Orchos Chaim of the Rosh: Rabbeinu Asher's Classic Paths of Life with an Anthology of Contemporary Expositions

Rabbeinu Asher, the Rosh, is one of the classic codifiers and commentators on the Talmud, one of the select few whose writings have become indispensable to a proper understanding of the Talmud and Halachah. Greatness in Torah goes together with greatness in piety and in love of fellow Jews. The Rosh set down in simple terms how to live as a Jew day by day, in the little matters that are not little at all. This volume presents Orchos Chaim as it was understood by and as it influences people great and small. With a new translation and comments culled from exceptional men of the spirit, primarily Rabbi Yechezkel Lewenstein, the immortal mashgiach of Mir and Ponevech, it will be a road map and a treasure for new English-speaking generations. The stories, teachings and insights of this magnificent collection will become the daily companion of thousands.
