But sometimes, once the routine of ordinary life sets in, that radiance gives way to tension and sadness; the young spouses look like they're carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, dragging themselves around as if old age has caught up with them prematurely.

Is this disenchantment inevitable? What does it take to sustain a marriage and keep it blissful, all the way from the chuppah to the golden years?

This illuminating book, by Rav Dovid Levy of the Pele Yoetz Center in Jerusalem, explains how to build a strong and durable framework for marriage. No matter what challenges come their way, a couple that puts this knowledge to practice will be able to look to each other and yes, really find the ahavah, achvah, shalom v'reus that everyone was singing about at their sheva brachos.

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 Raavad explains that had woman been created from the earth as was man, they would have gone their separate and independent ways. Instead, Hashem created one from the other to demonstrate the need for them to live together as a single unit. This concept is reflected in the commentaries of the Ramban and Rav Shimshon Raphael Hirsch on the pasuk, “והיו לבשר אחד — And they shall become one flesh” (Bereishis 2:24), which explain that “one flesh” constitutes one mind, one heart, and one soul. Indeed, the Zohar teaches that before uniting in marriage, man and woman are only a plag gufa, half a person.

Standing under the chuppah transforms two separate individuals into that single cohesive unit that Hashem intended. Maintaining that indivisibility, central to achieving a successful marriage, requires vigilant focus on

Rabbi Goldberg has been learning in kollel for close to two decades, currently learning in the Torah Ore beis midrash. He received semichah from Dirshu, and has been meshamesh Harav Yitzchak Berkovits, shlita, for more than a decade. He has also sat in numerous batei horaah, most notably that of Harav Nissim Karelitz, zt”l. He is currently partaking in a program learning Choshen Mishpat under the guidance of Harav Elchanan Peretz, shlita, a talmid muvhak of Harav Hagaon Chaim Pinchas Sheinberg, zt”l, the previous rosh yeshiva of Torah Ore.
