	Top Literature - Chayei Adam
		Chayei Adam (חיי אדם "The Life of Man") is a book on Jewish law by Rabbi Avraham Danzig.
		In this work, Rabbi Danzig collected and critically sifted the Acharonic material in the field of the Halakha written in the more than two and a half centuries since the appearance of the Shulkhan Arukh.
		The scholarship of the work is evidenced by the fact that Rabbi Chaim Volozhin, known for his opposition to "digests of halakha", granted the work his approbation (on condition that each section be cross-referenced to the Shulkhan Arukh to allow for further study).

	Chayei Olam - the Wonder of Eternal Life
		This mode of life is absorbed in this world and its physical and social structures: working, eating, pursuing pleasures, etc. Chayei Sha’a is the life of “vanity of vanities” and is a vapor that soon dissipates in the winds of time.
		Chayei Olam, eternal life, is a conscious relationship with God through Yeshua the Messiah.
		Chayei Olam is a gift of revelation -- from the Messiah directly to you -- that ultimately derives from the will of the Father to be chosen as one who will know the truth of God’s love and redemption.

		G-d said, "Do not eat from the trees in the center of the garden," and He meant, "Do not eat from the trees in the center of the garden." Along came the Nachash (serpent) to entice Adam and Chava with a novel interpretation of G-d's words and intentions.
		Adam and Chava would have not paid attention to the Nachash?s seduction if the tree had been unattractive and the fruit repulsive.
		The decision to listen to the interpretation and then to accept it as the truth was the decision and action of Adam and Chava.

		Chayei Adam (58, see Nishmat Adam ad loc) rules that the borei minei mezonot is valid b'dieved, based upon the Yerushalmi.
		This ruling of the Chayei Adam is quoted by the Biur Halachah (167:10) as well.
		In either case, the five grains are deserving of borei minei mezonot due to the role they play in people's meals [or their satiating capacity].

	The Minhag of Kapparot
		The Chayei Adam (144:4) and Mishna Berura (605:2) explain that the idea of Kapparot is modeled after the idea of a Korban, as explained by the Ramban (Vayikra 1:9).
		Similarly, the Chayei Adam and Mishna Berura write that during the Kapparot ritual, one should contemplate that one deserves to be slaughtered just as the Kapparot chicken is slaughtered and that the chicken is a substitute.
		The Chayei Adam and Mishna Berura express concern that an overworked and overburdened Shochet may not notice a subtle nick in the knife.

		The Chayei Adam(2) rules that winding a stopped watch is Biblically prohibited because of tikun mana.
		He maintains that by winding a watch one is "bringing to life" a piece of machinery which has been "dead." When this is done by tightening parts (as in winding a watch where the loose parts of the spring are tightened up), it is considered boneh, building(9).
		If we were to follow the Chayei Adam's logic as to why it is prohibited to wind up watches, then a strong case could be made to permit winding toys.

	Divrei Torah Chaye Sarah
		Regarding Adam HaRishon, one could add that the Creation was made "fixed in their nature and full growth" [see Rashi, 1:25], and the Midrash informs us that Adam HaRishon was created as a 20-year-old.
		Avraham Avinu is referred to by our Sages as "Adam HaGadol," the Great Man. He was supposed to be the first man, but his creation was "postponed," as it were, because if he would become corrupt, there would be no one who could rectify the damage afterwards.
		One could think that if one's life is only to rectify the mistakes of others, without his own independent creativity, that is not considered a "life." Therefore, our verse stresses, "which he lived," to teach you that there is no greater fulfillment in life than rectifying the mistakes of others.

	39 categories of activity prohibited on Shabbat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mishna does not just write "trapping"; rather, the Mishna says "trapping deer." This teaches us that to violate the Torah's prohibition of Trapping, two conditions must be met.
		However, if one is afraid of the animal, one may trap it.
		The list of activities in the Mishna includes salting hides and curing as separate categories of activity; the Gemara (Tractate Shabbat 75b) amends this to consider them the same activity and to include "tracing lines", also involved in the production of leather, as the 39th category of activity.

		The Kitzur Shulkhan Arukh in effect summarises the Shulkhan Arukh of Joseph Karo with reference to all subsequent commentaries (see also Chayei Adam) and incorporating Jewish Hungarian customs up to the 19th century.
		The book "is written for God-fearing Jews who are not in a position to study and comprehend the (original full) Shulkhan Arukh and its commentaries, and is composed in a Hebrew that can be easily understood." The Kitzur states what is permitted and what forbidden without ambiguity.
		To determine a ruling, Ganzfried based his decisions on three halakhic authorities: Rabbi Jacob of Lissa; Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the first rebbe of Chabad Lubavitch, author of the Shulchan Aruch HaRav; and Rabbi Abraham Danzig, author of Chayei Adam.

	Weekly Hilchos Shabbos Series
		However, the Chayei Adam [1] writes that one may not play a game where it is normal to write down, as a g’zeira lest one will write on Shabbos, and part of the game of scrabble is to write down the score.
		Accordingly it seems that one may not play scrabble on Shabbos and indeed the Sh’miras Shabbos Kehilchasa [2] cites the Chayei Adam and does not quote opinions who oppose it.
		It is possible that it is a chidush of the Chayei Adam that was not accepted by other poskim.

		Rav Avraham Danzig (author of Chayei Adam), in his Toledot Adam commentary to the Haggada, suggests that Chazal conceived of such a notion on the basis a different verse in the context of sippur yetzi'at Mitzrayim.
		Although Chazal ultimately dismiss this notion, it is noteworthy that – according to the Chayei Adam – they considered interpreting the term avoda as a reference to sippur yetzi'at Mitzrayim, just as this word is used in reference to prayer.

		Adam had lived in Gan Eden at one time; it was appropriate therefore that his burial place should adjoin it.
		The point is that just as Adam incorporated part of all mankind when he came into being, so he has something in common with every human being when that human being dies.
		Although we have stated that all generations subsequent to Adam contain some element of his, the link to Adam is only via the patriarchs who serve as the go-between.

		You see, Adam was created with an 'additional' soul; a deep, constant urge; to recognize, be devoted to, and advertise the existence and nature of G-d, just like a Jew.
		That is why Adam was, and still is, buried together with the forefathers (in fact that is how Avraham recognized the place, he saw signs that Adam was buried there) to show that only true offspring of Adam are the seed of Avraham, the Jews.
		According to this, then, Avraham was hinting to the owners that if they don't want to sell him the Cave and aren't willing to help him, then not only have they no connection to him, but they forfeit their connection to Adam as well and deny their own right to exist.
