ter many months of anticipation, the first volume of the Kleinman edition of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch was released just this week. Originally compiled in 1864 by Harav Shlomo Ganzfried, “the Kitzur” is a digest of the essential laws of Jewish living distilled from the massive, authoritative Code of Law. The widespread use of the Kitzur was evident even in the author’s day, with some twenty reprints in his lifetime alone, and several iterations since.ArtScroll’s Kleinman Edition of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch is presented in the now-familiar style of phrase-by-phrase translation and elucidation which has popularized the Schottenstein Talmud, the Sapirstein Rashi, and the Ramban’s Torah commentary. Readers will appreciate the generous background notes which provide a clear understanding of the relevant laws in each section. Another new feature of this new edition of the Kitzur is the inclusion of relevant rulings from the Mishnah Berurah and the Igros Moshe of Harav Moshe Feinstein zt”l, when they differ from the Kitzur. more@blog.artscroll.com
