Sefer Vayashkeim Avrohom – Beginning the Day is a bilingual work comprehensively exploring halachos about the morning, by Rabbi Avrohom Yehuda Kievman, a dayan at the Melbourne Beis Din in Melbourne, Australia.

Having received Smicha and Dayanus from Harav Pinchos Hirschprung z”l and yblch”t Harav Zalman Labkovsky, and spending several years of shimush by Harav Yosef A. Halevi Heller and Harav Menachem Meir Weissmandl, Rabbi Kievman relocated to Melbourne, Australia where he joined the Kolel directed by Harav Chaim Tzvi Groner and received further shimush from Rabbi Y.D. Groner AH and yblch”t Harav Yekusiel Farkash. Since 5762 (2002), he serves as a Dayan on the Beis Din of Melbourne.

The new sefer, which spans the first seven simanim of the Alter Rebbe’s Shulchan Aruch, covers essential topics such as the halachos of waking in the morning, netilas yadayim, dressing, personal hygiene, the commencement of Shachris, and the proper kavanah for reciting a bracha.
