Jewish Life Cycle — 120 Points of Halacha
Jewish Life Cycle — 120 Points of Halacha
From the bris to the kaddish, a Yiddishe life passes through the same stages, and each one carries halachos that are asked about only when the moment arrives.
One hundred and twenty points of halachah set out stage by stage across a life — birth and bris, chinuch, bar mitzvah, marriage and the building of a home, illness, and the halachos of aveilus — with the sources given so a question can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Kiddushin, Niddah and Berachos stand behind the halachos, with the Shulchan Aruch and the Rambam.
A reference for the home, and a gift for a chasunah or a bar mitzvah.
Rabbi Nachman Wilhelm is the founder and dean of Online Smicha, and was a rosh yeshiva in St. Paul for fourteen years.
