Keep Any Home in Order

The Hasidic Home Almanac

$47$77SAVE $30

Stop tidying the same room every day. Every object gets a place, a person and a day.
What comes in the door stops at the door. Shoes, coats, bags and mail stop where they come in.
Walk through a Hasidic house room by room: the door, the table, the bedrooms, the one bathroom.
Never feel overwhelmed again. One room every few days, never the whole house at once.

239 pages · 25 chapters · 13 worksheets + room checklists

Written in a house with eight children. Every chapter has a version for two.

From Yossi's kitchen table

Eleven people, four rooms, and one day a week when nothing gets fixed.

I am a Hasidic father of eight, and my mother lives with us. Everything in these books I learned standing next to my father, and it all works in any house, Jewish or not. None of it was ever hidden. It just stopped getting passed on.

I am not a rabbi, and I will not invent a number. If the books do not earn their place in your house, reply to your receipt within 7 days and you get every cent back.

Yossi

"Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work." Exodus 20:9. Your Bible has the same words. This is how one house keeps them.

Questions

Before you order

Do I have to be Jewish?

No. Most people who watch Yossi are not. You pick your own day, Saturday or Sunday. Nobody is asking you to become anything.

Is Yossi a rabbi?

No. He is a father of eight. Where a question belongs to Jewish law, the books say so and send you to your own rabbi.

Will Jewish readers find mistakes?

The customs are one household's, and the books say where customs differ. Hasidic spellings throughout: Shabbos, challah, kiddush. Every question of Jewish law goes to your own rabbi.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes. Turn on "Give as a gift" at checkout and it goes straight to their email.

Is it easy to read? My eyes are not what they were.

Large type, short paragraphs, and a box with the rules at the end of every chapter. On a tablet you can make it as big as you like.

What do I receive, and when?

PDF files, right after you pay, on the screen and by email. They open on any phone, tablet or computer. No app, no account, no subscription.
