❧ Description
Pri To’ar — halakhic commentary by Ḥayyim ibn Attar on the Yoreh De’ah section of Joseph Karo's Shulḥan Arukh, with particular attention to the laws of ritual slaughter (shechita) and kashrut. Printed in Amsterdam in 1742, simultaneously with the Or ha-Ḥayim (Venice). Pri To’ar attests to ibn Attar's standing as a halakhic authority, beyond his role as exegete and kabbalist; it is widely used in the Maghrebi yeshivot (Meknès, Fès).
