There’s a whole lot more to the Sephardic legacy than some hot and spicy, Middle-Eastern recipes for s’chug and kibbeh!

It’s no secret that Sephardic Jewry has a rich and unique heritage all of their own, with the crown jewels being the towering Sephardic hachamim whose holiness and greatness in Torah were renowned throughout the entire Jewish world. Now, with the release of Ben Ish Hai, you can get a close-up view of the life and times of one of the most famous of these gedolim: the Ben Ish Hai, Rabbenu Yosef Haim.

Author Yehuda Azoulay has long been known for his beautiful books on the Sephardic hachamim. As the author of A Legacy of Leaders Volumes I and II, as well as founder of the Sephardic Legacy Series, he has made it his goal to make known to the Jewish world the greatness of our Sephardic Torah leaders. In Ben Ish Hai, Azoulay paints an accurate and vivid portrait of the Ben Ish Hai in a most compelling way.

You’ll be amazed at the life of this holy tzaddik; the brilliance of his halachic responsa, his prolific writings, his humility, yiras Shamayim, and ruah hakodesh. You’ll be awed by the stories you’ll read which depict the high level of holiness on which the Ben Ish Hai led his life. You’ll be enlightened, inspired…and proud to be part of the nation of this great man.

Keep the spiritual high of the Yamim Noraim aflame. Invest in a book that will inspire you to no end—Ben Ish Hai.

“Mommy, look! That girl is in a wheelchair!”

As parents, few comments of our kids make us cringe the way announcements such as the above do. Of course, such comments are usually accompanied by loud stage-whispers and lots of finger-pointing at the handicapped child, as our kids struggle to comprehend such a different-looking human being.

But what if our children understood that “different-looking” doesn’t necessarily mean “different”? What if they could accept the fact that those with handicaps can be just as fun, friendly, and on-the-ball as any of them?

That is the aim of our newest kids’ book, Don’t Judge By What You See. An adorable story told in rhymes, Don’t Judge By What You See clearly conveys to children the important lesson of not judging those whom they see—especially those with physical handicaps—by their externals, but rather seeing people for who they truly are inside. Written by Ashira Greenberg, who herself has cerebral palsy, and stunningly illustrated by artist Racheli Edelstein, this book is one that all responsible, thinking parents will want to buy for their children.

It’s rare when a manuscript is so gut-wrenching yet simultaneously heartwarming, that it causes editors, proofreaders, and typesetters alike to cry while working on it. Rare—but it does occasionally occur, as it did with The Freedom to Be.
At nearly 700 pages long, The Freedom to Be is a whopper of a novel, but we guarantee that while reading it, you won’t ever feel the book’s true length. You will become so engrossed in it, so intertwined with the lives, thoughts, and feelings of Efraim, Shoshana, Hadassah, Duvid’l, and all the other characters, so involved in every nuance of the beautifully-written plot—that time will cease to exist for you as you read, and the pages will just slip by…
Trust me—I speak from experience, having made the (unwise) decision to read this book at night. Suffice it to say that it was a very tired me who showed up at work the next day!
But it was worth it—as you will see for yourself. The Freedom to Be is not your typical novel. It is a tear-jerker, an exhilarating pleasure for your mind, and a literary delight all at once. It takes “reading a novel” to a new level, making it into an actual experience, one that you will relish and savor for a long time afterward…
This Sukkos, treat yourself to THE novel of the season…of the year…of our times. The Freedom to Be: not your ordinary novel.
