The structure of the book

The book is structured into Roots, Branches, and Leaves. Each root, which represents a large chapter is given a name whose first letters are always an acronym for Shabbat.

In the most recent publication of this book, it is somewhat randomly divided into sections based on the weekly Torah portions so that if one learns a few pages each week, he can finish the whole book (both volumes) in two years. Since the weekly division are just a suggested study calendar do not expect that the portion dedicated to a particular Parsha, will have anything to do with that parsha.

I am not yet sure if I will be trying to do a close translation, or just to explain the main ideas in my own language. I may play around with different ways and please let me know what works best.
