When a loved one passes away, it is a time of darkness and mourning for those left behind.

Presented from the authentic Torah viewpoint and filled with chizuk and emunah, When You’ve Lost a Loved One will bring light and hope to those feeling bereft and lost in a world forever altered. In his soft and uplifting style, Rabbi Keilson transforms the year of aveilus to one of healing and comfort—for aveilus is very real, but so is nechamah. And there is room for both.

“I rejoiced when they told me that your precious sefer…to strengthen broken hearts with emunah, is about to come out.”

Rav Yitzchok Kolodetsky

“Harav Dov Keilson has taken upon himself to strengthen and give solace to people who have experienced sadness in their lives…the broken hearts of Klal Yisrael will gain great chizuk from this sefer.”

Rav Yaakov Bender

The calendar is laid out according to the Hebrew months, with the civil calendar date noted on each day. There are improvements in the graphics, changes in the format of the symbols used, and clarifications of and additions to the text digest.

Halacha (Jewish law) mandates the use of a Hebrew calendar to calculate the times required to abstain from marital relations in anticipation of a period. The Hebrew date begins at shkiah (sunset) and ends the following day at shkiah (whereas the civil date, based on the standard solar calendar, begins and ends at midnight). All menstrual calculations are only according to the Hebrew calendar.

Calculations based on any other calendar are inaccurate. Never use the standard solar calendar for this purpose although, for reference only, this personal calendar includes civil dates. Learn More

Torah. Language. Math. Science. What is missing in our children’s formal education?

Most children need to be taught the “talent” of happiness. It doesn’t happen automatically — and it is the central key that enables them to lead successful, productive, and meaningful lives.

Beth Perkel synthesizes deep Torah concepts, the most up-to-date psychological methods, scientific studies and research and weaves them into a practical, personalized system for us and our children. Light at the Beginning of the Tunnel teaches parents how to empower children with micro-habits and mindsets that will wire them with lifelong skills to improve their attitudes, reactions, and interactions throughout life. With many profound exercises, teachings, and tips that are applicable to adults as well, this book offers the power to illuminate all stages of the journey through the tunnel of life.

Known for her bright smile and ever-present laugh, Beth Perkel is a noticeably happy person. She is also a professional writer, mediator, and teacher, and was a shul rebbetzin for almost a decade. She was first published in national and international magazines by age seventeen, won her first writing award at age eighteen, and had her writing included in a New York Times bestselling book by age nineteen. Perkel’s education in and passion for psychology began during her years at the University of Pennsylvania, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa and conducted funded national and international psychology research. Since then, she has written in-depth articles, stories, and first-person essays for a dozen online and print publications. Her work has been featured in Newsweek Magazine, Chicago Tribune, Mishpacha Magazine, Family First, Aish.com, Times of Israel, The Jewish Press, and in many books. Perkel also loves giving shiurim, cooking Moroccan food, and winning snowball fights. She lives in Chicago with her husband and children. Learn More

The story is told about an older couple that was having a fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration. All their children and grandchildren were there, and a caterer provided a delectable meal. One of the waiters approached the head table, where the husband and wife were sitting, and asked what they’d like. The wife chose a piece of dark chicken.

One of the grandchildren who happened to be next to them asked,

“Bubby, why are you taking the dark chicken? Every time we’ve been over for Shabbos you always take the white part.”

“The truth is,”" Bubby answered, “I prefer dark meat. But I know that Zaidy prefers the dark meat, so for fifty years I’ve been eating the white.”

“Well, I actually prefer the white meat,” Zaidy interjected, “and for fifty years I’ve been taking the dark meat because I thought you liked the white meat.”

No one said anything for a moment.

“Then I guess you both lost,” said the grandchild.

“No,” they answered in unison, with big smiles on their faces. “We both won.”

The Goal of this book and the accompanying men's volume is that you and your husband should be able to look back and realize that the giving, sacrifices, and everything else you do for each other have made you winners - the biggest winners possible in the most important area of life.
