Shlomo Zalman Auerbach was world-renowned as one of Orthodoxy’s greatest halachic authorities. A prolific author of responsa and halachic works, focusing especially upon medical and technological matters, he received broad acclaim and respect. His first published work Me’orei Esh (1935) is a most original presentation of the Halachic implications regarding usage of electricity on the Sabbath and Festivals - indeed it was the first work of Halachah ever written on the subject.
