תורת הבית הקצרTorat HaBayit HaKatzar
Torat HaBayit HaKatzar (“The Short Laws of the House”) is the Rashba’s abridgement of his Torat HaBayit HaArokh. Both works cover ritual observances relevant for maintaining a Jewish home, like kashrut, niddah, and mikvah immersion. Meant to serve as a guidebook, the Torat HaBayit HaKatzar focuses on practical law and omits the discussions and analyses that are characteristic of the longer version.Torat HaBayit HaKatzar (“The Short Laws of the House”) is the Rashba’s abridgement of his Torat HaBayit HaArokh.
