SIMPLY SEFARDI -PURITY

The first in a series, Simply Sefardi presents the laws of family purity in a straightforward fashion, with an emphasis on the Sefardi tradition.

Its author, Rabbi Zecharia Avezov, a moreh hora’ah and veteran chatan teacher, outlines these laws in an eminently clear manner, with extensive sources in the footnotes, so that everyone — from layman to scholar — will not only learn, but know the pertinent laws of family purity and how it applies to them.


“Going through the work, I saw that the author did a beautiful job, setting up the laws based on the Gemara, Rishonim and Acharonim, and the Shulhan Aruch.… It is written in a remarkably clear fashion. I am certain that this book will be of great benefit to teachers and students alike.”

Rav David Yosef, shlita, Author of Halachah Berurah and Rav and Rosh Kollel of Yechave Da’at Son of Hacham Ovadia Yosef, zt”l


“I have seen the fruits of your labor, the laws of family purity set forth in a clear, simple manner, a professional work indeed! You’ve merited to learn, teach, and do — you benefit the public by clarifying practical halachah — praiseworthy is your lot.”

Rav Haim Benoliel, shlita, Rosh Yeshivat Mikdash Melech and Rav of Bnai Yosef


“I was very happy to hear that this work on family purity, which was already published in Hebrew, is now coming out in English. R’ Zecharia is fit to rule and can be relied upon for everything. He learned, and continues to learn, in the Kollel L’Horaah in our yeshiva…and has seen much success in achieving clarity in halachah. He already rules on the many questions brought before him and answers with lucidity and fear of Heaven.”

Rav Yisroel Reisman, shlita, Rosh Yeshivat Torah Vodaath and Rav of Agudas Yisrael of Madison
