The Story Behind the Story

By Ben Rothke | April 15, 2021 Reviewing: “Setting the Table: An Introduction to the Jurisprudence of Rabbi Yechiel Mikhel Epstein’s Arukh HaShulhan,” by Michael J. Broyde and Shlomo C. Pill. Academic Studies Press. 2021. English. Hardcover. 530 pages. ISBN-13: 978-1644690703. 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.

Love your neighbor, a prescription for our time

When the sages, in our double Torah portion of Acharei Mot-Kedoshim this week, addressed the classic Jewish commandment to “Love your fellow as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18), they wondered: How is it possible to require that we can love others as much as we love ourselves?  Rabbi Baruch Halevi Epstein (1860-1941), best known for his commentary “Torah Temimah (The Perfect Torah),” based on a teaching of Maimonides, says we are enjoined to treat our fellow human beings with honor and respect. Maimonides writes: “Each man is commanded to love each and every one of Israel as himself, as the verse states.”  In “The Metsudah: Chumash/Rashi” by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, the translation follows virtually every other ChumashI am familiar with, but it adds, like Maimonides, “You shall love your fellow [Jew] as yourself.” This begs the question: Does the Torah confine this love to just Jews or all of humankind?
