Observance of the holidays has been our heritage throughout the generations. However, each generation experiences new halachic circumstances and conditions that require fresh Torah study and application.

In Hilchot Chagim, the former Chief Rabbi of Israel, the Rishon L'Tzion, Hagaon Harav Mordechai Eliyahu shlit"a, presents before the reader virtually all of the laws that are pertinent to the Jewish holidays, both in the Land of Israel and the Diaspora. Written in clear, easy-to-read language, this all-encompassing book notes the differences between various traditions, and is intended for both Sepharadim and Ashkenazim.

Originally published in Hebrew, we are now pleased to present this English edition, which has been thoroughly revised and includes many new, previously unpublished, decisions.
