Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church


For the first time in history the faith of the Catholic Church is expressed in a concise form, in Hebrew language. We proudly present the Hebrew translation of the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.


The Compendium contains all the essential and fundamental elements of the Church’s faith.

This 185-page volume offers a clear synopsis of the essential contents of the Faith as promulgated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.


The members of our communities may receive the Compendium for free (small donation is recommended) from the priests responsible for the parishes.

Everybody else can buy it in the section of "Our Products" by clicking here: Compendium.


The Compendium has a four-part structure, like the Catechism. It took us years to translate it into Hebrew.


There are short and compact answers to 598 questions like:

What is the plan of God for man?

What does it mean to believe in only one God?

Where does the soul come from?

What does the word Church mean?

What is meant by the term “heaven”?

Who can receive Baptism?

When is an act morally good?

What practices are contrary to respect for the bodily integrity of the human person?

When is it morally permitted to use military force?

What is meditation?

How is forgiveness possible?
