This sefer is the fourth in the Chizuk L’… Yaakov Series. The series made its debut over forty years ago, with the highly-popular Kitzur Hilchos Shabbos–Chizuk L’Bais Yaakov, now a favorite text in many schools and Jewish homes around the world. (In recent years Kitzur Hilchos Shabbos has also been published with English and Russian translations.)

In this volume one will find the laws and customs that apply to one’s dining table on Shabbos and Yom Tov, as well as on other occasions around the year. Included are the halachos of candle-lighting, Kiddush, Bircas Hamazon, the Sedertable, Rosh Hashana and much more.

Also found in this volume is the sefer Chizuk L’Mishkanei Yaakov, a guide to the many insertions and variations in our tefilos throughout the year, and the correct procedures for one who makes a mistake.

May this sefer serve to enhance many a Yid’s table, so that we can truly declare,”This is the table that is set up before Hashem” (Yecheskel 41:22).
