Simchas Hachaim Publishing seeks children’s titles

Simchas Hachaim Publishing (SHP) announced March 5 that they are preparing a line of children’s books inspired by Rabbi Miller’s teachings. The publishers invite all authors to submit children’s manuscripts (or queries).

SHP is the official publisher of Rabbi Avigdor Miller’s books and lectures. It is a division of the Rabbi Avigdor Miller Legacy Library, under the direction of Yeshiva Gedolah Bais Yisroel and the Miller family. SHP previously has published Career of Happiness and the bestseller A Divine Madness. It has also produced the first three volumes of the ongoing Ohr Avigdorseries on Chovos Halevavos, including the most recent, Shaar Avodas Elokim, released last month. Many other new works are in progress.

Aryeh Zev Narrow, executive director of SHP, says the organization welcomes submissions for children of any age, from any author, including authors who have not previously been published. “Rabbi Miller’s inspiring lessons in bechinah[discovering Hashem in the world] and simchas hachaim will infuse young readers with a zeal for life, Torah and avodasHashem,” Mr. Narrow stated. “We welcome submissions from any author who can adapt these lessons for today’s young reader."

The Rabbi Avigdor Miller Legacy Library disseminates the teachings of Rabbi Avigdor Miller through its Simchas Hachaim Publishing division and other innovative programs that spread Rabbi Miller's uplifting approach to Torah, life, and serving Hashem to an ever-widening audience. The Library was formed in 2011 by Yeshiva Gedolah Bais Yisroel, which was co-founded in 1983 by Rabbi Avigdor Miller zatzal and ybcl his son, Rabbi Shmuel Miller shlita, the Rosh Yeshiva.
