The Simla Hadasha (שמלה חדשה) is a compendium on the Jewish laws of ritual slaughter (Shechita).
[1] Even in his youth, Rabbi Alexander Sender Shor was the Chief Justice of the Rabbinic Court in the town of Hovniv directly outside of Lvov.
Use of the Simla Hadasha has become so ubiquitous that it has replaced the Shulchan Aruch as the definitive work on ritual slaughter[citation needed].
[2] It is of great interest[citation needed] to note that the Simla Hadasha has only been received universally by Hasidic and Ashkenazic Jewry.
The Simla Hadasha then skips to the section of Shulchan Aruch that deals with defects in the lungs and proceeds with a restatements of chapters thirty-five through thirty nine.
