Meir Leibush Malbim is famed for his popular commentary to the Bible. This is his first halachic work which according to the introduction he began when he was aged twenty. The enthusiastic approbations of the Chassam Sofer, R. Wolf Boskowitz and others place it and its author at the forefront of the scholarly rabbinic works of the generation. It became a standard text especially in relation to the laws of Tephilin.
