The Simla Chadasha is a compendium on the Jewish laws of ritual slaughter[1]. It was written by Rabbi Alexander Sender Schorr in the 18th century. Rabbi Schorr was the son of Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Schorr, the son of Rabbi Shmuel Shorr, the son of Rabbi Naftali Hirsch Schorr, the son of Rabbi Moshe Ephraim Schorr. They were direct descendents of Rabbi Yoseph Bechor Schorr of Orleans, one of the most famous of the French Tosafists.
Even in his youth, Rabbi Alexander Sender Schorr was the Chief Justice of the Rabbinic Court in the town of Hovniv directly outside of Lvov. While his work was published he lived in the town of Zelkava.
Use of the Simla Chadasha has become so ubiquitious that it has replaced the Shulkhan Arukh as the definitive work on ritual slaughter. Any candidate who wishes to become a ritual slaughterer is no longer tested by Rabbis on the laws found in the Shulkhan Arukh - they are tested instead on their knowledge of the Simla Chadasha. The famed Rabbi Moshe Sopher also known as the Chsam Sopher[2] describes the Simla Chadasha with the following words, "His words are the words of the Living G-d." The work was published well over one hundred times[3].
Rabbi Schorr passed away on Tuesday, the 27th of Shvat in the Hebrew year 5497. His tombstone is still extant in the Jewish cemetery in Zelkava.
Muslims as well as Jews have a dietary code where they are proscribed from eating meat that was not ritually slaughtered by either a fellow Muslim or a Jew.
