<p>Isserles was born in <a href="Krak%C3%B3w" title="Kraków">Kraków</a>, <a href="Poland" title="Poland">Poland</a>. His father, <a href="Israel_ben_Josef" title="Israel ben Josef">Israel ben Josef</a> (known as Isserl), was a prominent <a href="Talmud" title="Talmud">talmudist</a> and independently wealthy,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> who had probably headed the community; his grandfather, Yehiel Luria, was the first rabbi of <a href="Brest%2C_Belarus" title="Brest, Belarus">Brisk</a>. (In an era which preceded the common use of <a href="Surname" title="Surname">surnames</a>, Moses became known by his <a href="Patronymic" title="Patronymic">patronymic</a>, Isserles.)
</p><p>At first he studied at home, and then in <a href="Lublin" title="Lublin">Lublin</a> under Rabbi <a href="Shalom_Shachna" title="Shalom Shachna">Shalom Shachna</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-Levin-2008_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Levin-2008-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> who would later become his father-in-law.

Bezalel, an older brother of the <a href="Maharal" class="mw-redirect" title="Maharal">Maharal</a>. His first wife died young, at the age of 20 and he later established the "<a href="Rema_Synagogue" class="mw-redirect" title="Rema Synagogue">Rema Synagogue</a>" in Kraków in her memory (originally his house, built by his father in his honor—which he gave to the community). He later married the sister of <a href="Joseph_ben_Mordechai_Gershon" title="Joseph ben Mordechai Gershon">Joseph ben Mordechai Gershon</a> Ha-Kohen.

In 1553 he was appointed as <a href="Dayan_(rabbinic_judge)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dayan (rabbinic judge)">dayan</a>. He was approached by many other well-known rabbis, including <a href="Yosef_Karo" class="mw-redirect" title="Yosef Karo">Yosef Karo</a>, for Halachic decisions. He was one of the greatest Jewish scholars of <a href="Poland" title="Poland">Poland</a>, and was the primary <a href="Posek" title="Posek">halakhic authority</a> for <a href="Ashkenazi" class="mw-redirect" title="Ashkenazi">European Jewry</a> of his day.

<p>Isserles is perhaps best known for his halakhic works, chief among them are his glosses to the <i><a href="Shulchan_Aruch" title="Shulchan Aruch">Shulchan Aruch</a></i> by <a href="Yosef_Karo" class="mw-redirect" title="Yosef Karo">Yosef Karo</a>. He is noted for his approach to customs (minhagim): "it should be remembered that R. Isserles did not regard the Jewish <a href="Minhag" title="Minhag">minhag</a> lightly. On the contrary, he too expressed reverence and respect for it, and whenever possible endeavored to uphold it and also to explain its origin. Only, unlike many great Talmudic scholars, he refused to follow it blindly. When convinced of the unsound basis of a minhag, he was ready to repudiate it regardless of its acceptance by the people."<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Furthermore: "The Talmud is, of course, the great reservoir to which R. Isserles turns as the first step in attempting to solve a problem. The question at hand is immediately referred to an identical or similar case in the Talmud. The second step is the weighing of the opinions of the ראשונים, i.e. <a href="Isaac_Alfasi" title="Isaac Alfasi">Alfasi</a> (רי”ף), <a href="Tosafist" class="mw-redirect" title="Tosafist">Tosafists</a>, <a href="Nachmanides" title="Nachmanides">Nachmanides</a>, etc. expanding and explaining the text. The opinion of the majority is followed by R. Isserles and even Maimonides, whom he respected very highly, is disregarded if he was in the minority. After the Rishonim, R. Isserles proceeds to examine writings of אחרונים, i.e. <a href="The_Mordechai" class="mw-redirect" title="The Mordechai">Mordechai</a>, Ashri and <a href="Arba'ah_Turim" title="Arba'ah Turim">Tur</a>, and the latter is followed especially when the Tosafists agree with him. At this point, the Responsa of still later authorities are cited extensively in accordance with the well-established principle of הלכה כבתרא, paying due attention even to the opinions of contemporaries and to customs of Polish Jewry which the ב”י omitted. Thus, Isserles, in his responsa as well as in the ד”מ and his commentary on the Shulchan Aruch, served as a supplement and offered his community the code of Law adjusted to its authorities, customs, and needs. He spread the “cloth” over the table prepared by his contemporary, the ב”י."<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Writing to a friend who had become a rabbi in Germany, Isserles expressed his preference for living in Poland over Germany: "You would be better off living with us in Poland on stale bread if need be, but safe".<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Weinryb1973_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Weinryb1973-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Darkhei_Moshe"><i>Darkhei Moshe</i></h3></div>
<p><i><b><a href="Darkhei_Moshe_(book)" title="Darkhei Moshe (book)">Darkhei Moshe</a></b></i> (דרכי משה) is a commentary on the <i><a href="Arba'ah_Turim" title="Arba'ah Turim">Tur</a></i> as well as on the <i><a href="Shulkhan_Aruch" class="mw-redirect" title="Shulkhan Aruch">Beth Yosef</a></i>, which is Yosef Karo's commentary on the <i>Tur</i> and the work underlying the <i>Shulkhan Aruch</i>. Isserles had originally intended the <i>Darkhei Moshe</i> to serve as a basis for subsequent <i>halakhic</i> decisions. As such, in this work he evaluates the rulings of the <i>Tur</i>—which was widely accepted among the <a href="Ashkenazi" class="mw-redirect" title="Ashkenazi">Ashkenazim</a> and <a href="Sephardi" class="mw-redirect" title="Sephardi">Sephardim</a>—comparing these with rulings of other <a href="Posek" title="Posek"><i>halakhic</i> authorities</a>. The <i>Beth Yosef</i> was published while Isserles was at work on the <i>Darkhei Moshe</i>. Recognizing that Karo's commentary largely met his objectives, Isserles published the <i>Darkhei Moshe</i> in a modified form. "In publishing the דרכי משה, R. Isserles rendered a great service to Ashkenazic Jewry, for he reestablished its Talmudic authorities as the deciding factor in determining a law."<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> An abridgement of the original work is published with the <i>Tur</i>; the complete version of the <i>Darkhei Moshe</i> is published separately.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="HaMapah"><i>HaMapah</i></h3></div>
<p><i><b>HaMapah</b></i> (המפה) is written as a <a href="Gloss_(annotation)" title="Gloss (annotation)">gloss</a> to the <i><a href="Shulchan_Aruch" title="Shulchan Aruch">Shulchan Aruch</a></i> of <a href="Yosef_Karo" class="mw-redirect" title="Yosef Karo">Yosef Karo</a>, discussing cases where <a href="Sephardi" class="mw-redirect" title="Sephardi">Sephardi</a> and <a href="Ashkenazi" class="mw-redirect" title="Ashkenazi">Ashkenazi</a> customs differ. Hamapah is the "tablecloth" for the <i>Shulkhan Aruch</i>, the "set table". Karo had based his <a href="Posek" title="Posek">normative positions</a> on three authorities: <a href="Maimonides" title="Maimonides">Maimonides</a>, <a href="Asher_ben_Jehiel" title="Asher ben Jehiel">Asher ben Jehiel</a> (the Rosh), and <a href="Isaac_Alfasi" title="Isaac Alfasi">Isaac Alfasi</a> (the Rif). Of these, only Asher ben Jehiel had non-<a href="Sephardic" class="mw-redirect" title="Sephardic">Sephardic</a> roots, having lived most of his life in <a href="Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a> before moving to <a href="Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a>, but even so, his work is largely Sephardic in orientation. Isserles thus created a series of glosses, in which he supplemented Karo with material drawn from the laws and customs (<a href="Minhag" title="Minhag"><i>Minhagim</i></a>) of <a href="Ashkenazi" class="mw-redirect" title="Ashkenazi">Ashkenazi</a> Jewry, chiefly based on the works of <a href="Yaakov_Moelin" class="mw-redirect" title="Yaakov Moelin">Yaakov Moelin</a>, <a href="Israel_Isserlein" title="Israel Isserlein">Israel Isserlein</a> and <a href="Israel_Bruna" title="Israel Bruna">Israel Bruna</a>.
</p><p>All editions of the <i>Shulchan Aruch</i> since 1578 include <i>HaMapah</i> embedded in the text (introduced by the word: הגה <i>Hagahah</i>, meaning "gloss"), and distinguished by a semi-cursive "<a href="Rashi#"Rashi_script"" title="Rashi">Rashi script</a>". Isserles' HaMapah was "considered to be an interpretation and supplement to Karo's work, while also challenging its claim to universal authority by introducing Ashkenazic traditions and customs that differed from the Sephardic ones. Rather than challenge the status of the Shulhan ‘Arukh, however, Isserles established the status of the Shulhan ‘Arukh as the authoritative text. In most of the editions since 1574, the Shulhan ‘Arukh was printed with HaMapah, thus creating an interesting tension that was realized on the printed page. It was an act of integrating the Sephardic tradition and its accommodation into the Ashkenazi world, the confirmation of the authority and its undermining appearing on the same page."<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The citations "indicating the sources in earlier authorities of the decisions in the annotations to the Shulchan Aruch, were not placed by Isserles. This may be seen from the fact that many times incorrect references are given. An anonymous scholar placed them at the end of each comment and gradually they have been mistaken as being indications of the author himself."<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Isserles' weaving "his comments into the main text as glosses, indicates, besides upholding the traditional Ashkenazi attitude to a text, that the work itself, meant to serve as a textbook for laymen, had been accepted in Rema's yeshivah at Krakow as a students' reference book. Instead of the Arba‘ah Turim, the main text for the study of posekim in the Ashkenazi yeshivah up to Rema's day, he chose to use the new book, which was free of accumulated layers of glosses and emendations, up-to-date and lucid, and arranged along the same lines as the old Turim so that it could easily be introduced into the yeshivah curriculum. This was the crucial step in altering the canonical status of the Shulhan Arukh."<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Today, the term "<i>Shulchan Aruch</i>" refers to the combined work of Karo and Isserles. This consolidation of the two works strengthened the underlying unity of the <a href="Sephardi" class="mw-redirect" title="Sephardi">Sephardi</a> and <a href="Ashkenazi" class="mw-redirect" title="Ashkenazi">Ashkenazi</a> communities. It is through this unification that the <i>Shulkhan Aruch</i> became the universally accepted <a href="Halakha#Codes_of_Jewish_law" title="Halakha">Code of Law</a> for the entire <a href="Jewish_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Jewish people">Jewish people</a>, with the notable exception of <a href="Yemenite_Jews" title="Yemenite Jews">Yemenite Jews</a> who still follow the <i>Rambam</i> (<a href="Maimonides" title="Maimonides">Maimonides</a>).
