Shulchan Aruch HaRav

1895 edition of the Shulchan Aruch HaRav

The Shulchan Aruch HaRav (Hebrew: שולחן ערוך הרב, lit.'Shulchan Aruch of the Rabbi'; also romanized Shulkhan Arukh HaRav) is especially a record of prevailing halakha by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745–1812), known during his lifetime as HaRav (Hebrew for "The Rabbi") and as the first Rebbe (Yiddish for "rabbi") of Chabad. Within the Chabad community the work is known as the Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Aruch.[1]

  1. ^ Following Shneur Zalman's death, he has been alternately referred to as the Alter Rebbe (Yiddish: Old Rabbi) in Chabad Hasidic circles, the Gra"z, or the Gaon Ha'amiti ("the true genius"). He is also often referenced as both the "Tanya" as well as the "Baal HaTanya" (Author of the Tanya) more broadly, for his other main work.
