The Arukh HaShulchan He’Atid (“Arukh Hashulchan for the Future”) is a parallel work to Arukh HaShulchan by the same author. It focuses on laws not applicable during the life of the author, like agricultural laws that apply only in Israel and laws of sacrifices that apply only in Temple times. The work’s style parallels that of the Arukh Hashulchan, tracing laws to their origins and discussing the positions of recent and older authorities. It was published posthumously.
