The Shulchan Aruch (Hebrew: שֻׁלְחָן עָרוּך, literally: “Set Table”), often referred to in English as the Code of Jewish Law, is the preeminent legal code within Judaism. Authored in Safed (present-day Israel) by Joseph Karo in 1563 and published in Venice in 1565, it is the most universally accepted compilation of Jewish law, or halakha. The Shulchan Aruch serves as the foundational text for Jewish religious practice and legal standards worldwide, synthesizing various strands of halakhic literature into a single, authoritative guide. And now in plain English for every day readers. Not with comments, just deeds to live by.
