Shulchan Aruch is the classic set of books of Halacha (Jewish law). Coauthored by Rabbi Yosef Kairo and Rabbi Moshe Isserles. This set of books is the authoritative starting point for any discussion of practical Jewish law.
Over the years there have been many different printings of Shulchan Aruch. Many common printings have divided Shulchan Aruch into ten volumes:
Orach Chayim- Daily Living, including Shabbos and Yom Tov (3 volumes)
Yoreh Deah- Advanced Study, including Shechita, interest free loans, Mikva, and Aveilus (3 volumes)
Choshen Mishpat- Financial Law, including loans, employee law, and damages (3 volumes)
Even Hoezer- Matrimonial Law, including marriage and divorce (1 volume)
Rabbi Mordechai Rhine is the teacher of this series. His ability to translate and articulate difficult concepts smoothly and clearly has enabled so many participants to find their place in Torah study.
