Since 1864, Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried's Kitzur Shulchan Aruch has been one of the world's most widely used Halachic guides for daily Jewish living. No work of Halachah has been reprinted so many times in so many countries.
This unique edition of Kitzur Shulachan Aruch is organized in accordance with the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Yomi calendar, and published in 12 separate volumes — one for each month — so that the learner can conveniently carry and study the appropriate volume throughout that month.
While the program generally follows the order of the simanim in the Kitzur, it occasionally diverges so that the learner studies halachos relevant to the current season. As a result, the sequence is adjusted to ensure that the laws of each festival are learned in advance of that festival.
Because the program begins near the end of Tishrei, the simanim studied from the 24th to the 30th of Tishrei both at the end of the Tishrei volume and at the beginning of the Cheshvan volume.
The Kleinman Edition Kitzur presents a clear, authoritative, definitive treatment of this classic text, presenting it in the same universally acclaimed format as ArtScroll's Schottenstein Edition of the Talmud.
Fully vowelized text of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, based on the author's own corrected Lemberg edition of 1884
Crisp, clear translation appropriate for student and scholar alike
ArtScroll's trademark phrase-by-phrase elucidation with explanatory notes
Original editorial glosses from Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried
Detailed appendices
A special major feature that will make this an even more useful Halachic guide:
This edition lists important rulings of two of the last century's most widely studied halachic authorities, when they differ from the Kitzur:
- Mishnah Berurah, the Chafetz Chaim's authoritative commentary on Orach Chaim
- Igros Moshe, the monumental responsa of the Posek Hador, HaGaon Rav Moshe Feinstein zt"l.
With these vitally important additions, The Kleinman Edition of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch / Code of Jewish Law will be a valuable and useful resource to all.
