Base — Beginner & Intermediate
The twelve seifim in Hebrew, with fluent English translation and a clause-by-clause breakdown: designation and its four extensions, the verb and its bound, the criterion of דבר שזרעו כלה, the wife’s handiwork, possessive against demonstrative in property, the three responsa of the Rashba, taste, the drop and the name. The sixty-four commentary entries — Shakh, Taz, Ba’er Hetev, Pit’hei Teshuva, Nekudot HaKesef — cited one by one.

Lamdan — Talmid Hakham
Pilpul: the Tur’s rule and the division of לשון תורה from לשון בני אדם; the Rosh and Tosafot against the Ran on exchanges — personal prohibition or change of status?; the Ba’h against the Mehaber on growths of growths, and the Taz’s קל וחומר; the Taz against the Beit Yosef on exchanges of exchanges, and the Nekudot HaKesef’s שגג בזה; why growths are not nullified, and R. Shmuel Eiger’s objection; the two languages of seif 3 and the Taz’s answer; the doubt of seif 6; the long note on בחיי ובמותי; the Shakh’s צ״ע on ככרי.

Synthesis — Revision
A synthesis arranged by mechanism rather than by number: the axiom of language and its four shapes, designation and what it carries, the verb and what it bounds, material persistence, possessive against demonstrative, taste and name. Then a master table restoring the twelve seifim to the order of the book, the eight open disputes, the vocabulary, the golden rules and the classic pitfalls.

הלכה למעשה
Halakha lema'asse — Psak
The practical halakha according to the ש״ך, the ט״ז, the באר היטב and the פתחי תשובה, then contemporary cases: a dietary resolution taken upon oneself, a dish containing only the taste, an undertaking made for someone else, and a collective undertaking whose formula names two things. Note: the Admour HaZaken did not write a Shulchan Arukh on Yoreh De’ah — a level of psak, not “Daat HaRav”.
