When I teach a kallah, I like to teach from Taharat Bat Yisrael or from Rav Chaim David HaLevy's book. Why? B/c they are simple, direct and easy to understand. But both books have an interesting phenomenon: they mention repeatedly "in xxx case, ask a Rabbi". Why not just give the answer?<br>

<br>In fact in Taharat Bat Yisrael the author is attacked in the appendix for using heteirm "unfit for a ktizur book" and he goes on to defend himself. [m ycrtizieu of this fine sefer is that he cites no soruces as oposed to Darchei Tohora which does. In D. T,. you can llok up the SA/Rambam or the pischie Teshuvan and trace the Halocha back as far as you wish.]<br>
<br>But I will re-iterate, I think that MOST people - men and women - can get at least 95% of the necesary nuances in 2ndary books such as BTur/Beis Yosef and other nos'ei keilim w/o consulting Shas. True a gadol hador would not go that route, but for most people and even most rabbnonim Tur/BY v'chulei is quite adequate. <br clear="all">
