This short booklet contains an essay on the subject of polygamy in Jewish law. In this essay, we will review the history of polygamy in Jewish law. We will study the biblical and Talmudic law which permits polygamy’s and the later ban by Rabbeinu Gershom which prohibited it. Why was it banned? Does the band apply to even Sephardim? Does the ban apply even in today’s times? Can the ban be rescinded through the signatures of 100 rabbis?

In this third ...

The night of the Seder is one of the oldest and most cherished Mitzvos amongst world Jewry. There is no greater proof for this than the thousands of editions of Hagadah’s which exist and have been printed throughout the ages. Many Rabbis and sects publish their own edition of Hagadah’s to be used by their followers, so no custom be unknown or overlooked. Famously, the Rebbe published his own Hagaddah with a scholarly encyclopedic commentary. All in all, however, all these editions are not thorough Halachic works on the Seder night, but rather a commentary on the stanzas of the Haggadah ...
