The ''Mishnah Berurah'' ((ヘブライ語:משנה ברורה) "Clarified Teaching") is a work of ''halakha'' (Jewish law) by Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan (Poland, 1838–1933), also colloquially known by the name of another of his books, ''Chofetz Chaim'' "Desirer of Life". It was first published in 1906. His ''Mishnah Berurah'' is a commentary on ''Orach Chayim'', the first section of the ''Shulchan Aruch'' which deals with laws of prayer, synagogue, Shabbat and holidays, summarizing the opinions of the ''Acharonim'' (post-Medieval rabbinic authorities) on that work.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Chofetz Chaim - Rabbi Yisroel Meir HaKohen )〕 The title ''Mishnah Berurah'' is a reference to the portion in Deuteronomy where Israel is commanded to inscribe God's commandments in large clear writing on a mountainside. The ''Mishnah Berurah'' is traditionally printed in 6 volumes alongside selected other commentaries. The work provides simple and contemporary explanatory remarks and citations to daily aspects of ''halakha''. It is widely used as a reference and has mostly supplanted the Chayei Adam and the Aruch HaShulchan as the primary authority on Jewish daily living among Ashkenazi Jews, particularly those closely associated with ''haredi'' ''yeshivas''. The ''Mishnah Berurah'' is accompanied by additional in-depth glosses called ''Be'ur Halakha'', a reference section called ''Sha'ar Hatziyun'' (these two were also written by the ''Chofetz Chaim''), and additional commentaries called ''Be'er Hagolah'', ''Be'er Heitev'', and ''Sha'arei Teshuvah''. The Mishnah Berurah's "literary style can be described as follows: In relation to a given law of the ''Shulhan Aruch'', he raises a particular case with certain peculiarities that may change the law; then, he enumerates the opinions of the ''Ahronim'' (the later authorities, of the 16th century and on) on that case, from the most lenient to the most stringent ; and finally, he decides between them.... Having displayed what we may call the "leniency-stringency spectrum", () actually offers the reader an array of conduct options from which he may ''pick'' the one that seems right for him. This choice is not altogether free, since () shows a clear inclination to one side of the spectrum - the stringent - and encourages the reader to follow it, but still, the soft language of the ruling suggests that if one follows the other side of the spectrum, the lenient, he will not sin, since there are trustworthy authorities that may back his choice."〔Benjamin Brown, "'Soft Stringency' in the Mishnah Vrurah: Jurisprudential, Social, and ideological Aspects of a Halachic Formulation," ''Contemporary Jewry'' 27 (2007), 7.〕 "Mishnah Berurah Yomit" is a daily study programme initiated by ''Vaad Daas Halacha'' and the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation. The study program proceeds either on a 2½-year cycle ("Daf a Day") or a 5-year cycle ("Amud a Day") and includes a focus on each ''Yom Tov'' (festival) in the 30 preceding days. == See also == * ''Chayei Adam'', a similar, earlier work * ''Aruch HaShulchan'' by Yechiel Michel Epstein - a contemporaneous work tracing the development of each halakha from the Talmud through the ''Rishonim'' and arriving at a ''psak'' supported by the ''Acharonim'' * ''Kaf Hachayim'' by Yaakov Chaim Sofer - a contemporaneous Sephardi work discussing Orach Chayim and some of Yoreh De'ah in light of the ''Rishonim'' and ''Acharonim''. * ''Kitzur Shulchan Aruch'' by Shlomo Ganzfried Other study cycles: *''Shnayim mikra ve-echad targum'' (Weekly Torah portion with Rashi) - weekly or daily study (1 year cycle) *''Daf Yomi'' (entire Talmud) - daily study (approx 7-year cycle); ''Amud Yomi'' (approx 14-year cycle) *''Mishneh Torah'' - daily study (2.5 or 5-year cycle) *''Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Yomi'' - daily study (1 year cycle) *''Halacha Yomit'' (Shulchan Aruch) - daily study (4 year cycle) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mishnah Berurah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
