This book analyzes the writings of Rabbi Yechiel Mechel Halevi
Epstein (1829-1908), author of the Arukh Hashulkhan, a bold and
unusual approach to Jewish law. Based primarily on the original
text of Rabbi Epstein's legal codes and homilies, this work covers
topics such as women, modernity, customs, and secular studies. It
analyzes the rabbi's approach to Jewish law and Jewish life,
designed to promote the spiritual welfare of Jews under the
pressures of growing secularization and russification. Although
based upon the principles of the traditional judicial process, the
rabbi's rulings demonstrate a profound understanding of the
contemporary social and historical reality facing the Jews of
Russia at the turn of the century.
