    The time between Elul and Yom Kippur. 
    Forty of the holiest - and perhaps the most important - days of our year.
    Imagine having Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlita guiding you each and every day. 
    You can.

    Written by Maran HaRav Chaim Kanievsky's grandson, Rabbi Avraham Yeshayahu Shteinman, who has been spending time daily with him for many years, Rav Chaim on Elul and the Yamim Noraim includes stories, commentary, laws, customs, and perspectives on the awesome time between the month of Elul and Yom Kippur.

    This sefer includes:

    • Rav Chaim's answers to questions on the laws and customs of Selichos, Elul, Rosh Hashanah, Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, Yom Kippur
    • His explanation of the meaning of many of the prayers of these exalted days
    • His comments on the Torah readings of the Yamim Noraim
    • His personal practices
    • His insights on Selichos, Vidui, and the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy

    • The study of Shulchan Aruch at times is very challenging in terms of clarifying the final stance of the learned subject. This especially applies in instances that many cases and opinions exist within a given topic. In addition, throughout the generations hundreds of practical questions on the laws in Shulchan Aruch arose. Getting a proper grasp on the laws of Yom KIppur especially faces this challenge due to the complexity of the cases and the range of opinions. Even amongst the currently available English literature, the opinion of the greatest of the Achronim, the Shulchan Aruch Harav, is many times omitted or not given its proper presence. Likewise, the Chabad custom related to Yom Kippur is not given their proper presence. This Sefer tackles all the above deficiencies. A clear summary of the rulings of the Shulchan Aruch Harav and Chabad custom, supplemented with the opinions of the Mishneh Berurah and Kaf Hachaim. This is accompanied with hundreds of practical Q&A that were compiled from classical Halachic sources. All this is compiled with informative footnotes that lend the reader background information and other opinions voiced on the subject matter. Learn More

    • Dear Children, I'm sure you all know about the trial that's just around the corner. The month of Elul is a time for us to prepare for this special trial, which takes place on Rosh Hashanah. For most of us, the trial continues throughout the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, and then on Yom Kippur our aveiros are forgiven and the verdict from the trial is sealed. I want to invite you on an imaginary journey. Together, Just Imagine what it might look like if we were asked to come give an accounting of our mitzvos and aveiros before a court on this earth, instead of the Heavenly Court...Imagine facing the prosecutor as he lists our aveiros one by one. Imagine standing before the advocate, as he praises our good deeds and stacks up our mitzvos... It will be a fascinating journey: exciting, sometimes a bit scary (in a good way) and even a little amusing... Above all, this story will help us really understand our annual "day in court" and learn wise tips that will help us win the case and enjoy a great new year! Learn More
    • As in Hilchos Shabbos, in Hilchos Yom Tov we have followed the "derech kitzora" (path of brevity), and have concentrated primarily on acquainting the reader with the main principles of the laws of Yom Tov. In addition, we have presented a number of practical applications. Thus, one will be equipped to ask one's Rav for further guidance after studying this sefer.

      In Hilchos Shabbos we organized the sefer in accordance with the sequence used by the Chayei Adam in his sefer Zichru Toras Moshe. Likewise, in Hilchos Yom Tov as well, we have organized the sefer according to the arrangement of the Chayei Adam, which follows the order of the thirty-nine Melachos. Thus, each chapter in this sefer parallels the corresponding chapter in Kitzur Hilchos Shabbos.

      The advantage to this system is that one who has already studied the laws of Shabbos from our sefer can now easily find the halachos of Yom Tov relevant to that subject in the same chapter as that topic is discussed in Hilchos Shabbos. Moreover, within each chapter, one can frequently follow the order of the numbers assigned to each subtopic, and thereby see how the halacha in regard to Yom Tov differs from Shabbos. Learn More
