Books as a means of transmitting tradition
Books on Judaism
The role of books in the life of the Jewish people cannot be overstated
  • Jewish books are the primary vehicle for transmitting Jewish tradition
  • That is why every person has a mitzvah to write a Sefer Torah
  • The purpose of this mitzvah is to ensure that the Torah is always available for study
  • Publishing books on the Torah is a fulfillment of this mitzvah
The great importance of publishing books
Why is it especially important today to publish books on Judaism in Russian?
  • Russian-speaking Jews, who were forcibly separated from their roots, especially need books on Judaism in order to reconnect with their heritage
  • Thank G-d, the number of Russian-speaking Jews interested in Jewish tradition is steadily growing
  • The prophets and sages foretold a great return to Judaism in the time leading up to the coming of the Mashiach
  • It is critically important to support those returning to their roots on their journey. This contributes to the Geulah, and publishing books is one of the key tools for offering that support
