The Shuichan Aruch is the
title given to the basic code of
I Jewish law for all ritual as well
as legal questions in Jewish Life.
The term means "a prepared
table." It was so named because
the laws that are found in it
were so arranged that' one could
easily refer to any law under
its proper heading and codifica-
tion.. The author himself stated
that he had written it chiefly
for younger students who would
find it difficult to trace the laws
from the more complex codes of
an earlier date.
The author of the Shuichan
-
11 Much was Joseph Caro, who
was born in Spain and later
moved through Eastern Europe
on to Palestine. According to
most authorities, the Shuichan
Aruch was completed by the
author in his later years, in
approximately 1555 in Biri,
Palestine.
The name Shuichan Aruch is
sometimes confused with a vol-
ume printed under that name
which actually contains the
code of Shuichan Aruch plus
many commentaries which are
printed alongside the original
code of the Shuichan Aruch. In-
deed the text of Joseph Caro
is not the last word in Jewish
law. There were great contro-
versies among many authorities
over some of his decisions. Yet,
the controversies center around
the basic text of Caro and so
it was preserved as the most
basic arrangement of Jewish law.
The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch is
an abbreviated form of the Shul-
chan Aruch and its later com-
mentaries written by Solomon
Ganzfried in Hungary in the
19th century.

Harry Hershfield: "History re-
peats itself, but the neighbors
repeat it when it's your person-
al history."
Vanessa Brown: "A husband
often shows his worst side to
the better half."
Pinky Lee: ' 41(4ot:tern girls
would rather be well formed
than well-informed."
