Additional Oral Law classification systems?

These are the systems of organizing the Oral Law that are known to me:




  1. By weekly Parashah (like Midrash Rabbah)


  2. The 6 Sdarim and the 60 (or more) Tractates.


  3. Rambam's 14 books of Mishnah Torah


  4. Books on the 613 Mitzvahs only (Chinuch, Sma"G)


  5. Partial law (only potentially observable Halochos): the 4 Turim and Shu"A and Kitzurim



Are there additional systems of organizing the Halochos of the Oral Law? Are there any contemporary research or proposals?

    The Chareidim organizes by body part. And arguably, the Tur is a variant of the 6 sedarim, collapsed because there is little to say about 2 of the sedarim nowadays: Orakh Chaim = Zera'im (Berakhos) + Mo'eid; Yoreh Dei'ah = Qodshim + Taharos (including the mesechtos qetanos); Even haEzer = Nashim; Choshein Mishpat = Neziqin.

    @MichaBerger The 6 sedarim doesn't seem to be a principle of the Tur's contents. e.g. tsitsit and tefillin should be in Yore De'a (in Mishnah in Menachot), interest should be in Choshen Mishpat (in Mishnah in Bava Metsia)

R. Eliezer of Metz organized his Sefer Yereim under seven “pillars”:




  1. Arayot

  2. Food

  3. Things prohibited to benefit from

  4. Monetary prohibitions

  5. Matters which harm other people but do not involve theft

  6. Matters which affect only G-d

  7. Matters which affect only G-d and are not dependent on speech
