharal. After centuries of neglect, it was rekindled for the Torah world by the appearance of the famous maamarim of Hagaon Harav Yitzchak Hutner, zt”l, and recorded in his sefarim, Pachad Yitzchak.

    “He was planted in this generation to bring light to the world and all who dwell in it - a new light”

    (From the inscription on his tombstone)

    A commentary to enlighten the hearts of the probers of Torah. The spirit of Rav Hutner is evident.

    Rav Moshe Shternbuch

    He has plumbed the depths of the deep waters of Torah, and drawn its secrets, with acumen and richness.

    Rav Aaron Schechter

    Rav Yonasan David

    His very being is suffused to the source - the well of pure waters, the Torah of Rav Yitzchock Hutner.

  9. I was totally mesmerized by this outstanding, extraordinary original and creative analysis of the role the Shalosh Regalim play in representing the most fundamental elements of Jewish faith. In this work, which is organized, compelling, and full of deep wisdom, Rabbi Neil Lauer combines highly rigorous halakhic analysis with deeply thoughtful homiletical insights in a most seamless and clearly presented way. He extracts great wisdom hitherto hidden in plain sight on these important celebrations as well as on a multitude of other Jewish concepts and practices. Over and over again I found myself saying, “I knew this source, but never realized its true full meaning and significance. Of course, now it is obvious.” We owe Rabbi Lauer a great debt for the exceptional gift he has given us. Your understanding and appreciation of the Shalosh Regalim, like mine, will never be the same again.

    Rabbi Jacob J. Schacter

    Eye opening insights that will benefit scholar and layman alike. Will most certainly enhance the spiritual pleasure of the hagim.

His eye-opening feature articles that have appeared in the magazine section of Hamodia have generated wide interest.
