Kitzur Shulchan Aruch

 
Wikipedia: Kitzur Shulchan Aruch

Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (there are alternative transliterations, such as Kitsur Shulhan Aruch) may refer to:

  1. The famous work of that name by Shlomo Ganzfried (online at: www.Kitzur.net)
  2. A similar Sephardi work entitled "Kitzur Shulchan Aruch" by Rabbi Raphael Baruch Toledano.
  3. The "Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Mekor Hayyim" by Rabbi Hayim David HaLevi
  4. The volumes entitled "Kitzur Shulchan Aruch" from Yalkut Yosef (based on the rulings of the Sephardi Sage and former Rishon leZion Ovadia Yosef).

All these works are of the same character: they are brief guides to halacha, in the form of an abridgment and updating of Joseph Caro's Shulchan Aruch (the normative work of halacha). The word kitzur is Hebrew for shortening or abridgment.
