Often there are documentaries about “the story behind the story.” What goes on behind a story can often be more interesting than the story itself. In “Setting the Table: An Introduction to the Jurisprudence of Rabbi Yechiel Mikhel Epstein’s Arukh HaShulhan” (Academic Studies Press), Rabbis Michael Broyde and Shlomo Pill have written a fascinating book on how one of the most influential halachic works of the last 150 years came to light. Rabbi Yechiel Mikhel Epstein, the author of the Aruch HaShulchan, was one of the most revolutionary halachic decisors of recent memory.
