Title: Code of Jewish law (Kitzur Schulchan Aruch)
Description: "A guide to, and abbreviation (kitzur) of the standard code of Jewish law, the Shulhan Aruch -- itself an abbreviation of a much longer text. Compiled by a Hungarian rabbi in the mid-nineteenth century, this is a practical and effective code, intended for Jewish businessmen who wish to keep the Law and educate their sons without themselves engaging in halakhic investigations -- and will be equally useful to students of Orthodox custom and ritual"--Publisher's description, back cover.
