Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen has earned renown as an authority in Halachah as it applies to the questions and dilemmas of modern life. Now he continues the trailblazing accomplishment of his distinguished earlier works, on the laws of Shabbos and the unique questions of child-rearing. What do you do if you are in the street and feel something in your pocket? How do you deal with an embarrassing stain on your jacket or dress? How do you pay the babysitter who comes on Shabbos? Safety pins, fasteners, velcro -- are there questions of "sewing"? How and when may packages be opened? There are any number of questions that require knowledge of the halachic principles and how to apply them. This is Rabbi Cohen's forte. He is a master at taking the mystery out of complex issues. This book, like all his work, is clear, easy to use, authoritative, and thoroughly documented. It reflects the author's years of diligent research, consultation, and application. In addition to his own expertise, he has always drawn on the wisdom and the personal guidance of such revered sages as RABBI MOSHE FEINSTEIN and RABBI SHLOMO ZALMAN AUERBACH zt''l and lhbc''h RABBI CHAIM PINCHAS SCHEINBERG shlita. This exceptional Series is a valuable addition to the new genre of halachic works that are responding to today's need for accurate and comprehensive answers to the new questions that arise day in, day out.

Sanctity of Shabbos (ArtScroll halachah series)

Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen has earned a niche in countless family libraries through his clear, thorough, and practical works on Halachah. His many books on the laws of Shabbos and child-rearing have become standard texts -- enlightening, authoritative, and accessible -- for scholar and layman alike. Now he turns his spotlight on an area that is in need of his unique clarity. The Yom Tov laws are a gray area, so to speak, because many of the Shabbos labors are permitted -- but under limited circumstances. What are the circumstances? What are the limitations? What labors are sometimes permitted? Which are never permitted? May one always carry? What degree of "Yom Tov need" is sufficient to permit the labors that are sometimes permitted? Is one ever permitted to prepare food for the next day? The list of questions is long and perplexing. As always, Rabbi Cohen deals with the forest before turning to the trees. He explains the principles and parameters so that the reader has a clear understanding of the rules. Only then does he turn to specific cases. And, as is his forte, he deals with current situations, the sort of utensils and cases that one will not find spelled out clearly in the classic works of Halachah. A sefer such as this provides refreshing proof that the Torah is timeless, because the principles of every situation can be found in the Talmud and the codes -- provided one has the background and understanding to find and apply them. Rabbi Cohen does, in full measure. This is a work that belongs in every Jewish home, alongside Rabbi Cohen's other works: The Shabbos Home, The Radiance of Shabbos, The Sanctity of Shabbos, The Shabbos Kitchen, and Children in Halachah.

History

Ever the practical, down-to-earth posek, Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen concentrates on the areas of Halachah that affect every home and family. His previous works have become indispensable handbooks in countless homes, where such laws as those of the Shabbos kitchen, the use of appliances, child-raising, non-Jewish household help and many others are no longer shrouded in mystery and ignorance. He has the exceptional ability to explain the underlying principles of the laws, so that the reader understands how to apply them to new situations. In this new book, Rabbi Cohen brings his popular and authoritative approach to the complex laws of muktzeh. In his inimitable manner, he makes them clear and comprehensible and shows how principles merge with practice. After laying the groundwork of the Halachah, he presents hundreds of common cases with the correct rulings. Rabbi Cohen embellishes his own work with rulings of the geonim Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, with whom he personally consulted for many years. What are the different kinds of muktzeh? May they ever be used? If so, which ones? What about a newly arrived fax? Mail? A screwdriver? A hammer and a stone are both muktzeh, but one may sometimes be used -- which and why? The answers are all here. Even better, the "whys" and "whens" are clear. The Chofetz Chaim used to say that without knowledge and understanding of the laws, even the most pious people may innocently desecrate Shabbos. He wrote and appealed to people to study the laws so that they would banish error from their lives. Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen is carrying out that sacred charge -- and is doing it in a stimulating and enjoyable manner. This book is another entry in his honor roll of service to the Jewish community. Like Rabbi Cohen's other books, this one belongs in every Jewish home!
