A Gift For Yom Tov
A Gift for Yom Tov: Insights on the Jewish Festivals by Rabbi Yisroel Miller A Gift for Yom Tov by Rabbi Yisroel Miller, published by Mesorah Publishers (ArtScroll), is a 249-page English hardcover collection of provocative and penetrating insights on the Jewish festivals that has been serving as exactly what its title promises since its 1998 publication. At $29.99, Rabbi Miller delves into the lessons of Pesach, Shavuos, Succos, Chanukah, and Purim and shows how they have things to say to everyone, every day, producing the kind of Torah thought book that the reader picks up with curiosity, works through with consistent interest and frequent smiles, and puts down with the feeling that it is as fine a Gift for Yom Tov as they have ever received.
