Description
“I do not know of a better compendium of Jewish Law than Peninei Halakha by Harav Eliezer Melamed shlita. The clarity and organization of the legal requirements of Judaism makes the study of Jewish Law most pleasurable for any interested student. I recommend it with all my heart.” (HaRav Shlomo Riskin)
“Peninei Halachah” is a series of books on Jewish Law (halachah) by Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, Rosh Yeshiva and Rabbi of the community Har Bracha.The series “Peninei Halachah” is a unique and comprehensive creation of books on halachah. The series passes on the tradition of generations of halachic decisions in a refreshing, Israel-spirited fashion – “aged and choice wine in a new and beautiful vessel”. Befitting the generation of the “Ingathering of the Exiles” and the beginning of the Redemption, the books are written in a clear and modernized language, clarifying the halachot with their spiritual meanings, and relating to the customs of the various ethnic groups. The halachot are explained starting from the general rules down to the minor details, with an emphasis on relevant issues which have arisen in the modern era. Thus, the books help to strengthen the obsevance of halachah amongst the Jewish nation to serve as a bridge between the Heavenly morals and everyday life, and to add love for the Torah amongst those who study halachah.
Until now, twelve books have been published in the series. Over 400,000 books from the series “Peninei Halachah” are studied in thousands of homes and educational institutions in Israel.
The series is currently being translated into English, French, Russian and Spanish.
So far, three Books have been translated into English: Tefilah, Pesach and Zemanim.

Hara Me lamed is very educational and to the point on halacha combined with Hashkafah. On every mitzvah he explains "why we do it" and "how it came about ". He (almost) has no personal interests on the way he rules other than Zionism subjects.
