Mielziner, along with some small changes, and concurrently, the approbations by Rabbis Ovadia Yosef and Aharon Feldman were removed. In the second edition (revised and expanded, 1996) however, the approbations were reinstated and other changes were made including mention of Mielziner on the inside title page (similar to the reprinted first edition) but no longer on the book's front cover; on the back cover, explicit mention of the book being "an adaptation of one section in Mielziner's book" (i.e., part III); and the omission of chapter 12.
