Analyses the writings of Rabbi Yechiel Mechel Halevi Epstein (1829-1908), author of the Arukh Hashulkhan, a bold and unusual approach to Jewish law. Based primarily on the original text of Rabbi Epstein's legal codes and homilies, this covers topics such as women, modernity, customs, and secular studies. It also analyses the rabbi's approach to Jewish law and Jewish life.
