More than two hundred years ago, Rabbi Avraham Danzig was asked by European Torah authorities to produce a work that would summarize all the laws in the Yoreh Deah section of the Shulchan Aruch. The result -- Sefer Chochmas Adam -- has become a modern classic. To this day, it remains the only published guide to provide a complete, yet succinct, review of these important halachos.

Sefer Chochmas Adam was written in consultation with two of the greatest Torah scholars of the time: Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin and Rabbi Yaakov of Lisa. Reportedly, even the Chasam Sofer instructed his son that when he had to to make a halachic decision and he couldn't refer to the Shulchan Aruch, he could look into the Chochmas Adam.

Sefer Chochmas Adam on Hilchos Basar B'chalav (Laws of Meat and Milk) features:

The complete original Hebrew text of Sefer Chochmas Adam.
A full and lucid English translation of the Hebrew text.

"Let us thank Dr. Cohen for his superb English translation of the Sefer Chochmas Adam, and also for his illuminating English commentary... his work is thorough and complete." ...Rabbi Avigdor Miller.
