	JewishEncyclopedia.com - CARO, JOSEPH B. EPHRAIM: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Caro's literary works and the importance of his share in the development of rabbinism are beyond dispute: his works are among the masterpieces of rabbinical literature; and his influence is potent even to this day.
		Caro received new ideas from his maggid in regard to the Cabala only, for the study of which he had hardly any time; such information was in the nature of sundry cabalistic interpretations of the Pentateuch, that in content, though not in form, remind one of the theories of Caro's pupil, Moses Cordovero.
		Caro wrote the Shulḥan 'Aruk in his old age, for the benefit of those who did not possess the education necessary to understand the "Bet Yosef." The arrangement of this work is the same as that adopted by Jacob b.

		They too had families, but the ambition to belong to "the" Toledo-born Joseph Caro family, about whose close Sefardic family there are many "yawning genealogical gaps"(P. Jacobi) also gave rise to many fallacies and baseless wishful thinking of descent.

	Joseph Caro
		Yet Caro, as the author of a vast commentary on Jewish law of lasting significance has had an enormous influence on day to day Jewish practice throughout the Jewish world.
		Bear in mind that the first European printed book appeared only thirty-three years before Caro was born and so he had to rely mainly on manuscripts.
		The record of Caro's unusual inner life is preserved in a surprisingly explicit diary which, like Shakespeare's sonnets, was probably never intended for publication but appeared nonetheless less in book form named by the editor Maggid Mesharim.

	Mezuzah Orientation
		The editor of the Shulchan Arukh, Rabbi Joseph Caro, writes: "the mezuzah must be vertical – its length parallel to the opening of the doorpost" (Yoreh De'ah 289:6).
		Clearly, Rabbi Joseph Caro adopted Rashi's interpretation of "in the manner of a bolt," and by codifying this interpretation, he gave it the force of law -- at least for Jews who held the Shulchan Arukh to be authoritative.
		Following Rabbi Caro's declaration that mezuzot should be vertical, Rabbi Isserles writes, "And so it has been the practice [in Sephardic lands], but there are those who say that a vertical mezuzah is invalid, that it must instead be oriented horizontally, with its length parallel to the lintel of the door."

		The disagreement between R. Caro and R. Isserles in the Shulkhan Arukh has a long history to it and many great sages of Jewish history have voiced their positions on the question of the status of the meals of Hanukkah.

		At least three articles are devoted to analyzing the sixteenth century attempt to reinstitute biblical ordination, in which Rabbi Joseph Caro played a major role - an episode of which many people versed in the halacha are not even aware.
		[73] Caro writes simply that after the completion of the Mishnah, and so after the completion of the Talmud, they "accepted upon themselves" that later ge nerations may not disagree with the former generations.
		The words Caro uses, "kaymu vekiblu," to publicly certify and receive or accept, are technical terms connoting canonization.

		Rabbi Joseph Caro was born in Spain, but following the expulsion wandered through Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece, settling finally in Safed in the Land of Israel.
		Simultaneous with Caro's work on the Beit Yosef, Isserles was working on a similar project entitled Darkhei Moshe ("the ways of Moses"), in which he studied and evaluated the rulings of the Tur in comparison with other halakhic authorities.
		Isserles perceived a serious shortcoming in Caro's work, in that it was based almost entirely on Spanish (Sepharadic) authorities.

		Rabbi Joseph Caro (author of the Shulchan Aruch, 1488-1576), once encountered an extremely difficult passage in his study of the Talmud.

	Personality of the Week - Isserles
		When Yosef Caro wrote his standard code, the "Shulhan Arukh" (literally ‘The Table is Ready’), based on Sephardi practice, Isserles was afraid that its popularity would lead European Jews to forget the rulings of Ashkenazi authorities.
		He therefore wrote "Ha-Mappah" (literally ‘ The Tablecloth’) which complements Caro’s work with Ashkenazi traditions and customs.
		Since then, the combined works have been the accepted basis of Ashkenazi Orthodox life, and to this day guide rabbinical decision-making.
