New Hope for your Marriage

Introducing The Garden of Peace

The Garden of Peace by Rabbi Shalom Arush and translated by Rabbi Lazer Brody is the English-language version of B’Gan HaShalom, a book that has become an overnight best-seller in Israel. This is an amazingly enjoyable and practical guidebook for men that want to be winning husbands. An old adage says that winners don’t need to make excuses why they won the game, yet losers are full of excuses why they lost the game. In that vein, Rabbi Shalom Arush’s track record is no less than phenomenal – he’s a winning marital coach with a better track record than any marital counselor alive. His advice, girded firmly in the foundations of Talmudic and Jewish esoteric thought, is crystal clear and reader friendly. Any man that implements Rabbi Shalom’s advice is bound to see a major subsequent improvement in his marriage. This book will undoubtedly improve your marriage too. Whether you’ve already celebrated your Golden Anniversary or whether you’ve just started to contemplate marriage, The Garden of Peace will quickly become your trusty companion and guide.

The Geula: Ever so Close

It's all coming down. The various prophecies about the Geula (the full redemption of our people) that appear throughout the Gemara have been fulfilled to the letter. So why is Hashem prolonging the exile?

Rebbe Nachman of Breslev says (Likutei Moharan I:7), that the exile and diaspora are perpetuated because of a lack of emuna. For that reason, Rav Shalom Arush and I have dedicated our lives to spreading emuna in the world.

Emuna Outreach is doing everything in its power to make emuna books and CDs readily accessible to everyone. Despite the fact the the dollar has lost 26% in value during this past year, we haven't raised prices. How? We've been working day and night to find less expensive alternatives for our printing and CD recording, and we've been printing in much greater amounts. All these savings have been passed on to our consumers. Thanks to our wonderful supporters, we've not only sent spiritual care packages of books and CDs to border settlements, to the spiritual rehab program of local prisons, and not only to the IDF, but also to the US forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and more recently to Korea.

Now, we're taking another step forward for our private consumers. We have separated the shipping expenses from the book and CD prices. So, all unit prices are lower. On top of that, Emuna Outreach is now providing free international airmail shipping to anywhere in the world for orders over $25. For orders over $150, Emuna Outreach is providing free EMS (4-business-day) shipping.

As you'll notice on the top right-hand toolbar, we now have sets of 20 CDs each packed in an attractive CD carrying case and also at a considerable discount.

Rav Shalom Arush says that the greatest lovingkindness a person can do in this generation is to help someone strengthen emuna. Today, that's a simple mitzva - just hand the person an emuna CD or a copy of The Garden of Emuna.

The faster we spread emuna, the quicker we'll see our own personal redemption, as well as the national redemption of our people, very soon, amen!

The Garden of Peace: Coming Soon!

With Hashem's loving grace, Rav Shalom Arush and I have wonderful news: the English translation of his runaway best-selling marital guide for men "B'Gan HaShalom" went to press today.

In English, the book is entitled "The Garden of Peace." Rav Shalom has been gathering the material for years; one of the greatest gifts in my life has been the privilege of being Rav Shalom's understudy and English-language voice-piece. For those that don't know, he has the greatest track record of any marital counselor alive, having saved thousands of marriages - I've seen this time and again with my own eyes. Soon, this wellspring of knowledge will be available to the English reader, we hope within four weeks, G-d willing. You'll be able to obtain the book online right here at the Beams.

MiPeninei Noam Elimelech

Here's wonderful news for English-speaking lovers of Chassidic thought and folklore. For the first time ever, you can now obtain a delightful collection of "pearls" from the writings of the famed Chassidic master, Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk. This monumental work is the product of a rising star in contemporary Chassidic research, Rabbi Tal Moshe Zwecker of Ramat Bet Shemesh. We here at the Beams have had the privilege of a sneak preview of Rabbi Zwecker's outstanding work, and are pleased and proud to give this important book our wholehearted recommendation and endorsement. This book will give a new dimension to the English-speaking Shabbat table, as well as enable English speakers to taste the beauty and sweetness of classical chassidus.

We extend our prayers and blessings for Rabbi Zwecker, that Hashem will enable him to continue to spread the light of the Baal Shem Tov and his disciples in the world, amen.

The Worry Worm Read-along

Children are highest priority here at Emuna Outreach. That's what motivated Kalcom Publishing and us to make such a major effort in publishing our first children's book. Thanks to The Worry Worm's talented writer and illustrator Rebecca Shapiro, we also had a beautiful Sunday-morning Worry Worm book-reading with the children of Hamilton, Ontario. So, call your children and have your own Sunday-morning Worry Worm read-along, and follow along us Uncle Lazer reads. What, your children don't yet have a copy of The Worry Worm? What are you waiting for? Enjoy!

Great Review for The Worry Worm

The Worry Worm has received a wonderful review in the Jewish Press. Reviewer Yocheved Golani writes, "This first entry in the debuting Little Lazer series of emunah educational materials is a must-have for anyone who loves little ones, and is a lap-sized charmer for the whole family, classroom and pediatrician’s office." See the whole article here.

We Warmly Welcome The Worry Worm!

With Hashem's everloving grace, Kalcom Publishing and Emuna Outreach are proud to introduce The Worry Worm, the first of an exciting new series of Children's books aimed at children between the ages of 2 to 200. The Worry Worm is a wonderful, non-denominational story by Lazer that brings the concept of emuna to a level that 3 and 4 year-olds can understand, as well as strengthen the emuna of adults as well. Lazer's story about two worms in an apple has been beautifully written to rhyme and illustrated by Rebecca Shapiro of Hamilton, Ontario. G-d willing, the book is now available on line here at Emuna Beams and at Lazer Beams. Judging from the warm reactions of our test readers - children, teachers, and parents on both sides of the Atlantic - The Worry Worm will find its way into many homes and many hearts, G-d willing.

With Hashem's help, The Worry Worm isn't a one-time flash in the pan, but the first of Kalcom's new "Little Lazer" series. Kalcom is doing its part to help Emuna Outreach further its child-outreach program that's aimed at teaching emuna to children. If there're no lambs, there're no rams.

The Worry Worm, like Rebecca Shapiro says, is a book for growing kids with growing minds.

Introducing Chassidic Pearls - now in book form!

With infinite praise to Hashem, Kalcom Publishing and Emuna Outreach are delighted to announce the debut of Chassidic Pearls in an exquisite softcover edition. Kalcom's graphic artist Iris Berkowitz designed the cover, that shows light emanating from a pearl in all directions, with a map of the Ukrainian Jewish villages (shetlach) in the background. We certainly hope that Chassidic Pearls will be a welcome addition to your book shelf and to your Shabbat table.

I want to express my deep gratitude to my dear friend Kalcom publisher Yaakov "Eddie" Kalati, Rebbetzin Debbie Shapiro, editor of BreslovWorld and a superb author and writer in her own right, and to Emuna Outreach's dedicated and talented staffer and proofreader from Chicago, Rachel Tzipporah Salkover for all their assistance in making Chassidic Pearls a reality.

You can order your copy of Chassidic Pearls from the upper right-hand toolbar, right here on this site.
