View this email in your browser The cycle of the Jewish year is a journey, taking each of us through a process of growth. Every holiday adds something special to our lives and personalities. In order to truly appreciate the gifts these holidays bring, we need to prepare for them, learn about them, and understand their relevance to our own lives. In Days Are Coming, Sivan Rahav-Meir guides us on our journey through the year: How are we liberated on Passover? How do we experience the true joy of Sukkot? What can we learn from Hanukka, Purim, Tu BiShvat, and the fast days? Why do we even celebrate all the holidays and festivals, and how do they enrich our existence in the contemporary world? As one of Israel's leading journalists, lecturers, and authors, Sivan Rahav-Meir has her finger on the pulse of the Jewish world today. Days Are Coming is her collection of short insights for all to enjoy. It is a treasure-trove of thoughts and advice - from Jewish sages throughout the generations, to artists and authors of our own time, as well as personal stories sent to the author by readers from around the world.  Buy Now Through vivid explanations and metaphors from our daily lives, along with stories from the lives of hasidim of the past, Rabbi Steinsaltz draws the world of the Tanya into our world, providing a detailed elucidation of foundational concepts in Kabbala and in Judaism in general.  This first section of the Tanya, Likkutei Amarim, comprises fifty-three chapters. In The Steinsaltz Tanya, this section has been divided into two volumes. Volume 1 contains chapters 1-32, and the forthcoming volume 2 comprises chapters 33-53. This first section of the Tanya, which its author refers to as the "Book of Beinonim", presents a novel human and ethical archetype: the beinoni, or the intermediate-level person. The beinoni is neither righteous nor wicked, but he is not an average person either. The beinoni is a category of its own, which expresses the ideal level that each an every individual, in accordance with his specific capabilities, can and should aspire to achieve.  The Tanya is presented in a format that invites a person to put the ideas presented here into practice, one concept building on another, one leading to the next so that the reader is guided toward attaining the level of beinoni that is the focus of this book. Its ideas are condensed, its words packed with meaning, and the one who studies the Tanya cannot help but appreciate its subtle and beautifully crafted writing style.  The Steinsaltz Tanya includes a vocalized Hebrew Tanyatext and a groundbreaking translation of the Tanya alongside Rabbi Steinsaltz's novel commentary. One does not have to come from the world of Hassidism to study the Tanya. Rabbi Steinsaltz's clear, readable elucidation makes this dense, concise work accessible to all.  Buy Now What makes a belief or a lifestyle rational? How much evidence do you need before deciding to act on a belief? If your religious beliefs are tightly bound up with your particular experiences and upbringing, doesn't that undermine their reliability? All these questions, and more, come to the fore in Samuel Lebens' A Guide for the Jewish Undecided. Bringing cutting-edge philosophy, science, and decision theory into conversation with Jewish tradition, this book makes the case that Jews today have cogent reasons to embrace Judaism and its practices. Moreover, this embrace is the most viable way in which they can answer the call to human responsibility. This groundbreaking work has an engaging style that makes it accessible to all readers, while not losing the clarity and rigor characteristic of analytic philosophy. It articulates a humanistic, outward-looking, and nuanced vision of Orthodox Judaism. It is sure to strengthen the faith of many, revealing Orthodox Judaism as a philosophically respectable and compelling option for contemporary Jews.  Buy Now Shop Now Offers in this email are valid from Koren USA only unless otherwise stated.  Koren Publishers Jerusalem reserves the right to alter, amend, or cancel offers at any time and without warning.
