With the exception of the Bible and Prayer Book, the Passover Haggadah is the most popular Jewish book in existence. Literally hundreds of editions have been printed with almost as many as different commentaries. Still, no justification is required for this edition, which contains a translation of Rabbi Yaakov Culi's famous MeAm Loez on the Haggadah. No author is as able to extract, and present it so as to appeal to the most advanced scholar as well as to the person with virtually no background. The Haggadah text here follows the Sephardic rite, found in the first edition of MeAm Loez on Exodus. For the benefit of Ashkenazim using the volume, Ashkenazic variations are also included where they are significantly different. This also affords the opportunity for comparison. In translating the Haggadah itself, the simple, concise style of the Hebrew text was retained. The Language of the Haggadah translation is simple enough for even young children to follow. Translated by: Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.

The Torah Anthology : Vol. 16 - Faith and Optimism (Me'Am Lo'Ez Series)

This volume covers the portions of Ekev, Reeh, Shoftim. It covers a deeper understanding of these three Sidrot which contain so many vital (and sometimes poorly understood) mitzvot. The subject matter ranges from a lengthy treatment of the laws of idolatry to halachot that involve and effect each Jew on a daily basis-the laws of Birkat HaMazon, Tefillin and Tefillah. Also covered fully are such fundamental principals of Judaism as the role and function of suffering in this world, the system of tithing (including the tithing of monetary income), and an exposition of permitted and forbidden foods. The principals of prophecy and the methods of distinguishing a false prophet from a true one are enumerated, as are the laws dealing with the three major festivals. The last Sidra, Shoftim-"Magistrates," deals with those institutions-monarchy, the judiciary and its enforcement arm-which provide a structure for the community to realize its role as a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation" The volume concludes with an exposition of the laws of warfare and Eglah Arufah. These three Sidrot contain many complex laws which are here brilliantly elucidated using the unique approach of the MeAm Loez, in which halachic and Aggadic material from the Talmud and Midrash are combined with the best of the later commentators. Translated by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.

'The Torah Anthology : Laws and Warning (Me'Am Lo'EzSeries)

Rabbi Shmuel Yeushalmi

Culi, Yaakov

Portions of Nitzavim, VaYelech, Haazinu, VeZot HaBracha. The last weeks of Moses' life are running out. With his passing will go mankind's one and only chance to hear its Creator's words of prophecy in the purest and most direct way ever transmitted. But much is accomplished in that brief time. A new covenant between G-d and the Israelites is established, and the penalties for its violation are made clear. To mitigate them, the mitzvah of repentance is enjoined and explained. Joshua is appointed Moses' successor, the sublime poetry of the Song of Ha'azinu and Moses' final blessing to the tribes is set down. And in the end, along with his G-d Moses is granted his last wish: He is shown the land of Israel. No tomb, no stone marks his grave. But G-d's words of praise accompany Moses through all eternity. Translated by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.

'The Torah Anthology :Vol. 19 - Repentance and Blessings (Me'Am Lo'Ez Series)

Portions of VaYikra, Tzav, Shemini, Tazria, Metzora, Acharei Mot.. This volume encompasses the first half of the Book of Leviticus. It begins with an in-depth discussion of the sacrificial system, explaining the laws of sacrifices as well as their reason. Also included is a detailed description of the daily service as practiced in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The narrative begins with the completion of the Tabernacle, and its dedication. We then read the story of the eighth day, when divine fire ignited the altar. This great celebration was marred by tragedy, when Aaron's two sons, Nadav and Avihu, offered "strange fire" and were killed. The reasons behind this tragedy are discussed in detail. It is this section of the Torah that deals with the laws of kashruth. Forbidden and permitted animals are described, and reasons are described, and reasons are given for the various rules. There is also a rather complete discussion of the prohibition against eating blood. This includes a digest of all the laws involving salting meat. As in previous volumes, the author presents the most complete treatment of the subject ever provided in a non-Hebrew text. Another highlight of this volume is the Yom Kippur Service. The Yom Kippur reading is quoted, and then explained in depth. It makes a person feel as if he were actually participating in this service. Translated by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.

Torah Anthology : Vol. 11 - Divine Service (Me'Am Lo'Ez Series)

Portions of Mikketz, Vayigash and Vayechi. Here we witness Jacob's marriage to Rachel and Leah, as well as the birth of his sons, who would be destined to give rise to the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Rabbi Yaacov Culi weaves the Talmudic and Midrashic traditions into the story itself. Anthology of the major classical commentaries is presented, not as a dry textual analysis, but as living drama. Here we accompany Abraham on his historic pilgrimage to the Holy Land, following nothing but the Divine call. We partake in the excitement of his great battle against the Four Kings, and literally feel the emotions at the sacrifice of Isaac. The beginnings of the conflict between the two rival brothers, Jacob and Esau, are presented in such living detail, it is almost as if we are eavesdropping. The Torah Anthology is a clear, modern translation of Me'am Lo'ez, hailed as "the outstanding work of Ladino literature" Written by Rabbi Yaakov Culi, one of the greatest Sepharadie sages of his time, the book was first published in 1730. It changed the spiritual climate of the entire Mediterranean region. Eastern Jews esteemed Me'am Lo'ez as a major classic, affording it virtually the same status as the Talmud and Midrash. Many count Me'am Lo'ez among the best commentaries ever written on the Torah-in any language. The book is a veritable encyclopedia of Jewish knowledge. (translated by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan)
