About the Chayei Adam on TorahSages
2 chelakim · 220 klalim
The Chayei Adam of Rabbi Avraham Danzig (1748–1820), a dayan in Vilna, sets out the halachot of Orach Chaim by subject, in klalim, in plain Hebrew, for the working man who has no time to go through the Shulchan Aruch and its mefarshim. It is in two parts: Seder HaYom, on the order of the day from waking through tefillah, berachot and meals, and Shabbat uMoadim, on Shabbat, the Yamim Tovim and the fasts. His reasoning is kept apart in the Nishmat Adam. First printed in 1810, it was learned a klal a day by chevrot in shul, the Mishnah Berurah cites it throughout, and the Tefillah Zakah said on Erev Yom Kippur comes from it.
TorahSages has the Chayei Adam in both parts: the 69 klalim of Seder HaYom and the 151 klalim of Shabbat uMoadim, each klal listed under its own heading.
