Pesach/Passover
- Children loved reading Amiasaf’s diary in My Last Year in Mitzrayim. Now, they can join Amiasaf as he is LEAVING MITZRAYIM!
Yes, dear diary. Can you believe it? We’re going to be free! After centuries of slavery ... the dream that we have dreamed for generations is finally coming to pass. We have merited, finally, to emerge from the darkness to the light — from slavery to freedom!
So begins nine-year-old Amiasaf ‘s diary, as he continues to bring the story of Yetziyas Mitzrayim to life.
Our children will be there when the Jews bravely tie up the lambs for Korban Pesach. They will accompany the former slaves as they retrieve the Egyptians’ treasures during Makkas Choshech, watch the idols of Mitzrayim collapse into nothingness, eat of the Korban Pesach at the world’s very first Seder. We will travel with Amiasaf and his family to the banks of the Yam Suf, facing its waters in front of them and the fearful Egyptian army at their backs, awaiting Hashem’s miracles.
Based on the Torah narrative and many midrashim, Leaving Mitzrayim will enhance our children’s Seder, and their appreciation for one of the most important events in our history. Learn More

Amos Hanavi (8:11) predicted that preceding Mashiach’s arrival there would be a famine — not for bread and water, but for the word of Hashem. This explains why more and more people find themselves needing the nourishment of the deeper layers of Torah.
Festivals of Faith, presenting the Torah of Rav Moshe Wolfson, shlita, Rav of Beis Midrash Emunas Yisrael and Mashgiach Ruchani of Mesivta Torah Vodaath, attempts to satisfy this hunger and quench this thirst.
Written in a light and engaging style, the Festivals of Faith series draws from the mystical layers of Torah as transmitted through the channels of Chassidus.
Sprinkled throughout are astounding gematrios, marvelous sidebars, and next-level appendices — and each chapter ends with a practical takeaway.
This series opens up the rich resources of the Jewish year, enabling our emunah to blossom with the Festivals of Faith. Learn More

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.

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

The night of the Seder is one of the oldest and most cherished Mitzvos amongst world Jewry. There is no greater proof for this than the thousands of editions of Hagadah’s which exist and have been printed throughout the ages. Many Rabbis and sects publish their own edition of Hagadah’s to be used by their followers, so no custom be unknown or overlooked. Famously, the Rebbe published his own Hagaddah with a scholarly encyclopedic commentary. All in all, however, all these editions are not thorough Halachic works on the Seder night, but rather a commentary on the stanzas of the Haggadah and a guideline for the steps of the Seder. For example, many Haggadah’s do not go into the reasons behind the steps of the Seder, or its detailed laws. Certainly, they avoid delving into detailed Halachic questions, such as may one have a drink, or a coffee after Kadesh, or nibble on some food then as well. The vast majority of the detailed Halacha’s and surrounding Halachic questions are lacking from all these Haggadah’s. Wouldn’t it be great then to have a detailed book that focuses on all the actual Halacha’s relating to the Seder, their background and reasons, accompanied with the variety of opinions, customs, and practical Q&A. Wouldn’t this be even more complete if it contained all the Chabad practices as well as detailed nuances followed by the Chabad Rabbeim? And wouldn’t it be even more complete if it contained the story of Pesach from Chumash and Mefarshim, to help you fulfill your Mitzvah of Vehigadeta Lebincha! Well, guess what, its finally here! A 330 page encyclopedic work of all the Halachic details of the Seder and its Mitzvos with hundreds of practical Q&A, in the treasured style of Rabbi Goldstein’s all-encompassing Halachic works.

![My Last Year in Mitzrayim, A Jewish Boy’s Ancient Diary]()
This is the most incredible year in the history of the world.
And you are there.Well, not quite. But as you read the "diary" of Amiasaf, a Jewish boy living in Mitzrayim, you will feel like you're with him, and with all Bnei Yisrael.
You'll cry with Amiasaf, as his brutal Egyptian master torments him. You'll laugh, as Amiasaf's younger brother is forced by Egyptian thugs to drink the water of the Nile that has turned into blood, and instead the little Jewish slave gets cool, clear water. You'll travel to a yeshivah of Levi'im in Goshen and walk with lions and bears during the plague of arov. Most important of all, you'll learn the secret of how Bnei Yisrael held on to their belief that they would be freed from slavery, no matter how dark things looked.
You've heard the story of Yetziyas Mitzrayim so many times. Now you can really feel it!
