Although Avot de-Rabbi Nathan is the first and longest of the \"minor tractates\", it probably does not belong in that collection chronologically, having more the character of a late midrash. In the form now extant it contains a mixture of Mishnah and Midrash, and may be technically designated as a homiletical exposition of the Mishnaic tractate Pirkei Avot, having for its foundation an older recension of that tractate. It may be considered as a kind of \"tosefta\" or \"gemarah\" to the Mishna Avot, which does not possess a traditional gemarah. Avot D'Rabbi Nathan contains many teachings, proverbs, and incidents that are not found anywhere else in the early rabbinical literature. Other rabbinical sayings appear in a more informal style than what is found in Pirkei Avot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eASIN ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003eB096XBFBBF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ simchatchaim\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e198 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e979-8517388124\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e12.6 ounces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e6 x 0.45 x 9 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eב\"ה\u003cbr\u003e\nאם אתה רוצה להדפיס ספר זה עם הקדשה למשהו, לרפואה שלימה, או לעילוי נשמת נשמת נפטר נוכל לעשות זאת בלי תוספת מחיר. ואם יש לך ספר בכל שפה מוכן להדפסה, נדפיס לך את הספר בלי עלות, והרווחים יהיו לך\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eלפרטים אנא צור איתנו קשר\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to print this book and dedicate it in honor or in memory of someone we can do it.

This is based on Astruc ha-Levi's report of the religious debate held at Tortosa in 1413-14, which mentions Albo as one of the Jewish participants and notes he was the delegate of the congregation of Monreal. However, the Latin account of this debate makes no reference to this locality.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHeinrich Graetz believes that Albo could not have been less than thirty years of age when he was sent to take part in the disputation, and he accordingly places the date of Albo's birth not later than 1380. His date of death is given variously as 1444 (most likely) or 1430. He is mentioned, however, as preaching at Soria in 1433.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe use Albo makes of medical illustrations creates the presumption that he was adept in medical science, which suggests that he may have practiced medicine. He was versed to some degree in the writings of Arab Aristotelians. His teacher was Hasdai Crescas, author of Or Hashem. Opinions vary on whether Crescas was still alive when Sefer ha-Ikkarim was published.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSefer ha-Ikkarim (\"Book of Principles\") is a fifteenth-century work by rabbi Joseph Albo, a student of Hasdai Crescas. It is an eclectic, popular work, whose central task is the exposition of the principles of Judaism. The work contains a number of internal contradictions. Most modern scholars see these as errors, while a minority of modern scholars see them as Albo's method for conveying esoteric messages.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHis work is best known for its discussion of the Jewish principles of faith, in which he argues with other thinkers such as Maimonides. Albo stated that any religion (dat elohit), including Judaism, must have the following three fundamental principles, which he calls ikkarim (fundamentals) or ikarim kollelim (general fundamentals): A. belief in the existence of God. B. belief in the revelation of God. C. belief in divine justice, as related to the idea of immortality. From these three principles, Rabbi Albo posited that a religion must have eight derivative principles shorashim [roots] or ikkarim peratiim [specific fundamentals]) which follow logically from the three fundamentals: From the existence of God: God's unity, God's incorporeality, God's timelessness, God's perfection: in God there can be neither weakness nor other defect. From the revelation of God: God's prophecy, God's prophet authentication. From the reward and punishment of God: God's omniscience.

This great Hebrew poet and philosopher was born in Malaga, Spain, about the year 4782 (1021), and died in Valencia, Spain, at the age of 36 or 37. Despite his very short life, Rabbi Solomon ibn Gabirel won great fame during his own lifetime, and even more so after his death when his writings became more widely known. His father, Yehuda, was a native of the famous city of Cordova, which was at the time under Arab domination. About ten years before Solomon's birth, when war broke out in that part of the Spanish peninsula, his father moved to Saragossa, also under Arab domination. Later, they moved to Malaga, where Rabbi Solomon was born. Losing his parents at an early age, Rabbi Solomon nevertheless continued his studies of the Talmud, in which he found his only solace. The young Rabbi Solomon was an ardent scholar and became very proficient in the Hebrew as well as the Arabic languages and grammar. He also studied astronomy, geometry, and philosophy. Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel began writing Hebrew poetry when he was very young. At the age of 16, he wrote a famous poem beginning with the words, \"I am the master, and Song is my slave.\" This poem, entitled \"Azharoth,\" is based on the Taryag (613) commandments of the Torah, and was included in the Shavuoth service of many congregations. In that year, the famous Rav Hal Gaon died in Babylon, and Solomon ibn Gabirel wrote four dirges (obituary poems) on the passing of this great scholar. Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel sang the praises of Rabbi Samuel Hanagid and also of another Jewish minister, Jekuthiel ibn Hasan of Saragossa. The latter became Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel's friend and patron. Unfortunately, Rabbi Ibn Hasan met with a violent death through a false accusation by his enemies. Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old at that time, composed a touching eulogy on the loss of his friend. A number of Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel's religious hymns were included in the prayer book. These include, in addition to \"Azharoth\" mentioned above, his \"Shir Hakovod\" (Song of Glory), and \"Shir Hayichud\" (Song of Unity). Another of his famous poems is \"Kether Malchuth\" (Royal Crown). Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel also wrote \"Kinoth\" (dirges) on the destruction of the Temple and the plight of Israel. The most famous book he wrote was The Improvement of the Moral Qualities. This book discusses Jewish philosophy of the soul and it relations to the four elements of the world. Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel's life was not a very happy one, for he was a lonesome young man with a sensitive soul. He did not hesitate to use his poetic gifts in denouncing the lack of Jewish feeling on the part of some prominent members of his community. As a result of this, he acquired many enemies who made life in Saragossa miserable for him. Eventually, Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel was banished from his native town and spent some years as a luckless wanderer, suffering many hardships. No wonder there is a touch of bitterness in his poems, but this is often coupled with a sense of humor. At the age of only 23, Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel wrote his book \"Tikkun Middoth Hanefesh,\" (Improvement of the Qualities of the Soul). About the same time, he also wrote \"Mivchar Hapeninim\" (Choice of Pearls). Both were written in Arabic and subsequently translated into Hebrew by Rabbi Yehuda ibn Tibbon. In these books, Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel presents a collection of moral sayings and maxims from Jewish as well as non-Jewish sources. The manner of Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel's death is shrouded in mystery.

Rabbi Nachman was an original spiritual teacher who emphasized the many obstacles on the way to knowing God and the importance of joy, simple faith, and innocence, as well as attachment to the righteous and in particular the - True righteous. He often protested what he saw as the institutionalization and loss of the path of Hasidism and got into serious disputes with other rebbes, due to the originality and difference in the way he founded, as well as regarding his claim that he alone is the - Truthful tzaddik.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis most prominent student, Rabbi Natan of Breslav, compiled according to his words the Moharan Collections and other fundamental books of Hasidism. Since he did not appoint a successor, Breslav Hasidism continued to function as a movement with teachers who were well versed in Rabbi Nachman's Torah even after his death, and not as a court headed by a line of rebbes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring his lifetime, Rabbi Nachman stirred up a storm and strong opposition, and Hasidism in Breslav was a small and persecuted group until it gained interest and revival in the second half of the 20th century. Its followers today number tens of thousands, many of them repenting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the town of Mzyboz in the Podolia region, in the Polish-Lithuanian Union [today in Ukraine]. During his time, Poland was partitioned, and the surrounding territories were handed over to Imperial Russia. His mother, Paige, was the daughter of Adele, the daughter of Baal Shem Tov. His father, Simcha, was the son of Rabbi Nachman of Hordenka, one of the close disciples of the holy Baal Shem Tov, and named his son after him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaised in a Hassidic-Kabbalic atmosphere. From his youth he spent a lot of time in solitude, fasting and praying for many hours. He married at the age of 13 to Sashia, Ephraim's daughter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe had no distinct rabbi, although he cites conversations with his grandfather from Horodenka. He learned most of his Torah independently, under the influence of the leaders of the Hasidic movement who would come to visit the grave of his great-grandmother, the Baal Shem Tov, in Mezhiboz. His uncles Rabbi Ephraim of Dilikov and Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibozh had a great influence on him. Rabbi Baruch recognized him for the first time as worthy of being a Rabbi for Hasidim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1790, he moved to the village of Medvedivka near the city of Chihirin, where he began to receive a regular salary as rebbe of a group of Hassidim that gathered around him, and for the first time began to be known among the Hasidic leaders of his generation as an important personality. During this period, his first disputes with other rebbes began. He lived in Medvedivka until 1798.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Breslav he was joined by most of his famous students, including Rabbi Natan Sternherz of Mimirov, who became near our days. The name of the city has been immortalized in the name of Hasidism ever since. During this period his followers used to come to him in Breslav on three holidays - Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, and Shavuot. He used to travel to his followers on three other holidays - on Shabbat Shira, and on Shabbat Nehamo. He would travel to his followers in Chihirin in eastern Ukraine, and one Saturday every winter he would travel to his followers in Turgovitsa in eastern Podolia. His eight years of sitting in Breslav were the most fruitful and in them, he delivered most of his sermons, talks, and works that were published.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his last years, Rabbi Nachman suffered from various illnesses. In 1808 he reached the city of Lviv to find a cure and stayed there alone for about eight months, but the doctors could not help him. In A. Bayer, another disaster befell him - his house and the house of his seminary in Breslav were completely burned down. At the same time, the news arrived about approval to lease a house in Uman, so he went to Uman and started living there on the 5th of Iyar. Several years earlier, while passing through the city, he learned the story of the massacre carried out there by the Heidemaks in 1768, in which thousands of Jews were killed. He told his disciples that he wanted to be buried there.\u003cbr\u003eThe rabbi passed away in the city of Oman in Tishrei, at the age of 38. He was buried in the city's old cemetery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis burial place is a place where thousands of Hasidic and just Jews gather there, who come to pray, especially every Rosh Hashanah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\/SKU: 979-8-3304-5580-5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim Size: 6.000\" x 9.000\" (229mm x 152mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Color: White 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback: Case Laminate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate Type: Matte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count: 342\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SimchatChaim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52071299547502,"sku":"979-8-3304-5580-5","price":29.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/3398\/4622\/files\/LikuteiEtzot_a88a424a-4fe6-4cba-8c2b-e5a0de544295.jpg?v=1769613926"},{"product_id":"sefer-kav-hayashar-the-just-measure-hardcover","title":"Sefer Kav HaYashar - The Just Measure","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSefer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eKav HaYashar\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe Just Measure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRabbi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTzvi Hirsch Kaidanover\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"product_title entry-title\"\u003eHardcover\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKav ha-Yashar (lit. The Just Measure; קב הישר) authored by Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Kaidanover (1648–1712), is one of the most popular works of musar literature of the last three hundred years. First published in 1705 in Frankfurt am Main, it has appeared in over 80 editions, in nearly every country around the world. The work was famous for uplifting the spirits of Jewish communities in Europe after the Chmelnitzki Massacres of 1648-1649. Moshe Idel has described Kav Ha-Yashar as an \"ethical-kabbalistic collection of stories, moral guidance, and customs\" which \"reflects a deliberate effort to popularize Safedian Kabbalah by adopting a much more understandable style in Hebrew.\"Kav ha-yashar (the title means “an honest portion,” but the letters of the first word correspond to the number 102, which is the number of chapters in the book and the numerical value of Tsevi, his first name; the numerical value of the second word is equivalent to that of his second name, Hirsh) consists of “moral teachings and the fear of God and dreadful deeds,” as described on the first page of some of its editions; it was one of the most influential and widely circulated ethical works of the eighteenth century. Dozens of editions of the original Hebrew version have been printed, and Tsevi Hirsh also prepared a Yiddish version, which went through at least 10 editions. The book is based on the dualistic doctrine of the Zohar, which attributed palpable reality to both the world of sanctity and the world of impurity, on earth and in heaven. It divides all aspects of reality according to their affinity either with the sanctity connected to the divine, the angels, and the Garden of Eden or with the impurity connected to Satan, Lilith, evil spirits, plagues, and kelipot (“shells,” a kabbalistic term for the impurity surrounding holiness). This influential book was regarded as a guide to God-fearing piety and to preserving the norms of the community, framing them in the context of individual providence and the reckoning of sins and merits. Following motifs in kabbalistic literature, the book propounds a cultural, religious, and social system of normative versus deviant behavior, enforced by often terrifying sanctions that depend on a supernatural and invisible source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\/SKU: 978-1-61704-587-5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim Size: 6.000\" x 9.000\" (229mm x 152mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Color: White 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback: Case Laminate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate Type: Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count: 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SimchatChaim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52071326089582,"sku":"978-1-61704-587-5","price":38.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/3398\/4622\/files\/1767495552.jpg?v=1767495824"},{"product_id":"safer-likutei-etzot-rabbi-nachman-of-breslav-collections-of-advices","title":"Safer Likutei Etzot - Rabbi Nachman of Breslav: Collections of advices","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSefer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Likutei Etzot\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRabbi\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNachman of Breslav\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRabbi Nachman of Breslav [Was born 1st of Nisan, April 4, 1772 - Deceased 18th of Tishri, October 16th, 1810] was the founder of Hasidism in Breslav and its only rebbe. Rabbi Nachman was an original spiritual teacher who emphasized the many obstacles on the way to knowing God and the importance of joy, simple faith, and innocence, as well as attachment to the righteous and in particular the - True righteous. He often protested what he saw as the institutionalization and loss of the path of Hasidism and got into serious disputes with other rebbes, due to the originality and difference in the way he founded, as well as regarding his claim that he alone is the - Truthful tzaddik.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis most prominent student, Rabbi Natan of Breslav, compiled according to his words the Moharan Collections and other fundamental books of Hasidism. Since he did not appoint a successor, Breslav Hasidism continued to function as a movement with teachers who were well versed in Rabbi Nachman's Torah even after his death, and not as a court headed by a line of rebbes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring his lifetime, Rabbi Nachman stirred up a storm and strong opposition, and Hasidism in Breslav was a small and persecuted group until it gained interest and revival in the second half of the 20th century. Its followers today number tens of thousands, many of them repenting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the town of Mzyboz in the Podolia region, in the Polish-Lithuanian Union [today in Ukraine]. During his time, Poland was partitioned, and the surrounding territories were handed over to Imperial Russia. His mother, Paige, was the daughter of Adele, the daughter of Baal Shem Tov. His father, Simcha, was the son of Rabbi Nachman of Hordenka, one of the close disciples of the holy Baal Shem Tov, and named his son after him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaised in a Hassidic-Kabbalic atmosphere. From his youth he spent a lot of time in solitude, fasting and praying for many hours. He married at the age of 13 to Sashia, Ephraim's daughter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe had no distinct rabbi, although he cites conversations with his grandfather from Horodenka. He learned most of his Torah independently, under the influence of the leaders of the Hasidic movement who would come to visit the grave of his great-grandmother, the Baal Shem Tov, in Mezhiboz. His uncles Rabbi Ephraim of Dilikov and Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibozh had a great influence on him. Rabbi Baruch recognized him for the first time as worthy of being a Rabbi for Hasidim.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1790, he moved to the village of Medvedivka near the city of Chihirin, where he began to receive a regular salary as rebbe of a group of Hassidim that gathered around him, and for the first time began to be known among the Hasidic leaders of his generation as an important personality. During this period, his first disputes with other rebbes began. He lived in Medvedivka until 1798.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Breslav he was joined by most of his famous students, including Rabbi Natan Sternherz of Mimirov, who became near our days. The name of the city has been immortalized in the name of Hasidism ever since. During this period his followers used to come to him in Breslav on three holidays - Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, and Shavuot. He used to travel to his followers on three other holidays - on Shabbat Shira, and on Shabbat Nehamo. He would travel to his followers in Chihirin in eastern Ukraine, and one Saturday every winter he would travel to his followers in Turgovitsa in eastern Podolia. His eight years of sitting in Breslav were the most fruitful and in them, he delivered most of his sermons, talks, and works that were published.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his last years, Rabbi Nachman suffered from various illnesses. In 1808 he reached the city of Lviv to find a cure and stayed there alone for about eight months, but the doctors could not help him. In A. Bayer, another disaster befell him - his house and the house of his seminary in Breslav were completely burned down. At the same time, the news arrived about approval to lease a house in Uman, so he went to Uman and started living there on the 5th of Iyar. Several years earlier, while passing through the city, he learned the story of the massacre carried out there by the Heidemaks in 1768, in which thousands of Jews were killed. He told his disciples that he wanted to be buried there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rabbi passed away in the city of Oman in Tishrei, at the age of 38. He was buried in the city's old cemetery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis burial place is a place where thousands of Hasidic and just Jews gather, who come to pray, especially every Rosh Hashanah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\/SKU: 979-8-3304-5560-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim Size: 6.000\" x 9.000\" (229mm x 152mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Color: White 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback: Perfect Bound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate Type: Matte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count: 344\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SimchatChaim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52071337427310,"sku":"979-8-3304-5560-7","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/3398\/4622\/files\/LikuteiEtzot.jpg?v=1769612685"},{"product_id":"messilat-yesharim-the-path-of-the-upright-rabbi-moshe-chaim-luzzatto-ra-mhal-hardcover","title":"Messillat Yesharim: The Path of the Upright -  Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto Ra’Mhal","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMessilat Yesharim\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe Path of the Upright\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRabbi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMoshe Chaim Luzzatto\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe Ra’Mhal\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"a-spacing-none a-text-normal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"productSubtitle\" class=\"a-size-large a-color-secondary\"\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMesillat Yesharim or Mesillas Yeshorim - \"Path of the Upright\" is an ethical (musar) text composed by the influential Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (1707–1746).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is different from Luzzato's other writings, which are more philosophical. Mesillat Yesharim was written and published in Amsterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earliest known manuscript version, written in 1738, was arranged as a dialogue between a hakham (wise man) and a hasid (pious person). Before publication, it was rearranged to have only one speaker. The dialogue version often sheds light on the more well-known version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMesillat Yesharim is probably Luzzato's most influential work, widely learned in virtually every yeshiva since the formal study of musar texts was introduced to the yeshiva curriculum by the Mussar Movement of Rabbi Yisroel Salanter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim of this work extends beyond the achievement of the perfection of human character in Divine service. Its stated aim is to remind the reader of one's deepest obligations in this regard, as well as to encourage the centrality of the deep study of this subject matter in one's daily life. Unlike many other musar books, which are ordered according to the authors' own lists of character traits, Luzzato builds his work on a Beraita in the name of the sage Pinchas ben Yair, whose list goes in order of accomplishment: \"Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair said: Torah leads to watchfulness; watchfulness leads to alacrity; alacrity leads to cleanliness; cleanliness leads to abstention; abstention leads to purity; purity leads to piety; piety leads to humility; humility leads to fear of sin; fear of sin leads to holiness; holiness leads to prophesy; prophecy leads to the resurrection of the dead\". Within each step, Luzzatto explains the step itself, its elements, how it can be acquired, and what might detract from its acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, Watchfulness can be acquired by setting aside time for introspection, and acquiring watchfulness can be impaired by excessive mundane responsibilities, wrong company, or a cynical stance in life. The same pattern is used for every single one of the traits mentioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\/SKU: 978-1-61704-595-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim Size: 6.000\" x 9.000\" (229mm x 152mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Color: White 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback: Case Laminate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate Type: Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count: 266\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SimchatChaim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52071427866990,"sku":"978-1-61704-595-0","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/3398\/4622\/files\/MesillatYesharim-RaMhal.jpg?v=1781883792"},{"product_id":"sefer-mivchar-hapeninim-a-choice-of-pearls-rabbi-solomon-ibn-gabirel-hardcover","title":"Sefer Mivchar HaPeninim: A choice of pearls - Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSefer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMivchar HaPeninim\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA choice of pearls\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis great Hebrew poet and philosopher was born in Malaga, Spain, about the year 4782, [1021], and died in Valencia, Spain, at the age of 36 or 37.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite his very short life, Rabbi Solomon ibn Gabirel won great fame during his own lifetime, and even more so after his death when his writings became more widely known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis father, Yehuda, was a native of the famous city of Cordova, which was at the time under Arab domination.

According to the Jewish Encyclopedia: Bahya combined in a rare degree the great depth of emotion, a vivid poetic imagination, the power of eloquence, and beauty of diction with a penetrating intellect; and he was therefore well fitted to write a work the main object of which was not to argue about and defend the doctrines of Judaism, but to appeal to the sentiments and to stir and elevate the hearts of the people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chovot HaLevavot became a popular book among the Jews throughout the world, and parts of it were once recited for devotional purposes during the days before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis works served as inspiration and foundation for many later Jewish writers, including Berachyah in his encyclopedic philosophical work Sefer Hahibbur [The Book of Compilation].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eASIN ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003eB086B9SY7Y\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ simchatchaim\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e464 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e979-8630014948\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e1.71 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e6 x 1.05 x 9 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eב\"ה\u003cbr\u003e\nאם אתה רוצה להדפיס ספר זה עם הקדשה למשהו, לרפואה שלימה, או לעילוי נשמת נשמת נפטר נוכל לעשות זאת בלי תוספת מחיר. ואם יש לך ספר בכל שפה מוכן להדפסה, נדפיס לך את הספר בלי עלות, והרווחים יהיו לך. לפרטים אנא צור איתנו קשר\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to print this book and dedicate it in honor or in memory of someone we can do it.

And among the captains of Titus, was one by the name of Sidror, who on his predatory search saw a mansion high and stately, and he entered it and appropriated all that was to be found therein. And while about to leave the premises he observed something unusual and suspicious in the construction of a certain wall, which led him to believe that there must be some treasure hidden away in a secret receptacle. The wall was accordingly torn down as also the entire building, whereupon Sidror discovered a secret passage, which he followed up and reached an underground chamber filled with a great many books, to-wit: Books of the Law, the Prophets and the Hagiography, as also histories of the kings of Israel and of the kings of other nations, and numerous other books concerning the people of Israel, with the authorized and accepted books of the Mishnah. Sidror saw there also lying around many manuscripts in scrolls. Outside of all these things the chamber contained rich stores of eatables and an abundant supply of wine. And in the midst of these books and supplies Sidror found an old man, deeply imbrued in study over some of the books. The soldier seeing that strange sight was greatly astonished, and addressed himself to the old man saying: What causeth thee to make thy abode in this place, and at that alone without anybody to attend thee? And the old man replied saying: It is now many days, years and seasons that I knew of the second destruction of Jerusalem to come, and therefore I had built unto myself this house with its subterranean chamber, and I have brought along with me these books to read in them, and I also took along a sufficient store of supplies to sustain my life, and I said: perhaps my soul might escape destruction by these means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\/SKU: 979-8-3496-0573-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim Size: 6.000\" x 9.000\" (229mm x 152mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Color: White 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback: Perfect Bound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate Type: Matte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count: 438\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SimchatChaim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52071681622382,"sku":"979-8-3496-0573-4","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/3398\/4622\/files\/1767212413_a40b1d8d-d417-41fb-a6fb-69488bbff2ce.png?v=1767213229"},{"product_id":"pirkei-derabbi-eliezer-chapter-of-the-great-rebbi-eliezer","title":"Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer - Chapter of the great Rebbi Eliezer","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePirkei DeRabbi Eliezer\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eChapter of the great Rebbi Eliezer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRebbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus,\u003cbr\u003eIn a new Zohar it is stated that Rebbi Eliezer was a reincarnation of Reuven the firstborn of Yaakov, and for this reason, the decree of ten martyrs who according to the Kabbalah was sentenced to the ten sages for being equal against the ten tribes who threw Yosef into the pit, did not apply to Rebbi Eliezer but only ordered to throw Yosef into the pit, and therefore threw Rebbi Eliezer into the pit but raised him afterward and did not kill him.\u003cbr\u003eIn the book of Bnei Yissachar it is stated that since Reuven was the one who always dealt with repentance for his sin that confused his father's performance, it is appropriate to rule like him when it comes to repentance, and because Rebbi Eliezer rules that the witnesses handed over This year - the time of writing, Yom Kippur - the time of signing, and Hoshana Rabba - which is the time of handing over the notes to the emissaries, it should be ruled that the time of repentance exists until Hoshana Rabba, and until then it is possible to repent and change the sentence.

Under this title, a Yiddish translation, from which the last chapter and some other passages were omitted, was printed at Isny in 1542, although the Hebrew original did not appear until some years later (Prague, 1581). Subsequently, however, the book was frequently printed in both languages. The author of the work is unknown, although Güdemann (Gesch. 3. 223) advances the very plausible hypothesis that he was Lipmann Mühlhausen. Most of the book is not original writing; it follows the order of \"The Improvement of the Moral Qualities\" by Solomon ibn Gabirol, adding paragraphs from many of Maimonides' works, and ideas from the famous ethical writings \"Shaarei Tshuva\" (by Rabbenu Yona of Gerona) and Chovot HaLevavot.The Orḥot Ẓaddiḳim, which was designed to be a very popular code of ethics, contains the following maxims among others: \"It is evil pride to despise others, and to regard one's own opinion as the best, since such an attitude bars progress, while egotism increases bitterness toward others and decreases thine own capability of improvement\" (ch. 1).\"Be just and modest in association with others, and practice humility even toward the members of the household, toward the poor, and toward dependents. The more property thou hast, the greater should be thy humility, and thy honor and beneficence toward mankind\" (ch. 2).\"Be kind to thy non-Jewish servants; make not their burdens heavy, nor treat them scornfully with contemptuous words or blows\" (ch. 8).\"Forget not the good qualities thou lackest and note thy faults; but forget the good that thou hast done, and the injuries thou hast received\" (ch. 20).\"Abash not him who hath a bodily blemish, or in whose family there is some stain. If one hath done evil and repented, name not his deed in his presence, even in jest, nor refer to a quarrel which has been ended, lest the dead embers be rekindled\" (ch. 21). In ch. 27. The author bitterly attacks the pilpul method of study, reproves his countrymen who engage in this method of Talmud study, and reproaches those who neglect the study of the Bible and of all sciences. According to Rabbi Gil Student, \"Orechos Tzadikim is an anonymous mussar sefer that has enjoyed a lasting impact on Judaism. Surprisingly, the sefer was never attributed to anyone...we can state with certainty that the author lived in or after the early 14th century. Despite being influenced by the German Chasidim, he was a follower of the French Ba’alei Ha-Tosafos. We can suggest that the author lived in the late 14th century in France or among French exiles, but not in Germany or Spain. There is speculation that the book was authored by a female, owing to the author's heavy reliance on biblical passages as sources and choosing to publish anonymously, though publishing anonymously may merely indicate the author's example of character development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\/SKU: 978-1-61704-610-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim Size: 6.000\" x 9.000\" (229mm x 152mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Color: White 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback: Perfect Bound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate Type: Matte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count: 474\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SimchatChaim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52071683785070,"sku":"978-1-61704-610-0","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/3398\/4622\/files\/SeferORCHOTTZADIKIM.jpg?v=1778852810"},{"product_id":"the-kuzari-book-jewish-philosophy","title":"The Kuzari Book - Jewish philosophy","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eKuzari Book\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eJewish philosophy - Dialogue on the religion of truth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRebbi Yehuda Halevi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy way of dialogues between the king of the Khazars, who is looking for a new religion, and the Jewish sage who describes Judaism to him, Rebbi Yehuda Halevi shows a whole foundation of the Jewish faith that is not based on cold philosophical logic, but on historical prophetic revelation, which does not contradict rational thinking here.

The book deals with Jewish ethics and laws of speech, and is considered the authoritative source on the subject. The title of the work Chafetz Chaim by Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan is taken from Psalms: Come, children, hearken to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is the man who desires life, who loves days to see goodness? Guard your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceitfully. Shun evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it. The subject of the book is Hilchos Shmiras Halashon [laws of clean speech]. Rabbi Kagan provides copious sources from the Torah, Talmud, and Rishonim [early commentators] about the severity of Jewish law on tale-mongering and gossip. Lashon hara, meaning evil speech [or loosely gossip and slander and prohibitions of defamation], is sometimes translated as prohibitions of slander, but in essence is concerning the prohibitions of saying evil\/bad\/unpleasant things about a person, whether or not they are true.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\/SKU: 979-8-2956-6043-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim Size: 6.000\" x 9.000\" (229mm x 152mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Color: White 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback: Perfect Bound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate Type: Matte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count:206\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SimchatChaim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52071688470894,"sku":"979-8-2956-6043-6","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/3398\/4622\/files\/CHOFETZCHAIM_35e750dd-7bed-467b-8b88-b4a7d4a3a36a.jpg?v=1772121618"},{"product_id":"the-improvement-of-the-moral-qualities-jewish-philosophy-hardback","title":"The Improvement of the Moral Qualities - Jewish Philosophy","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe Improvement\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eof the Moral Qualities\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eJewish Philosophy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePhilosopher Rabbi\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSolomon Ibn Gabirol\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel. This great Hebrew poet and philosopher was born in Malaga, Spain, about the year 4782 (1021), and died in Valencia, Spain, at the age of 36 or 37. Despite his very short life, Rabbi Solomon ibn Gabirel won great fame during his own lifetime, and even more so after his death when his writings became more widely known. His father, Yehuda, was a native of the famous city of Cordova, which was at the time under Arab domination. About ten years before Solomon's birth, when war broke out in that part of the Spanish peninsula, his father moved to Saragossa, also under Arab domination. Later, they moved to Malaga, where Rabbi Solomon was born. Losing his parents at an early age, Rabbi Solomon nevertheless continued his studies of the Talmud, in which he found his only solace. The young Rabbi Solomon was an ardent scholar and became very proficient in the Hebrew as well as the Arabic languages and grammar. He also studied astronomy, geometry, and philosophy. Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel began writing Hebrew poetry when he was very young. At the age of 16, he wrote a famous poem beginning with the words, \"I am the master, and Song is my slave.\" This poem, entitled \"Azharoth,\" is based on the Taryag (613) commandments of the Torah, and was included in the Shavuoth service of many congregations. In that year, the famous Rav Hal Gaon died in Babylon, and Solomon ibn Gabirel wrote four dirges (obituary poems) on the passing of this great scholar. Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel sang the praises of Rabbi Samuel Hanagid and also of another Jewish minister, Jekuthiel ibn Hasan of Saragossa. The latter became Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel's friend and patron. Unfortunately, Rabbi Ibn Hasan met with a violent death through a false accusation by his enemies. Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old at that time, composed a touching eulogy on the loss of his friend. A number of Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel's religious hymns were included in the prayer book. These include, in addition to \"Azharoth\" mentioned above, his \"Shir Hakovod\" (Song of Glory), and \"Shir Hayichud\" (Song of Unity). Another of his famous poems is \"Kether Malchuth\" (Royal Crown). Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel also wrote \"Kinoth\" (dirges) on the destruction of the Temple and the plight of Israel. The most famous book he wrote was The Improvement of the Moral Qualities. This book discusses Jewish philosophy of the soul and it relations to the four elements of the world. Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel's life was not a very happy one, for he was a lonesome young man with a sensitive soul. He did not hesitate to use his poetic gifts in denouncing the lack of Jewish feeling on the part of some prominent members of his community. As a result of this, he acquired many enemies who made life in Saragossa miserable for him. Eventually, Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel was banished from his native town and spent some years as a luckless wanderer, suffering many hardships. No wonder there is a touch of bitterness in his poems, but this is often coupled with a sense of humor. At the age of only 23, Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel wrote his book \"Tikkun Middoth Hanefesh,\" (Improvement of the Qualities of the Soul). About the same time, he also wrote \"Mivchar Hapeninim\" (Choice of Pearls). Both were written in Arabic and subsequently translated into Hebrew by Rabbi Yehuda ibn Tibbon. In these books, Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel presents a collection of moral sayings and maxims from Jewish as well as non-Jewish sources. The manner of Rabbi Solomon Ibn Gabirel's death is shrouded in mystery. Legend has it that he was trampled to death by an Arab horseman, much in the same way that Rabbi Yehuda Halevi lost his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\/SKU: 979-8-3303-7955-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim Size: 6.000\" x 9.000\" (229mm x 152mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Color: White 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback: Perfect Bound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate: Type Matte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count: 88\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"flex-grow-1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"SimchatChaim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52071709245806,"sku":"979-8-3303-7955-2","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/3398\/4622\/files\/TheImprovementoftheMoralQualities_b90b9f34-272b-483f-93a3-f64c17d947ce.jpg?v=1770760276"},{"product_id":"duties-of-the-heart-ravinu-bechay","title":"Chovot HaLevavot - Ravinu Bechay DUTIES OF THE HEART","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eChovot HaLevavot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDUTIES OF THE HEART\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eChovot HaLevavot or The Duties of the Hearts, is the primary work of the Jewish scholar Bahya ibn Paquda, a rabbi to have lived in the Taifa of Zaragoza in al-Andalus in the eleventh century.
