The Author states that he wrote this commentary to Masecheth Kalah, since so very few commentaries exist to the Tractate at all, therefore he hoped the present work would encourage more scholars to study the original tractate. Of interest, the author notes that it was the custom among the pious of Lithuania, to study and make a Siyum to Masecheth Kalah prior to every meal, thus demonstarting that the act of eating was not just to fill the stomach, but that every meal could become a Seudath Mitzvah.
