In time for Hei Teves, a popular resource for Shluchim is digitized!
Due to popular demand, the comprehensive pocket-sized Chabad Madrich by prolific Chabad publisher, Rabbi Zalman Goldstein of the Jewish Learning Group, is now available on Apple iBooks. The RABBI’S COMPANION brings together all pertinent laws and liturgy for major lifecycle events, placing them at the fingertips of Shluchim when needed most.
Clear, authoritative Halachic information and instructions, following Minhag Chabad, are given, providing the guidance and liturgy needed during life’s most important moments. Meticulous in detail and carefully edited by Rabbi Sholom B. Chaikin for Halachic accuracy, the RABBI’S COMPANION has become a vital rabbinic resource.
“The purpose of this book was to eliminate the frantic search for the right books and prayers to take along when called to officiate Rabbinic duties, ” explains Rabbi Goldstein, author of THE JEWISH MOURNERS COMPANION, SHABBAT TABLE COMPANION, and GOING KOSHER IN 30 DAYS. “Less fumbling with photocopies and calling around at the last minute to refresh how and what to do. The just-grab-it-and-go Chabad Madrich provides peace of mind so that Shluchim can give their fullest attention to the event at hand.”
The well laid-out book is written in English, with all necessary liturgy in clearly set Hebrew. A link to print out hand-out sheets with transliterations is provided to aid with communal participation.
“Since its release a couple of years ago, the Madrich was extremely well received and adopted around the world. It is often one of the must-have items recommended to Shluchim at Kinus workshops,” continues Rabbi Goldstein. “However, one of the requests I kept getting was to digitize it so that it can be used on one’s phone and tablet. This idea fit perfectly with the original vision of providing the relevant information needed to the person needing it on demand. So here it is!”
The Chabad Madrich covers naming a baby girl, Bris, Pidyon Haben, Upsherin, Bar Mitzvah, Wedding, Visiting the Sick, Final Prayers, Funeral, Shiva Home, Unveiling & Visiting a Cemetery, Talking Points, and provides a link to print out several liturgy sheets for communal participation.
