Meoros HaShabbos Updates

For those of you who are not familiar with Meoros HaShabbos, it is a great series that goes through Hilchos Shabbos and is available in Hebrew, English and Yiddish. To make it family and user friendly the halachos are divided up by Parsha, and then further divided up for Shabbos dinner and then Shabbos lunch. This encourages famalies to use part of the time at those two Shabbos meals to become more familiar with the laws of Shabbos. Each day also includes a story about Gedolim and how they related to Shabbos. So far four volumes have been published (two volumes per year) and the fourth volume concluded with the first day of Sukkos, which was a Shabbos this year. The fifth volume supposedly begins this Shabbos but Feldheim has informed me that there have been some delays. It has been printed and should be available in approximately three weeks. Keep your eyes out for it and if you haven't started the series yet take a look at it next time you're in the seforim store. Maybe you'll find something new L'Kovod Shabbos Kodesh.
