Kitzur Chapter 1:1 - 1:4

This is absolutely perfect, Rabbi Weinstein. Usually with online classes on chabad.org, it's someone talking about the halacha/mitzvos/whatever, while in this series, you're actually reading from the text itself, not merely giving your take on it. Keep up the good work! Reply

This is my first time hearing the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch and the direction is clear and guided. Thank you, I look forward to hearing more. Reply

RE: Thank you and two questions 1. Correct! Halacha means "to go" or "a path." More generally, the word halacha refers to Jewish law that is the body of work which teaches a Jew the way to go or the path to follow in observing a life in accordance with the purpose of our creation as defined by our Creator.
2. Here's a good bio on Rabbi Yosef Caro thanks again to chabad.org.
Much success with your studies! Reply

Question:

1. What does Halacha mean? Law, a path, the way to go...?

3. Yosef Karo, the author of the halacha we are learning, was instructed by a maggid? Where can we learn more about Reb Karo? Reply
