A Gift for Yom Tov: Provocative and Penetrating Insights on the Festivals - Pesach, Shavuos, Succos, Purim and Chanukah

<p>Life seems to be filled with enough challenges to spin the head, douse the spirits, and make otherwise sensible people think that the world is against them. It's usually not, but how do you convince the "victim"? How do you determine what's right, what's wrong, and what's the way to make things better? Rabbi Yisroel Miller is a laser beam of sanity. In his earlier books, What's Wrong with Being Happy? and What's Wrong With Being Human?, he took dead aim on the enemies of joy and equilibrium, and helped improve lots of lives in the process. He did it with liberal dashes of Torah knowledge, insight, perspective, wit, eloquence, and common sense. In his new book, Rabbi Miller's springboard is the festival cycle. He delves into the lessons of Pesach, Shavuos, Succos, Chanukah, and Purim, and shows how they have things to say to everyone, every day. Crammed with anecdotes and humor, the book bolsters sagging egos and punctures pretentiousness. Most of all, Rabbi Miller has an uncanny ability to cut to the heart of a problem, to enable his listeners and readers to attain new levels of understanding, and to help them define their strengths and goals. And he does so while showing how the Torah speaks to everyone and every situation. One reads this book with interest and a smile. One puts it down reluctantly -- and with the feeling that it's as fine a Gift for Yom Tov as one has ever received!</p>

<p>Questions you forgot to ask your Rebbe.Many frum people observe mitzvos and yet seem to be lacking a sense of inner spiritual connection. Others seek understanding and depth of meaning, but have no Rebbe, no trusted mentor, to whom they can ask their questions. Still others have become tired, jaded, apathetic or cynical - and suspect that there are no answers worth hearing. In Search of Torah Wisdom - Questions You Forgot to Ask Your Rebbi is a fascinating, original, and inspiring work that will undoubtedly help thousands of frum men and women of all ages feel "re-jewvenated" in their Torah lives. This volume addresses questions we have, issues that are rarely discussed, and challenges we face as individuals and a community. Written in a friendly - even casual - and easy-to-read style, it draws on an incredible breadth of classic sources, and presents mainstream "yeshivish" hashkafah as it applies to our contemporary lives. Some questions addressed include: Why are Orthodox Jews so conservative? How do we understand bitter disputes between Torah giants? Why do rabbis issue bans on books if they only serve to increase their sales? What is the deeper meaning of Tanach, aggadata and minhagim? How do we view Torah, science and history? Where do non-jews fit in the Divine Plan? Where do chumros come in - and how about black hats? These and dozens of other questions are answered in entertaining and thought-provoking ways that will help you explore what it means to be a frum Jew, a ben or bas Torah - and a thoughtful human being who seeks a serious relationship with Hashem.</p>
