Avos and Toldos 1 – The Concept of Mah Matzinu (Klal 9 Siman 3) Hilchos Shabbos – S0264

  We are beginning siman 3, where the Chayei Adam discusses the concept of avos and toldos.

Shinui 1 – Meleches Machsheves (Klal 9 Siman 2) Hilchos Shabbos – S0260

  We are beginning siman 2, where the Chayei Adam introduces some of the limitations on the melachos.
