Shulchan Aruch Harav Bilingual Edition Volume 7 Laws of Passover Part 1 Simanim 429 - 452
The sefer begins by introducing the month of Nissan and the customs observed in the days before Pesach. It then describes the laws pertaining to the search for and the nullification and obliteration of chametz, going into precise detail regarding what is a Scriptural requirement, what is a Rabbinic ordinance, and what is a custom accepted in the later generations. In subsequent sections, it focuses on the laws governing chametz belonging to a Jew that was entrusted to a non-Jew or held by a non-Jew as security for a loan and conversely, chametz belonging to a non-Jew that was entrusted to a Jew under similar circumstances. The sefer also explains the convention of selling chametz to a non-Jew, and includes an addendum where the Alter Rebbe explains the roots of that practice and the halachic issues involved. That addendum contains a sample bill of sale, which the Alter Rebbe wrote, intending that it be used in actual practice. This sefer also includes sections dealing with mixtures of chametz and permitted substances, and the laws governing hag’alah. These sections contain fundamental concepts relevant to the laws of kashrus

Born in White Russia, 1745, the author was a disciple of the Maggid of Mezritch, who was a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov, who saw him once, attending his three-year-old hair-cutting ceremony. He was a descendant of the Maharal of Prague. He studied under a scholar in Lubavitch until age 12, then alone, and studied Kabbalah, mathematics, and geometry. At 13 he gave a talk in Talmud and was identified as a Torah genius, becoming part of the Chevra Kadisha and registered on a list only for meritorious mature scholars. Once married, with his wife's consent, he spent the dowry settling Jewish city dwellers who were poor onto agricultural land. His science and math skills earned him a good name with the local nobility. He went to study with the Maggid of Mezritch although his father-in-law did not want him to, and became preacher in Liozna. He wrote a Shulchan Aruch edited from Joseph Karo's, and later wrote the Tanya, and Torah Or, and Likkutei Torah. He had 100,000 disciples, was imprisoned twice through words spread by enemies, and passed away fleeing Napoleon, in the winter, passing on the the Kursk district at 68. He was vehemently opposed to Napoleon due to the dangers the latter's libertarian teachings would have posed to the Jewish way of life.
