Aruch HaShulchan · Orach Chaim

Volume 1 · Simanim 1–57

The Aruch HaShulchan on Orach Chaim, the laws of daily Jewish life, elucidated in full from the very first siman. Rabbi Yechiel Michel HaLevi Epstein, Av Beis Din of Novardok, traces every ruling from the Gemara through the Rishonim and the Shulchan Aruch down to the practice of his own day. The first volume brings the first hours of a Jew’s day: rising like a lion to serve the Creator, the morning washing of the hands, the laws of tzitzis and of tefillin, the morning blessings, Pesukei DeZimrah, Kaddish and Barchu. Vocalized Hebrew with an interlinear translation, 169 practical-halachah boxes showing how the poskim of our generation rule on today’s questions — each ruling cited by the sefer it comes from — and the Tamtzis digest closing every siman. Further volumes continue through Orach Chaim.
