Shulchan Aruch

Shulchan Aruch - Compiled by Rav Yoseph Karo in Tzefat, during the 16th century. The most widely accepted code of Jewish law, it is a condensed and simplified version of the Beit Yosef, a commentary that R’ Yoseph Karo wrote on the Tur. His rulings are in accordance with Sephardic traditions; the text of the Shulchan Aruch also includes the interpretations of R’ Moshe Isserles, which cite Ashkenazic traditions.
