Synopsis

The Aruch Hashulchan, the monumental work of Rav Yechiel Michel Halevi Epstein, occupies a prominent place in the library of classic Jewish texts. Almost every contemporary halachic sefer cites the Aruch Hashulchan and contends with his opinions, testifying to the esteem in which this exceptional work is held. The original eight volumes encompassing all four sections of Shulchan Aruch were composed between 1870 and 1901. The Aruch Hashulchan was immediately acclaimed by the Torah scholars of the day and remains a standard in halachic literature. With remarkable clarity, scope, and skill, the Aruch Hashulchan incorporates many different facets of halachic study. Relevant sources from the Gemara, Rambam, and Rishonim are explained and difficulties resolved with novel, straightforward explanations. He reports the rulings of the Shulchan Aruch and the Rema, as well as those of the Magen Avraham, Taz, and other classical commentaries, sometimes challenging their opinions. This masterful compendium of Jewish law also addresses practical halachic issues as well as relating to prevalent customs of the time. For this new edition, the full Hebrew text and all sources were carefully reviewed. Obvious typographical and citation errors were corrected, and supplementary references were added. The accompanying English translation is faithful to the Hebrew text with occasional clarifications, footnotes, and subheadings added to enhance readability.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Rav Ilan Segal has been studying and teaching halachah for over thirty years. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, he studied in Netivot Yosef and Heichal Hatorah yeshivas in Eretz Yisrael. After receiving semichah from the Chief Rabbis of Israel, Rav Avraham Shapira and Rav Mordechai Eliyahu, Rav Segal served as the Rabbi of Pretoria, South Africa, for four years. Returning to Israel in 1994, he devoted himself to Torah education, teaching in Yeshivat Reishit Yerushalayim and Darchei Binah seminary, and later as the principal of Afikei Torah and Levavi seminaries. Rav Yechiel Michel Halevi Epstein (1829- 1908) was one of the leading poskim of his day. His acumen in analyzing and expounding halachah established him as an authority of Jewish law, and his work, Aruch Hashulchan, as a timeless classic. Born into a wealthy merchant family, he chose a path of Torah study that led him to the great Yeshivah of Volozhin, where he developed a close relationship with the Netziv. He returned to his hometown, Bobroisk, where he received his semichah. In 1874, Rav Epstein left to become the Rav of Novardok, leading the community for 34 years until the end of his life.
