Halachos of K'zayis
Description
Knowing what blessings and after-blessings to make on foods is important, but it's also imperative to know how much food must be eaten in order to qualify for an afterblessing. Now, the complex and little-known topic of k'zayis (literally 'like an olive'--indicating the portion size that qualifies for an afterblessing) has become crystal clear and couldn't be easier to follow. This unique book shows full-size, color pictures of the most commonly eaten foods, indicating how much must be eaten in order to fulfill a shiur k'zayis. Includes modern snack foods, breads, and an entire section on k'zaysim on Pesach, and the formulas for calculating shiur k'zayis in foods of different shapes.

Someone looking to buy a pair of tefillin (boxes, scrolls, or straps), whether for himself or for his son, is often unaware of the details that need attention. What is more, the broad range of tefillin offered by retailers, as well as the sharp difference in price from one pair to another, can be a source of great confusion, and with good reason. Superficial examination of a pair of tefillin does not readily reveal the vast amount of work and effort that goes into the various stages of production, nor the relative superiority or inferiority of the finished product.
The purpose of this work is to make the reader aware of the various issues involved. In addition to setting forth the laws of making and laying tefillin, we aim to familiarize the reader, and especially the bar mitzvah boy, with the procedures by which tefillin are made, problems that often occur en route, and the solutions thereof.
In addition, knowing the technical details involved in the manufacture of tefillin brings the study of hilchos tefillin to life, allowing the reader to picture and fully understand that which he studies. By creating a dynamic and enjoyable learning experience, this book will instill within the reader a love for the mitzvah.
