Shulchan Aruch HaRav by R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi – the Baal HaTanya. Zhitomir: R. Chanina Lipa, R. Aryeh Leib and R. Yehoshua Heshel Shapira, grandsons of the rabbi of Slavita, 1847. Six parts in six volumes.
This edition was published by R. Chaim Avraham, son of the author, the Baal HaTanya, with the assistance of his children. This edition includes new additions to Kuntres Acharon and to the sources, from the author's manuscript. It also includes 23 new responsa in the responsa section. Furthermore, for the first time, the Kuntres Acharon is printed in the margins and not at the end of the book. Volume I includes a foreword, written especially for this edition, by R. Chaim Avraham (in addition to the famous foreword which appeared already in the first edition), and another short foreword to the responsa section. Three important approbations by prominent disciples of the Baal HaTanya – R. Eizik Rabbi of Homel, R. Baruch Mordechai Rabbi of Babruysk and R. Yitzchak Eizik Rabbi of Vitebsk – are printed in this edition for the first time.
