39 Melochos
Reviewed by Chana Tova Sokol from Jerusalem

This set of books was read page by page at our Shabos Seudas Shlishi table week after week to completion. The pictures create clarity. The prose made reader and listeners glued to the text, because of the skilled writing. The scholarship by Rav Dovid Ribiat used to cover the intricate and holy laws of Shabbath, according to poskim we spoke with, is stellar like an arrow hitting its mark with a bull's eye.
I have given this set of books as gifts for wedding couples and bar mitzvah with grateful recipients!
