The article discusses a children’s Shulchan Aruch, one of three Halakhic works especially for the young, compiled during the Hebrew language revival by Alexander Ziskind Rabinovitz (AZAR), and printed in Vilna, 1910-1911. The Shulchan Aruch for Children is revolutionary in its linguistic adaptation and simplification of Halakhic language to better suit a young readership.
My argument here is that Rabinovitz’s choice of texts and his humanistic-socialist interpretations were intended to appeal to a new generation and thereby bridge the worlds of Halakha and Zionism.
