The text is presented in two facing columns that enable the reader to alternate easily between the original and the translation. The footnote markers keyed to the English notes were added to the Hebrew text as well, to enable a reader studying in Hebrew to access them. The glosses of the Kuntres Acharon were placed at the back of the main body of the book Vocalized and punctuated Hebrew text. Translated and Annotated by Rabbi Eliyahu Touger and Uri Kaploun

Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi's Code of Jewish Law in clear and contemporary English facing the Hebrew text, complete with footnotes below the line, done in 2-tone, in black and bright red, covering the laws of the Shema, Prayer, the Priestly Blessing, the Supplications that follow the Shemoneh Esreh, Torah Study, and Business Involvement.

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.
