Covering Orakh Chaim, the parts of Yoreh Deah relevant at home, and selected topics from Eveh haEzer and Choshein Mishpat…. The halakhos of daily life from waking up in the morning to going to bed, from kashrus in the kitchen to honoring one’s parents to taharas hamishpachah to aveilus.
With the Arukh haShulchan’s analysis of how the halakhah came to be what it is.
Join us for the Second Cycle Starting Tuesday February 11th 2025 – 13 Shevat 5785
Exciting Arukh HaShulchan Development!!!
When we begin the second cycle of the Arukh HaShulchan Yomi, we will b’ezras Hashem also begin the first supplemental cycle of the rest of the Arukh HaShulchan!
We took the material not covered in the AhSY cycle and divided it into pieces to fit during the next two cycles. Two unrelated pieces to learn each day, but the daily material of the supplemental cycle will be less than half tbe text per day of the regular cycle.
At the end of the third cycle, you could be making a siyum on the entire Aruch HaShulchan!*
(* Original edition. Not including Nedarim nor Arukh HaShulchan He’Asid.)
The Arukh haShulchan Yomi is also included on our Luach page. (That Luach also offers halachic times for any location in a novel month-calendar format, as well Daf (Bavli) and Daf Yerushalmi Yomi. The Arukh haShulchan Yomi is provided as a link to a copy of the day’s text.
