Menoras Hamaor - The Light of Contentment

Menoras Hamaor, one of the great classics of Jewish literature, was written by Rabbeinu Yitzchak Abohav in the 14th Century.
Menoras Hamaor is systematic arrangement of the chronicles and timeless wisdom of the Agadic portion of the Talmud. It takes the reader by the hand and leads him on a tour through the high points of the intricate maze of the Agada. It is a window to an enchanting world hitherto accessible only to Talmudic scholars.

Menoras Hamaor is a masterwork consisting of seven separate and distinct works, each dealing with a separate and distinct area of Jewish thought.
In this volume - the Light of Contentment - the author discusses the difficulties of coping with a trouble-some world and the solution to be found in the Torah. The central theme of this work is the Mishnaic statement: "Jealousy, desire, and the pursuit of honor remove a person from the world".
Translated by Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Reinman, this book was published in 1982. Few copies are left in print.
