A halacha series on Shabbos
This collection is a focused set of shiurim by Shani Taragin on Hilchot Shabbat — the laws that govern how Shabbos is kept. Rather than ranging across topics, it stays with a single, practical subject: what is permitted and forbidden on Shabbos, and the principles beneath those halachos. About ten recorded shiurim make up the series, giving it the shape of a real course on the topic rather than a scattering of talks.
Shani Taragin is one of the most widely respected women teaching Torah today, known across the religious-Zionist world as an educator of Tanach, halacha and machshava at seminaries and adult programs. Here her subject is the concrete halachos of Shabbos, taught with the clarity that has made her a sought-after teacher. That pairing — a serious educator on a practical, universal topic — is the collection's strength.
Practical laws, clearly taught
Hilchot Shabbat is among the most practical areas of halacha a person can learn, because it shapes one day of every week. Questions of what may be carried, cooked, or handled on Shabbos arise constantly, and understanding the underlying categories turns a maze of individual rulings into something a person can actually reason about. A structured series is the natural way to build that understanding.
Taught clearly, these laws become less a list of restrictions and more a coherent system with its own logic. That is the value of learning Hilchot Shabbat from an accomplished educator: not merely memorizing what is and is not allowed, but grasping why, so that Shabbos observance rests on understanding rather than habit alone. For anyone who keeps Shabbos, that shift is meaningful.
For families keeping Shabbos
For a household, few areas of Torah are as immediately useful as the laws of Shabbos, since they touch every part of the day from candle-lighting to havdalah. A clear series on the subject helps parents answer the real questions that come up at home and gives them the confidence to guide their children through the day's halachos with understanding.
That Shani Taragin is a prominent woman educator also makes this collection especially valuable as a model, particularly for women and girls learning halacha in depth. A recorded series can be returned to as questions arise week after week, making it a lasting reference for a family that wants its Shabbos grounded in real knowledge.
