Amazing work. Firstly why don't you have a introduction of all the different printing in the beginning?
Aslo why don't you add a index for the 39 melachos in the back page of Hilchos shabbos? Many time people want to learn a specific melacha but are confused we're to find it expessially since it sometimes is found in more than one siman. (I already made one and would be happy to share it) Reply

When was the Shulchan Aruch of the Alter Rebbe first printed? Reply

EK December 21, 2019
in response to Anonymous:

1816 in Kapost was the first printing by his children.
However, there were published segments during the lifetime of the Alter Rebbe.
Hilchos Talmud Torah printed Shklov in 1794.
The Luach Birchos Hanenenin printed in Shklov in 1800.

You can see an electronic version of the first print in the following link:

Is the entire Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Oruch Yoreh Deah being translated into English?
How many vol will it be?
Thank you Reply

Niel via sie.org December 12, 2021
in response to Yitzchok:

Theyre just releasing the final volume of Orach Chaim vol#9 on hilchos yom tov. Then theyre going to be working on translating Yoreh deah finally as the final segment to complete for the series. So given that orach chaim is 10 volumes of the alter rebbes shulchan aruch weiss edition, and choshen mishpat is volume 12, yoreh deah will probably be 1 volume as volume 11. Reply

Yitzchok December 13, 2021
in response to Niel:

That's big news.
Thank you Reply

Niel December 15, 2021
in response to Yitzchok:

Correction, Yoreh Deah is already being worked on as we speak. a further update. Reply
