Code of Jewish Law

I have a book titled “Code of Jewish Law” Revised Edition, 1961, Hebrew Publishing Company, New York. Is there a current edition or current substitute available and, if there is, what is it and how applicable/valid is it for use?

Answer:

This is a translation of the classic work “kitzur shulchan aruch” which is a compilation of laws pertaining to daily living for every Jew.

There is a more contemporary translation with helpful notes and additions, see: http://artscroll.com/Books/9781422611043.html

This book’s rulings may be relied upon for practical questions of Jewish law, it’s rulings have been accepted throughout generations and are relevant until today.
