Solomon Ganzfried (1804-1886), Dayan of Ungvar, Hungary, was one of the outspoken defenders of Orthodoxy against the inroads of Reform. A prolific author, Ganzfried produced important halachic works including Keseth HaSopher on the scribal laws and Lechem VeSimlah on the laws of family purity. However, the work that has become a byword in every Jewish home is his Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (1864), which offers concise guidance in daily Jewish life. The Derech Chaim commentary appended to this prayer-book is a fundamental source for clarifying ritual in the prayers. The book is endorsed by the Rabbi of Ungvar, R. Meir Asch [i.e. Eisenstadt]
