Shabbos

It’s the wondrous song of Shabbos. And it’s coming, with its blessings and its peace and its delights and its beauty.

Erev Shabbos. Yes, it’s a time of rushing to get everything done. But when Yisroel Besser describes the frenetic activity, Erev Shabbos becomes, not a tension-filled, stressful race against time -- but an enthusiastic and joyous preparation for the incomparable delights of Shabbos.

And then we welcome our Queen, with flickering candles and uplifting song. Here, again, as we enter a new and holy dimension, Exalted Moments enriches our experience, bringing our tefillos and bakashos to life.

In Exalted Moments, Yisroel Besser – author of many bestselling books including Nishmas: Song of the Soul – shows us how to experience those special first moments of Shabbos. Exalted Moments includes stories, ideas and insights on erev Shabbos preparations, the enormous power of prayer during candle lighting, Shalom Aleichem, Eishes Chayil and Kiddush.

Open this book and learn to savor those first wondrous moments, as the sun gently drifts downward and we begin to experience the energy, hope and sheer holiness of Shabbos. Learn More

The Song of Shabbos is a sefer, not a book, that presents an in-depth understanding of the tefillos and zemiros of Shabbos, arranged chronologically, from sunset to sunset. The various treatises present the secrets and sanctity of Shabbos in a new light.

This light, the light of 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.

In his writings, Rav S.R. Hirsch offered profound and original insights into the meaning of all aspects of Jewish life and thought.

Shabbos Perspectives contains inspiring teachings from these great Rabbinic leaders that will serve to imbue a deeper appreciation for Shabbos and enhance the spiritual level that this special day helps us to achieve.

Sefer Kitzur Hilchos Shabbos was first written as a Hebrew textbook, when the author began teaching hilchos Shabbos at the Rika Breuers Teachers Seminary. The original paperback sefer soon grew into a handsome hardcover book, which sold out almost immediately. New editions were printed, and the popular Hebrew sefer has been selling steadily ever since. Schools and study groups use this sefer, and many families learn from it on a regular basis at their Shabbos table.

Now, for the first time, this sefer on the laws of Shabbos is available in the English language! This provides an even greater opportunity for the English-speaking public to learn the laws of Shabbos in a clear and pleasurable way. Learn More
