collection of Jewish laws; book of religious law from the Rabbi Yosef Karo
The Shulchan Aruch (
Hebrew: שולחן ערוך, literally: "Set Table") (also Shulchan Arukh) is a
codification, or written catalogue, of
halacha (Jewish law), composed by Rabbi
Yosef Karo in the
16th century. It, together with its commentaries, is considered by the vast majority of
Orthodox Jews to be the most authoritative compilation halakha since the
Talmud, with the exception of a minority who continue to hold by the
Mishneh Torah. The Shulchan Aruch has come to simply be referred to as the Code of Jewish Law due to its popular appeal.
