Foreword to the publication of translation

We offer you a Russian translation of the first volume of the collection of the laws of Shabbat, a Hebrew in "Meorot Ashabat" (מאורות השבת).

The original, which enjoys the unusually high demand Israel-virus is arranged as follows: Each year, the laws are related to certain topics sabbatical. In the first year of publication, so those were Mami, "lighting candles", "kiddush," meal "," completion of the Sabbath-you "(they make up the content of this book.)

In this case, the book is divided into weekly sections of the Torah so that a Jewish family had the opportunity to read for the Shabbat table a certain passage.

The Israelis are reading these passages for several years. For each Saturday are two passages: one for reading during the evening meal, the second - during the morning meal. Read any passage lasts several minutes, after which these laws can be discussed. Since Jews do not just spend a pleasant time for a table full of festive food, not only sing the wonderful Shabbat songs - but also learn.

Reading a book a week Sukkot begins and lasts for a year.

Important notes and observations we present in the form of footnotes of each page. A more in-depth explanations and links to sources are given at the end of the book without translation, ie in Hebrew [to them indicates the numbering in square brackets].

The second part of this book is a collection of Saturday's texts, which includes songs that are sung for the Shabbat table, praying Islands "Birkat Amazon" in two versions - for Ashkenazi and Sephardic s-Reev; Kiddush - evening and morning, and Awdal.

All these texts are given in the original and in translation as well as in co-spending transliteration (when the Jewish reading of the text Zaphod-sated Russian letters).
