Peninei Halakha (Hebrew: פניני הלכה) is a series of halakha books, published by the Har Bracha Institute and written by Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, consisting of twenty-two volumes in Hebrew. The series is intended to encompass all the halakhot required today for a Jew. The series was founded on the basis of halakha segments that Rabbi Melamed delivered on Channel 7 in Israel, which began to be turned into books in 1993.[1][2]

The books have been translated into English (10 volumes),[3] French (13 volumes),[4] Spanish (13 volumes),[5] and Russian (15 volumes).[6] The books are distributed digitally for free on the internet, and the license for using excerpts from the book is non-commercial.[7]

In addition, based on the book series, comic books titled "Peninei Halakha for Children" (13 volumes) were written.

For writing this series, Melamed won several awards for Torah writing in Israel, including: the Katz Prize,[8][9] the Jewish Creativity Prize,[10] and the Rabbi Kook Prize.[11]
