To appreciate the necessity of this publication, consider the following excerpt from the letters of Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman (Ramban):
"Since our blood nourishes the body and influences the development and condition of all its organs, as well as a person’s character—and since blood formation corresponds to the nature of the food we eat—therefore, the Blessed One, in His holy Torah, has protected us and forbidden the consumption of certain types of food. Some of these are prohibited because they dull the heart, such as forbidden fat (chelev) and animal blood. Others foster cruelty in a person, such as the meat of predatory animals and birds. Some destroy wisdom and understanding, like pork, rabbit, hare, and reptiles. And some lead to serious illnesses, like insects and earth- and water-dwelling worms. Summing up all these prohibitions, the Torah tells us: ‘Do not defile your souls’—thus teaching us that all these forbidden foods produce blood that is predisposed and susceptible to various forms of harm.”

Reality and Illusion
It was originally written for Russian-speaking Jews who are striving to reconnect with their spiritual heritage and tradition, despite having been cut off from them, and for whom the questions of life’s meaning and the rational basis of existence are of utmost importance.
At the same time, this book will certainly be valuable for those already living a Jewish life and seeking structured knowledge about the foundations and reasoning behind Judaism.
It may also be of interest to scholars in the field of theology. And anyone with a spiritual inclination—someone trying to understand the world around them and their place within it—will find answers to many of their questions in this book.

Rabbi Asher Kushnir is one of the most prominent Russian-speaking rabbis and lecturers. His video and audio lessons have garnered hundreds of thousands of views, and his books have become bestsellers. He possesses deep knowledge of Torah—spanning Talmud, Scripture, Jewish thought, and the mystical tradition. One of the greatest rabbis of our generation and a master of Kabbalah, Rabbi Moshe Shapiro, of blessed memory, once wrote about him: “We spent much time learning together.”
Rabbi Asher Kushnir was born in 1956 in the city of Chernivtsi. He earned a degree in physics and worked in the Akademgorodok research center in Novosibirsk. After immigrating to Israel in 1983, he served in the IDF and worked for a private computer firm.
He received his religious education at the Ohr Somayach and Mir yeshivas, and studied under the well-known Israeli rabbi Yosef Ben Porat.
Since the 1990s, Rabbi Kushnir has been teaching in various religious programs throughout Israel: to Russian-speaking students at Machon Lev (Jerusalem College of Technology), in the Tikvateinu Ulpan, and at the Ashrei Ish yeshiva. For many years, he has also taken part in seminars run by organizations such as Arachim, Miktzeh HaAretz, Toldot Yeshurun, and others.

KOHELET With Russian Translation and Commentary
The Russian-language text presented here was compiled by Rabbi Elazar Nezdatny based on the commentary Divrei Kohelet by Rabbi Yechiel Aryeh Munk of Rehovot, along with insights from other classic commentaries.

According to Jewish tradition (Bava Batra 15a), the author of the Book of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes), as well as the books of Shir HaShirim (Song of Songs) and Mishlei (Proverbs), was King Shlomo (Solomon). However, these books were recorded several centuries later by his descendant, King Hezekiah of Judah. The three books are thematically interconnected: Kohelet deals with choosing a path in life—the path of wisdom; Mishlei explains how to walk that path; and Shir HaShirim reveals the connection between the people of Israel and the Almighty—a connection that helps one stay on the right path.
Every book of Tanach is best studied with classic commentaries, and Kohelet is particularly challenging. Most commentaries treat it not as a unified work but as a collection of wise sayings. For this reason, even comprehensive commentators such as Abarbanel and Malbim largely avoided commenting on Kohelet.
Rabbi Munk successfully tackled this complex challenge. By compiling insights from many well-known classical interpretations, he created a consistent and cohesive commentary on the Book of Kohelet.

The theme and overarching message of the book are known to us through the interpretations of the Talmudic sages. However, understanding the text is often difficult due to the unclear connections between individual verses (pesukim) and the book’s unusual word choices. Rabbi Munk’s commentary helps greatly in overcoming these difficulties.

Rabbi Chaim ben Moshe Ibn Attar (known as Or HaChaim, 1696–1743 / 5456–5503) was a renowned Torah commentator and one of the spiritual leaders of his generation.
According to the teachings of the Kabbalists, he carried the soul of the great sage of Tzfat, Rabbi Moshe Cordovero.
He was born in the Moroccan city of Salé into a wealthy family of Spanish descent. He studied Torah under his grandfather, Rabbi Chaim Ibn Attar, for whom he was named.
After completing his studies, Rabbi Chaim established a yeshiva in his home and taught there. He dedicated a significant portion of his resources to charity. In 1732 (5492), while still living in Salé, his first book Chefetz Hashem (The Desire of G-d), a collection of his chiddushim—analytical insights on the Talmud—was published in Amsterdam.
Later, Rabbi Chaim Ibn Attar moved to the larger city of Meknes, and subsequently to Fez, an ancient spiritual center of Moroccan Jewry.

The Book of Job
The Book of Job belongs to the Writings (Ketuvim) and is not considered prophetic. Its language is notably complex. In some ways, it resembles the Book of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes): both describe the existential dilemma faced by a person who takes life seriously, believes in an omnipotent and just G-d, yet finds no confirmation of that belief in the reality around them.
Rabbi Elazar Nezdatny, who spent many years studying the Book of Job and teaching it to numerous students, took on what seemed like an impossible task—creating a Russian-language commentary that allows the reader to follow the text as a coherent narrative rather than a series of disjointed poetic verses.
Rabbi Nezdatny based his work on the commentary of the Malbim, a great 19th-century Torah scholar who lived in Europe.

Job was one of the wealthiest men of his time. He had everything one could dream of—a large and loving family, health, wealth, and honor. He was happy, and he was righteous. And then, out of nowhere, disaster struck. His children died in a tragic accident, his vast herds of livestock perished, and he himself was afflicted with a terrible illness.
How did he cope with these overwhelming trials? Did he cope at all?
Today, unfortunately, the topic of suffering and hardship has once again become deeply relevant. And once again, the questions raised by this book have become our own: “Why is this happening to us?”, “Why now?”, “Why me?”
These are the very questions Job asked. These are the questions humanity has asked throughout its long and painful history. These are the questions we ask now.
The Book of Job, built around a discussion between Job and his friends about the justice of Divine governance, explores these deeply complex issues from multiple perspectives, presenting a range of philosophical approaches.
In the end, Job finds his answers. And with G-d’s help, so will we—with the aid of this book, which was written precisely for that purpose. Unlike other translations and commentaries on the Book of Job, this edition—based on the explanations of the Malbim—offers readers a clear picture of what happened, including both the causes and the consequences.

The Passover Haggadah is one of the oldest texts of the Oral Torah. It opens with a fundamental question: “Mah Nishtanah?”—How is this night different from all other nights? The Vilna Gaon offers a profound explanation of this question. In general, mitzvot are performed during the day. So what makes the night of Passover so unique that the primary commandments of the first day of Pesach are fulfilled at night?
The Haggadah weaves together all the mitzvot of the Passover night into a unified whole. Though brief in length, the Haggadah is rich in meaning, encompassing all levels of Torah interpretation—Pardes: from the simple to the deeply hidden mystical dimensions. Every year, the Jewish people return to the Haggadah, delving into its text and drawing on the Oral and Written Torah to relive and transmit the greatness of G-d’s miracles in the Exodus from Egypt and to explain the mitzvot of this sacred night.
The greatest sages of our people have written countless commentaries on the Haggadah.
Conducting the Passover Seder requires thorough preparation, including the study of the opening chapters of the Book of Shemot (Exodus) with commentaries and midrashim describing the Exodus from Egypt.

Tractate Makkot
Tractate Makkot (literally “Blows”) is part of the Nezikin order (“Damages”), which deals with civil law topics such as compensation for damages, credit and commerce, legal procedure, inheritance, and more.
Tractate Makkot consists of three chapters. The first discusses edim zomemim—malicious witnesses who deliberately give false testimony in court. The second chapter addresses the issue of cities of refuge, designated places where a person who accidentally committed manslaughter would be exiled.
The third chapter, which gives the tractate its name, focuses on the Torah-prescribed form of corporal punishment—lashes.

Pirkey Avot
Pirkei Avot is the last of the nine tractates in the fourth order of the Mishnah, Nezikin (“Damages”). It is a collection of sayings by the Tannaim—the sages of the Torah who lived between the 3rd century BCE and the 3rd century CE.
Many interpret the title as Ethics of the Fathers, understanding “fathers” to refer to the authors of the teachings compiled in the tractate. Others translate the title as Chapters of Fundamental Principles (of Wisdom), drawing on the multifaceted meaning of the Hebrew word av—which can mean father, source, or foundation.
The core of the tractate is ethical instruction, offering guidance on the path a person should follow in life.
