Around 150 years ago, a scholar by the name Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried wrote a revolutionary book, the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch/ The Abridged Version of the Jewish Code of Law. He somehow managed to capture the essence of all the sections of Jewish Law and condensed it into one small volume. I will be posting an abridged version of each law and will mention when other major authorities disagree with his opinion. You can find the Rabbi s blog on our website, Be sure to sign up for a daily of the blog.
