Notes:-
1- The book consists of 80 pages, including 7 topics with the introduction, which are: Hannah requests a son,
Eli and Samuel, Saul and the Witch, for what reason was Abner ⟦wasted⟧, King David
with the wasp and the spider, Absalom ⟦finishes⟧ the conversation for him. The book consists of
some legends mentioned by Jewish rabbis during teaching about this book in
synagogues, the Beth Midrash, and other ancient Jewish study locations.
2- Some passages from the Torah from the Book of Samuel were included in the book with
their explanation and questions about them; the purpose is to study what was mentioned in Jewish religious books, especially
the Mikra. Jewish clergymen also try to inform students on how to study the Mikra and how
they delved deep into their research on specificities in order to edit this book.

3- The Babylonian Talmud is defined by the book as a collection of discussions and conversations
that took place in Babylon regarding the Mishnah. It is rather a collection of laws and debates mentioned
regarding the laws of the Torah, and the Mishnah was authored in Israel.
4- The book contains a set of questions whose answers are in the Torah, and the student
must search for them and record them in his book. These questions consist of religious sermons and guidance
or charitable acts such as providing assistance when calling for help, prayer, and preserving
religious traditions. It was also mentioned in the introduction the places where Jews taught their children
in the past, how they used to go to them, and so on. The intention behind it is undoubtedly so that
the student compares what studying was like previously and currently, and consequently adheres to religious
matters because schools are close to him, books are available, and everything can be obtained
easily.
5- There is no deception or distortion in the book.
