The famed Maharal of Prague, a 16th-century mystic, is known for the legend of the Golem, but his Torah scholarship has remained a closed book to English speakers for far too long. While several attempts have been made to translate or abridge the Maharal’s Torah, the complexity of his thought has defied standard translation methodologies. This edition of the Tiferet Yisrael (the Splendor of Israel) seeks to present the Maharal’s thought in all its majesty and to enable beginners and scholars alike to grasp the overall structure of the Maharal’s concepts through the addition of innovative summaries and graphical aids. In the work, the Maharal contemplates questions of Jewish life, such as How can there be ritually observant Jews who behave immorally? What is the reason for performing Mitzvot (commandments)? Is there any relevance or meaning to performing Mitzvot if one doesn’t understand God’s reasons for commanding them? What is the path to self-fulfillment? The translation is lucid and faithful, with in-line comments to guide the reader in exploring the Maharal’s depths.

Shema Yisrael is unique in the annals of Holocaust literature. Compiled under the auspices of the Kaliver Rebbe, shlita, himself a survivor of Hitler's inferno, it is a collection of more than 500 first-person accounts of mesirus nefesh, self-sacrifice, under the direst conditions. This encyclopedic work includes hundreds of photos, and the biographies and pictures of 150 communal leaders, rebbes, and scholars who perished in those terrible days of wrath. The legacy of European Jews was stolen from them; what remains for us, their heirs, is the knowledge of their sacrifice, generosity of spirit, and unshakeable faith - a precious legacy to be handed down to the next generation.

First published in 1943, Eim HaBanim Semeichah remains the most comprehensive treatise on Eretz Yisrael, redemption, and Jewish unity. Much of this remarkable work has been proven prophetic by the passage of time. It is truly a priceless treasure.The saintly author, R. Yisachar Shlomo Teichtal, originally shared the prevalent, Orthodox view which discouraged the active return to Zion. The Holocaust, however, profoundly changed his perspective. The annihilation of unprecedented numbers of his fellow Jews forced him to seek explanations. Thus, relying almost exclusively on his phenomenal memory and keen insight, he investigated the matter exhaustively. His conclusions are eye-opening! The Jewish people will find refuge from their troubles, he argues, only if they unite to rebuild the Land. This will bring about the ultimate redemption.
