MISHNAH BERURAH
(Redirected from Mishna Brurah)

'Mishnah Berurah' (Hebrew: "Clarified Teaching") is a work of ''halakha'' (Jewish law) by Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan, better known as The ''Chofetz Chaim'' (Poland, 1838 - 1933). It is a commentary on ''Orach Chayim'', the first section of the ''Shulchan Arukh'' (laws of prayer, synagogue, shabbat and holidays), summarizing the opinions of the ''Acharonim'' (post-Medieval rabbinic authorities) on that work.
The ''Mishnah Berurah'' is traditionally printed in 6 volumes alongside selected other commentaries. The work provides simple and contemorary explanatory remarks and citations to daily aspects of ''halakha''. It is widely used as a reference and is accepted as authoritative by Lithuanian Ashkenazi Jews, as well as by many other Orthodox Jews, particularly those closely associated with ''haredi'' ''yeshivas''. The ''Mishna Berura'' is accompanied by additional glosses called ''Beiur Halakha''.
There is a daily study programme which studies a specified page of the ''Mishna Berura'' each day.
