context_page_description: Shlomo Zalman Auerbach was a renowned Orthodox Jewish rabbi, posek, and rosh yeshiva of the Kol Torah yeshiva in Jerusalem, Israel. The Jerusalem neighborhood Ramat Shlomo is named after Rabbi Auerbach.
context_section_description: Sefarim authored by Rabbi Auerbach include:
  Meorei Eish, a pioneering work concerning electricity in halacha, (1935)
  Ma'adanei Eretz, a two-volume book regarding agricultural halacha, (1946)
  Minchas Shlomo (responsa), first volume (1986), second volume (2003)
  Minchas Shlomo, a commentary on the Talmud
  He also authored a commentary on Shev Shema'tata, which itself is a work of novellae on the Talmud by Rabbi Aryeh Leib HaCohen Heller.
  Most of Rabbi Auerbach's halachic rulings were delivered orally and not published formally. However, his rulings on medical halacha were summarized and publicized by Rabbi Yehoshua Neuwirth in his  book Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchatah, Rabbi Dr. Abraham S. Abraham in his Nishmat Avraham, and Rabbi Dr. Avraham Steinberg in his Encyclopedia Hilchatit Refuit. Rabbi Neuwirth also made many of Rabbi Auerbach's rulings on Hilkhot Shabbat (Shabbat laws) widely known in his bestselling book, which was first published in Hebrew in 1965 and subsequently rendered into English.
