I have a question:
Are there any "work-books" you can recommend for Torah study? I somehow always find it very helful to have "assignments" or guidlines when studying. Thank you

The best introductory series for Torah study by adults is by Nechama Liebowitz, entitled Studies in Torah. It is in 7 volumes (Exodus and Leviticus are each broken into 2 books) that sell as a set for about $110.

It has about a half-dozen essays on each weekly portion. Each essay ends with several non-trivial and quite engrossing "Questions for Further Study". You can order from Amazon.Com by using the following links:  

Studies in Exodus (2 vols.)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=9994979353/thelearnersminyaA/

Studies in Deuteronomy
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0686762649/thelearnersminyaA/

Studies in Genesis
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=9995376849/thelearnersminyaA/

etc.

Be advised that Amazon often lists Jewish books as out-print even though they are not.
