The purpose of this Sefer is to provide the English-speaking public the full breadth of Halachic and Hashkafic knowledge on everything related to the subject of intimacy. This book is primarily a compilation of Halachic rulings and sources which are scattered throughout the Talmud and Poskim, as well as the acts of piety recorded in the Sifrei Mussar and Kabbalah. Gathering all this Halachic information compiled from hundreds of sources into a single book, will allow the reader to research any questions he may have relating to marital intimacy, as sensitive and shy as it may be. Another aspect of this book is the delineation of the proper perspective that a Jew should have towards intimacy according to Torah and the classical works of Mussar and Kabbalah. There is a unique Jewish philosophy recorded regarding intimacy, and being indoctrinated with this perspective is as important as the study of the laws themselves. With this book we desire to encourage Jewish couples to perform intimacy in a most pious and holy manner, and to give them the knowledge to differentiate between law and stringency so they can know when and where they maintain the flexibility to be lenient, if needed. We aspire that the raising of the level of Kedusha that this book is set to influence will have a long and lasting effect on the current and coming generation, meriting the Jewish people with pure and holy children.

Since ancient times, Judaism has offered a wide range of approaches on the matter of sexual expression within marriage, reflecting a wide range of interpretation and sensibility, and theoretically enabling each and every couple to tailor the law of this most intimate and private part of life to the unique physical and spiritual dimensions of their relationship. But a study of the sources reveals a trend in the last few hundred years to downplay, or even deny, Torah's embrace of sexual exploration within marriage, generally revealing to the masses only its most puritanical approach. This study opens up Judaism's sacred texts on sex to the English reader, providing an in-depth analysis of the relevant Talmudic-era passages as well as the medieval, post-medieval and latter-day Jewish commentaries and legal authorities.

The Mitzvah of Tefillin is one of the oldest and most well cherished Mitzvos amongst world Jewry. What many don't know, are the myriads of detailed laws associated with this Holy Mitzvah and tradition. For example: What is the greatness of the mitzvah? How was this mitzvah originally fulfilled? Can someone put on Tefillin after sunset? What about a person who doesn't have a shirt? What is the correct order of wearing Tefillin and where are the exact areas that it should be worn on the arm and head? What about someone who's a lefty or ambidextrous? Should a blessing be repeated if I went to the bathroom? Why do some people wear Tefillin of Rabbeinu Tam, and what is the law if I accidentally put it on before Rashi? what are the detailed laws of respecting the Tefillin? Can I eat with them, can I sleep with them, and can I simply talk while wearing them? Can I take it with me into an airport bathroom? How do I purchase a Kosher and Mehudar pair of Tefillin? How do I upkeep the maintenance of my Tefillin? What are the essential laws relevant to a Sofer and the writing of Parshiyos? What are the detailed Kashrus laws of the Batim and straps? What are things that are important to know during Mivtzaim? In this Sefer we tackle all the above issues and many more, all concisely explained and clarified within 9 chapters, that include a directive of practical Halacha, and encyclopedic Halachic background knowledge of the cases at hand. This Sefer is revolutionary, and is a must have for every Shul and Minyan in order to facilitate finding clear and proper Halachic guidance that will ensure that the Mitzvah of Tefillin in their Shul is performed properly and with its due honor and respect!

Tznius -- modesty -- is an integral facet of Jewish life. In a world where modesty is recognized more by its absence than by its presence, there has never been a greater need for a definitive work on this vital quality. But what precisely are the laws of modesty, what are its parameters, where are its applications? In this long-awaited work, the laws and ideology of modesty are tackled in an exhaustive and comprehensive manner. All the laws of Tznius, whether in dress or behavior, speech and social interaction, are collated and explained in the clear and lucid manner that is characteristic of the author. -- Back cover.

The study of Shulchan Aruch at times is very challenging in terms of clarifying the ‎final stance of the learned subject. This especially applies in instances that many cases ‎and opinions exist within a given topic. In addition, throughout the generations ‎hundreds of practical questions on the laws in Shulchan Aruch arose. Even amongst ‎the currently available English literature, the opinion of the greatest of the Achronim, ‎the Shulchan Aruch Harav, is many times omitted or not given its proper presence. ‎This Sefer tackles all the above deficiencies. A clear summary of the rulings of ‎Shulchan Aruch Harav, in the order of his Shulchan Aruch, together with hundreds of ‎practical Q&A that were compiled from classical Halachic sources. All this is ‎compiled with an emphasis of the Chabad custom and informative footnotes that lend ‎the reader background information and other opinions voiced on the subject matter. The current Sefer is a thorough summary of the first seven chapters in Shulchan Aruch and chapters 46-47, and covers all the ‎laws relevant to morning conduct. Follows the rulings of the Shulchan Aruch Harav with Chabad Minhagim. ‎Contains a wealth of fascinating footnotes that gives the reader great background knowledge, useful and ‎interesting information, and a glimpse of opinions held by other Poskim, such as the Michaber and Mishneh ‎Berurah. Contains Hundreds of practical Q&A with insights from Chassidus and Kabala!‎It covers questions such as:‎In what position of the hands did the Rebbe Rayatz state one is to perform Modeh Ani?‎Is one to cover his Neigal Vasser prior to sleep?‎May one delay the Bracha of Netilas Yadayim until after Mikveh?‎How is one to get dressed-up to down or down to up?‎Must one wash hands after cutting another person's nails?‎May one enter a dollar bill into the bathroom?‎May one recite Birchas Hashachar prior to morning?‎And hundreds more of practical questions that have been compiled from the sea of Poskim all with an ‎emphasis on the opinion of the Alter Rebbe and the aged Chabad custom.‎Haskamas were assigned to the book by leading Chabad Rabbanim.‎
