 Encyclopedia: Aruch ha-Shulchan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In Aruch ha-Shulchan, Rabbi Epstein traces the origins of each law and custom to its source in the Torah or Talmud, states the view of the Rishonim (early, pre-1550 authorities), and arrives at a psak (decision) - often supporting his views with the words of the Acharonim (later authorities) but occasionally disagreeing with them.
The work follows the structure of the Shulchan Aruch, and hence comes in four books, subdivided into chapters, which are again subdivided in paragraphs.
Aruch ha_Shulchan is often quoted alongside Mishna Berura, a work composed slightly later by Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan (the Chafetz Chaim).

 Shulchan Aruch HaRav - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shulchan Aruch HaRav, or Shulkhan Arukh HaRav, ("Code of Jewish Law by the Rabbi") is a codification of halakha by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, known during his lifetime as HaRav ("The Rabbi").
At a young age, Rabbi Shneur Zalman was asked by his teacher, Rabbi Dovber of Mezeritch to recodify the Shulkhan Arukh of Rabbi Yosef Karo so that laymen would be able to study Jewish law.
The Shulchan Aruch HaRav is today used by Lubavitch Hasidim as their basis for daily practice.

 The Canvas Succah \ Rabbi Yeshai Koenigsberg
In the case of the Shulchan Aruch, the sheets in question may not have been designed to be fastened or tied in place.
This view, however, is not accepted by the Shulchan Aruch, as is evident from the statement of the Shulchan Aruch (630:13) that allows the above-mentioned case of using a bed to support s'chach.
This is problematic in light of the Shulchan Aruch's lenient ruling in the case of the bed.

 Milk and Meat in an Oven
The Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh Deah 108:1) rules in accordance with Levi that Reicha is not Halachically significant.
The Shulchan Aruch (92:8) cites the Teshuvot HaRosh (20:26) that "if one placed a pan of milk beneath a pot of meat, the steam emerges [from the milk] and is absorbed into the pot [of meat] and renders it forbidden" (because of the mixture of milk and meat).
Aruch Hashulchan limits the applicability of Zeiah to a situation in which the two foods are cooked simultaneously in a small confined area.

Now in view of this, it is plain to see that of all the parts of the Shulchan Aruch, the part Orach Chayim, has the highest priority to be studied.
Although all four parts of the Shulchan Aruch are required in practice, this part nevertheless has priority over all the others, since knowledge of this part is imperative on every one of the days of one’s life for one to be able to fulfill the Torah.
For such people, it is an obligation that before they devote themselves to any other studies they must be fully versed in this part of the Shulchan Aruch, in order to be familiar with the path along which they must walk.

 Shulchan Aruch from WUJS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Unlike the Mishneh Torah by Maimonides, the Shulchan Aruch does not seek to be fully comprehensive, and so does not detail laws that are seen as no longer valid since the destruction of the Temple.
The Shulchan Aruch does however detail all the laws that still apply, and so is comprehensive for practical purposes.
The Hebrew of the Mishnah Berurah and the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch is relatively modern.

 Cracks in the Facts
Although the nature of the Talmud and the Shulchan Aruch are as we have described, and is not subject to dispute, many Jews, however, do not accept the Divine origin of the Oral Law and do not follow the Talmud at all.

 Chapters On Jewish Literature - Chapter XXIII. The Shulchan Aruch (By Israel Abrahams)
The Shulchan Aruch was the outcome of centuries of scholarship.
This section of the Shulchan Aruch is the most miscellaneous of the four; in the other three the association of subjects is more logical.
Though the Shulchan Aruch had an evil effect in stereotyping Jewish religious thought and in preventing the rapid spread of the critical spirit, yet it was a rallying point for the disorganized Jews, and saved them from the disintegration which threatened them.

It may be true that the Shulchan Aruch includes things which are custom, but the way to tell the difference is to look at the source (and ask your posek).
Shulchan Aruch is not binding; it never was.
The strongest criticism against all such codes of Jewish law - including the Shulchan Aruch - is that they inherently violate the precept of Hilkheta Ke-Vatra'ei, that is, the law is according to the later scholars.

 Modern Brit Milah Issues - Part One
The Rambam (Hilchot Milah 1:117) and Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh Deah 263:1) rule in accordance with this Talmudic passage.
The Rambam writes that we should postpone the Brit if the baby is "exceptionally yellow" but the Shulchan Aruch omits the word "exceptionally." The Chochmat Adam (149:4) rules in accordance with the Rambam.
He notes that the Rambam (Hilchot Milah 2:2) and Shulchan Aruch (Y.D. 264:3) write that Metzitza must extract the blood from the "furthest places." The Avnei Neizer contends that this cannot be accomplished when using a glass tube.

For further detailed study on the Halachic subject one could read the appropriate sections in Halachic works such as the Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim (Chapters 135-149) by Rabbi Joseph Karo (1488-1575), and its commentators or the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (the abridged Shulchan Aruch) by Rabbi Shlomo Gantzfried (1804-1888).
The way in which this is done is known as Shnaim Mikra Ve’Echad Targum which means, 'Twice the verse and once the translation', referring to the translation into Aramaic by the Tanna (Jewish sage of the Mishna) Onkelos of the Second Century.
The Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chayim 285) states that one could read the Rashi commentary instead of the Onkelos translation.

 Jewish Law - Articles ("The Establishment of Maternity & Paternity in Jewish and American Law")
There are, obviously, cases in which the identity of the father or mother is factually unknown; see J. Caro, Shulchan Aruch, Even Haezer 71:4 and commentaries ad locum, on how Jewish law deals with these circumstances.
The term "rabbinic law" is used in Jewish law to indicate rules of law which were created by the rabbis in a legislative rather than a hermeneutic manner.
Additionally, since the Talmud leaves the question undecided (teku), the host mother would not have to pay the 5 shekalim for the redemption of the first born, although this issue is not beyond dispute.

 Ethical Behavior in Business: A Hierarchical Approach from the Talmud   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Shulchan Aruch is used by observant Jewry all over the world to this day.
In fact, a public denunciation of the 'wicked one' was made (Me'iras Einayim on Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat 237:1).
Apparently, only an ethical person of the highest degree would not use the reasonable excuse that when she made the oral commitment (which is not legally binding in Jewish law) it was with the implicit understanding that were the price to change she would not go through with the deal.

 Yalkut Bar Mitzvah: Tefillin
The Alter Rebbe explains this in Shulchan Aruch to mean that if on the Day of Judgment, a person's good deeds and bad deeds are equal, the merit of the mitzvah of tefillin will tip the scales for merit.
If you have noticed that a certain person seems to have placed the tefillin lower than the original hairline, it is undoubtedly because the hair of that person had receded, and from the distance it would have been difficult for you to determine actually where the original hairline was.
See further Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, 10:3 who writes that even if a portion of the tefillin are out of place, one has not fulfilled the mitzvah and the blessing has been made in vain.

I do not reject the Oral Tradition, but what I and many other Jews to not accept is that the Talmud and the Shulchan Aruch were signed, sealed, and delivered at Sinai to Moshe from Hashem.
The shulchan aruch is primarily a codification of the talmud.
So when you object to any precept in the talmud or shulchan aruch you are also going against moshe rabeinu.

 Shulchan Aruch - Torah.org
The Shulchan Aruch ("Set Table") is a compendium of those areas of the halachah -- Jewish religious law -- that are applicable today.
The purpose of this course is to present a summary of the contents of the Shulchan Aruch which can serve as an introduction to further study.
(References to chapter and paragraph numbers (x:y) in the Shulchan Aruch are given throughout.) The summary is based entirely on the Shulchan Aruch and Mappah themselves (usually following the latter when they differ) and emphasizes general principles; it omits many details and does not include rulings given in the commentaries or in later codes.

Tzfat had a printing press, and the Shulchan Aruch was one of its earliest ventures.
This meant that many more printed copies were available of the Shulchan Aruch than any other code written in manuscript form.
However, one event concretized the Shulchan Aruch for the 17th century Jewish world.

 Parashat Balak 5764 - Read the Shiur - Keren Yishai
This shi'ur will be a small intermission in our greater endeavors of studying each tribe, its specific attributes, and the relationship between the tribe, its characteristics, the precious stone that represents it in the Choshen (the Kohen Gadol's breastplate,) the color of its flag in the desert, and the form that appears on the flag.
The Shulchan Aruch's terminology indicates that there may have been room to think that it is forbidden to perform m'lacha on Rosh Chodesh.
The Shulchan Aruch simply wishes to inform us that there is a good minhag (custom, practice) of refraining from the performance of m'lacha, and therefore one may not compel a woman to do m'lacha, for she may claim that it is her minhag not to perform m'lacha on Rosh Chodesh.
