Editing Shulchan Aruch (section)

====Rabbi Yoel Sirkis====
Another prominent critic of the ''Shulchan Aruch'' was [[Joel Sirkis]] (1561–1640), rabbi and author of a commentary to the ''[[Arba'ah Turim]]'' entitled the "New House" ({{lang|he|בית חדש}}, commonly abbreviated as the ''Bach'' {{lang|he|ב״ח}}), and [[Meir Lublin]], author of the commentary on the Bach entitled the ''Shut HaBach'' ({{lang|he|שו״ת הב״ח}}): {{quote|It is impossible to rule (in most cases) based on the ''Shulchan Aruch'', as almost all his words lack accompanying explanations, particularly (when writing about) monetary law. Besides this, we see that many legal doubts arise daily, and are mostly the subject of scholarly debate, necessitating vast wisdom and proficiency to arrive at a sufficiently sourced ruling.<ref>''Shut HaBach, 80'', Sirkis, and ''Shu"t HaBach Hachadashot, 42''</ref>}}
