The sheer number of Jewish laws infuses everyday life with endless opportunities to touch the divine within. With this modern translation, the English-reading public can study Jewish law as taught by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the Alter Rebbe, from the original source. In this new edition, the translation page faces the newly reset Hebrew text. Notations appear when the Alter Rebbe"s rulings are at variance with Rabbi Yosef Karo"s Shulchan Aruch and when other halachic works cite the subject at hand. The handsome, hardbound volume is a desk friendly 7.5"x 9.5" format with a satin ribbon marker.
