A Peaceful Home authored forty years ago by the Ponevez Yeshiva Masgiach Rabbi Chayim Friedlander ZT”L as a guide primarily for young men approaching marriage, coaching them in their new responsibilities and obligations to their wives enabling them to build their home in the way of Torah. The essay educates the new husband in what his role is, his obligations to his wife, understanding her nature and her aspirations and supporting her materially and emotionally. It is crafted in five chapters of concise lessons each dealing with a different aspect of married life.
Sefer Shemirat HaLashon was published by the Chafetz Chayim about one hundred fifty years ago as a sefer of mussar, the Torah’s imperative to speak properly and the tragedy of improper speech. It is built on three Gateways-Shaarim: Shaar HaZechirah details the utterly destructive power of Lashon Hara and Rechilut prolonging our Exile both on a personal level and on a national level. Shaar HaTeshuvah is a lesson in loving our fellow Jews, being patient and trusting in Hashem. Shaar HaTorah is an insight into the importance of learning Torah. The sefer concludes with an extensive epilogue on “guarded speech,” and a postscript on praying and on the consequences on informing on a fellow Jew to governmental authorities.
Sefer Shem Olam was published by the Chafetz Chayim about one hundred thirty years ago as a strategy for forlorn childless people to preserve forever a record of their life’s work – their name – in this world and in the world to come. The Chafetz Chayim builds on this theme in the Gateway to Guarding Shabbat, the Gateway to Hashem’s Desire for doing Chessed, and Gateway to Strengthening Torah. We’ve added Kuntres Nefutzot Yisrael to this publication describing the basic reasons that brought our Jewish brothers to disperse to distant countries.
Sefer Ahavat Chessed – the laws of chessed with the Chafetz Chayim’s commentary Netiv HaChessed – was published by the Chafetz Chayim about on hundred thirty seven years ago in three parts. Part one contains the laws supporting impoverished Jews by extending them loans, and the laws of paying wages timely. Part two is the mussar of loving our Jewish brothers, the reward for extending Chessed and the ruination of whoever holds back from giving Tzedakah or doing kindness. Part three deals with being proactive to get involved in life’s opportunities: taking in guests, visiting the sick, extending kindness to the dead and to their mourners, making a bride and groom happy and pulling a fellow Jew out of his sorrows.
