49 Gates

49 Gates is a halachah sefer issued under the Malchus Publishing imprint and carried in the ArtScroll catalog. The publisher supplied almost no description line with it, so rather than dress up a blurb we would rather tell you plainly what the edition itself is and who tends to reach for a volume like it.

It runs 240 pages at a 7.00 x 9.25 inch trim. That is the full-size sefer page, not a pocket digest, and the difference shows up the moment you learn from it: a page that size carries a long halachic discussion without chopping it across three spreads, and it opens wide enough to sit on a shtender or a dining-room table while you work through a sugya with a chavrusa.

The paperback binding is the practical choice for a sefer that travels between the beis midrash and the house. It keeps the price low enough that a shul, a classroom or a kollel can put out several copies rather than fighting over one, and it means a scuffed corner costs you nothing to worry about.

On a home shelf it belongs with your practical halachah seforim, next to the volumes you actually pull down when a question comes up on a Friday afternoon. Free shipping applies on orders over $75, and returns are accepted for 15 days with the customer covering return postage or bringing the sefer back to Judaica Square.
