Rabbi Yoel Sirkis wrote the commentary Bayit Chadash, not Beth Chadash as the article states. Beth Chadash would mean "the house of new." Bayit Chadash means "the/a new house." This title is derived from the verse in Deuteronomy (22:8): "When you build a new house, you shall fence off your roof...", or from the verse, ibid (20:5): "'... who is the man who has built a new house and not yet inaugerated it...'" I'll change it. HKT 22:14, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Hadn't noticed. JFW | T@lk 22:22, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Se'ifim

"The Tur is composed in four divisions ("Arba'ah Turim"); these are further organised by topic, by section (siman, pl. simanim) and by law (se'if, pl. se'ifim)." There are no se'ifim in the Tur (sic.) Rather, the se'ifim were introduced in later works (esp. Shulhan Arukh.) Publishers have since inserted the Shulhan Arukh's se'if divisions into the Tur. This is why occasionally the Tur will seem to skip a se'if. Rather, this is a spot where the Shulhan Arukh added material between topics covered in the Tur.

Quite so. I have altered the article accordingly. --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 14:43, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

___ Towards the end of the page it says that some printings of the Tur have the Tur on half the page and Shulchan Aruch on the other. I've never seen such a printing (and due to my familiarity with the texts and the way its studied, I dont think such a printing would be very useful) . What I have seen (and own) is a publication in which the Tur is printed in the front half of a single volume on a particular section with all of its classic commentaries, and in the second half of the book is the Shulchan Aruch. (The book described might indeed exist, but I've never seen it and this particular fact wasnt sourced) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.22.36 (talk) 15:40, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen isolated volumes in bookshops, where the Tur is the top half of the page and the Shulchan Aruch is the bottom. But if you like we can alter it to something more non-committal like "printed together with". -Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) (talk) 16:12, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
