INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTAL SEFER
Sefer Habinah Vehabrachah 
The origins and history of our daily regimen of One Hundred Brachos by RABBI ZEV EPSTEIN

This beautiful sefer is a fusion of two important works on the mitzvah of mei’ah brachos bechol yom — a Jew’s obligation to recite one hundred brachos every day:

Sefer Hamevarech Yisbarech,

by HaGaon HaTzaddik Harav Yaakov Meir Schechter shlita, of Yerushalayim, was originally published in Hebrew and enjoyed wide popularity. It has now been expertly translated into English by Rabbi Zev Epstein, in order to allow an even wider audience to benefit from Harav Schechter’s teachings. In Sefer Hamevarech Yisbarech, Harav Schechter opens up the world of mei’ah brachos and explains the sublime nature of this mitzvah, why it is the cornerstone of a Jew’s avodas Hashem, and how it can serve to bring a wellspring of blessings into one’s life.

Sefer Hamevarech Yisbarech also explains the segulah inherent in the worthy practice of reciting Pesukei Bitachon, and includes Harav Schechter’s personal listing of Pesukei Bitachon, together with their translations.

Sefer Habinah Vehabrachah,

by Rabbi Zev Epstein, contains an introductory chapter from the teachings of Harav Hagaon Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel shlita, Rosh Yeshivah of Yeshivah Gedolah Zichron Moshe (South Fallsburg, NY). In this sefer, Rabbi Epstein opens up the sugya of mei’ah brachos — from the Gemara through the Rishonim, to the Shulchan Aruch and poskim — and also chronicles the history of the practice of mei’ah brachos — from the time of the Avos, down to Moshe Rabbeinu and Dovid Hamelech, and, finally, to the Anshei Knesses Hagedolah.

In addition, Sefer Habinah Vehabrachah includes a Summary of Laws of Mei’ah Brachos in English, which was reviewed by Harav Yisroel Shlomowitz shlita, Dayan of Yeshivah Gedolah Zichron Moshe.
