The Kornitzer Edition: Vocalized Hebrew, Interlinear Translation, Comparative Halachah, Summary of Every Siman
The Aruch HaShulchan on ta'aruvos - the laws of forbidden mixtures and nullification - in full Hebrew with a line-by-line English translation.
Rabbi Yechiel Michel HaLevi Epstein (1829-1908), Av Beis Din of Novardok, built the Aruch HaShulchan as a code that shows its work, carrying each halachah from the Gemara through the Rishonim and the Shulchan Aruch to the practice of his day. This volume opens the most technical - and most practically consulted - stretch of Yoreh De'ah to the English reader.
Volume 2 covers Simanim 100-110: beriah, the whole creature that is never nullified; chatichah hare'uyah lehiskabed; davar sheyesh lo matirin; nosen ta'am lifgam and repulsive substances; kavush, cooking, roasting and salting; nullification in sixty and whether a piece that absorbed a prohibition regains its permitted status; eggs and fish cooked together when one is found forbidden, and insects found in food; ri'ach - whether aroma alone forbids; dry mixed with dry and nullification by simple majority; and the laws of significant items, living creatures, kavua and sfek sfeika.
