Episode Synopsis
00:00 Can you make deals with Hashem? 3:56 Is there a reason why there haven't been more prayer rallies for Moshiach especially this year? 8:24 Why do we wear a kippah? Did Moshe Rabbeinu wear a headcovering? 13:52 Was there no one to bench for Shlomzion Hamalka and Yanai Hamelech that they needed Shimon ben Shetach? 24:19 When Techiyas Hameisim happens, what does that means for how our levels don't compare (e.g. Moshe Rabbeinu and R' Chaim Kanievsky)? 27:10 In the 2nd perek of Brachos, it mentions an Eved Kanani as kosher. What does that mean and why was Rabban Gamliel accepting condolences? 29:52 There is concept of a person wanting/trying to do a mitzva but is prevented by oneis. Does this apply to pru urvu? 33:12 What is the main kavana for the first perek of Shema? (Followup) In light of that, how do we understand Derech Teva? 44:15 Can a Jew receive or donate an organ, & does it depends if the other person is a Goy? 50:12 How far does Pikuach Nefesh go? For instance, could one eat a shellfish to eliminate certain risks of future cancer? 53:08 (Followup) Would removing an ovary be totally asur in the same way as male castration? ________________________ A Project Of Ohr.Edu Questions?
