This is translation of a classic Jewish scholarly work. This edition comes complete with the original Hebrew text, as well as, the english translation. This is a great book for people beginning to study Torah and mitzvos, and people who are already conversent in these subjects. The book details all the 613 biblical commandments in the order from the first to the last. The original author(unknown) describes possible reasons for each, how the mitzva is explained in the Talmud and his own insights and philophy. The translation is very good, but this is not a light read. It should be studied and contempated. There are copious notes which provide further explanations and references. In short, a great work.

This book is based on an old short Jewish folk-tale, about a Jew who has been lost in the forest and miraculously saved by performing the custom of lighting Channukah candles. The author has expanded it into a full-length volume.

The story is both entertaining and immersed in traditional Jewish values, such as emunah and bittachon -- a combination quite rare in English literature. It is aimed at the level of 12-year-olds and above. The language is good, the narrative flowing. In short, it is, in my opinion, an excellent Channukah gift for your or your friends' kids, or for anyone who isn't too old to enjoy a good Jewish tale.

The Concise Book of Mitzvoth was written to group together theBiblical commandments that are applicable today. The book includesdiscussion about belief in God, shabbos, and kashrus. Sections about kindness are favorites of the author, as are the themes of self improvement.

The Chofetz Chaim is beloved in the Jewish world as a phenomonal personality who personified Jewish unity and kindness.
