Tables not behaving

Having tried this with several table-type blocks–both from Kadence Blocks (Row Layout) and WP Core (Table, Columns, Row)–I need your help to control the appearance of multiple tables’ contents on page *Login to see link 2nd tab (Definite Articles):

Specifically, the issues are:
1. Table structures shouldn’t go off the page at right.
2. Tables shouldn’t have scroll bars. (Currently they don’t, but some of my experiments resulted in unnecessary scroll bars.)
3. Line spacing of should be far tighter.
4. In the right-most column of the page’s 3rd table (the one with the headings *Rule* and *Example*), punctuation is transposed and appears at the extreme right instead of the extreme left. Note, that column contains Hebrew text and the period was typed at the end of the sentence — but it appears at right. What’s interesting is that the table above this one displays the periods at the correct locations.
5. I had difficulty controlling column widths.
6. This last one’s optional: Is it easily possible to specify borders at the cellular level? Specifically, on the first table, I would like to eliminate the top and left borders of cell A1, as indicated in the attached image? [I did not receive confirmation that the image upload was successful; hopefully the question’s language is clear enough.]

Thanks in advance,
