    I didn’t know he was a rabbi. All books I have of his just say Avraham Yaakov Finkel…

    Yes, I know he is an elderly man. He translated the entire Ein Yaakov, has done a translation of the Mishneh Torah, the Maharsha of the Talmudic aggada, and loads more. If only I had the yeshiva’s email… can’t believe they don’t have a website…

    That is a very long post…

    All I will say, is the Steipler Gaon said no sefer can be popular and accepted if the author did not write lishma.

    I don’t doubt the mesorah.

    Actually – 2 malachim, according to the Me’am Loez. They straighten your day. But only if your first thoughts of the day are positive, pure, and holy. But careful not to think Torah thoughts before the beracha Lasok b’divrei Torah.

    Wishing again, rachamin for the family.

    I have his 3 volumes on the chumash. Brilliant books and chidushei Torah. That’s why i wanted his Tanach commentary too!

    Thanks for that.

    I was hoping for an email address as I live on the other side of the world. I haven’t been able to find an email for the yeshiva too… or an actual website… I wanted to contact him via them…

    The Chofetz Chaim says in very strong words, one who has a clean mouth, tries to avoid badmouthing and gossiping, has their road smoothed, their prayers heard quickly, and has great merit.

    I assure that reading Artscroll’s A Lesson a Day – which combines Chofetz Chaim and Shmiras Haloshon together – will have positive effects as though Tehillim was read. He will know you have read it, and if your heart is right, will certainly speak on behalf.

    Never heard of bookfinder but just spent a fun half hour using it. Found some books in countries I’ve never looked at. But the prices are super steep. Ranging from $200-600. Even $1000!! I bet the Alshich Tanach books retailed at $30 when they came out.

    ???

    As I said above, I don’t have the english translation of the book. How then can I copy it?

    I also said I would like to contact the author but don’t have his details.

    Majoram the herb.

    Intriguing… Anyone heard of this, or can ask rebbeim at your end for me? I know salt on the table sweetens judgenent but… what significance is majoram?

    Thanks for the replies.

    I spoke with the publishe. Jason Aronson was bought over by Rowan. Cosmic irony, they have all books but Sefer Chasidim. That alone reverted back to the author, Avraham Yaakov Finkel.

    I would like to contact him as well – I am very interested in his works – but don’t know how.

    Since it came out at $50 I would pay at least that much. But bear in mind living in Australia that will be another $26 shipping.

    Sefer Chasidim is a book frequently quoted in mussar, mystical and halachic discussions; and I’d very much like to read the Torah thoughts of a holy man who coukd bring the departed back to life, even temporarily.
