Rabbi Eider was best known for his pioneering works in Jewish law. He was among the first to write handbooks of practical Halacha for the English speaking public. Many of the conventions he instituted - for example, writing the main text in English with Hebrew footnotes on the same page - became standard in the field of English works of Jewish law. R. Eider developed a style of writing intended to be clear for the new student while still useful for the scholar. R. Eider frequently consulted with major Rabbinic authorities in the writing of his books, as seen from the countless footnotes. His style of writing is the foundation of most English works of Halacha published today. (en) |
