On the spot

Everyone wants to be "kind". But becoming a truly kind person takes effort. Actually, it's a finely cultivated art. JWR presents an English-language adaptation of the Holy Tongue bestseller, Ahavas Chesed. Its author, Rabbi Yisroel Meir Kagan, known as the "Chofetz Chaim", was one of the most influential rabbis of the first third of the 20th Century.

Start or end you day with words that will make you better without making you feel bad or guilty!

NEW SERIES !
"Serenity" by internationally renowned author and lecturer Rabbi Zelig Pliskin. This series fills one of the critical needs of our time. Words like stress, road rage, and tension have come to symbolize the strains and pressures of modern life. The author is a master at dealing with them --- in practical, realistic, "doable" ways.
