Halacha:

Tzedakah 

Collections: R' Schneeweiss Q&A

Description

This morning (2/24/23), in our second Friday Q&A (this one for women), we took up five questions: (1) If the texts of Torah she'baal Peh "evolved" to suit the needs of the times, why can't this happen with the text of tefilah as well? (2) What advice do I have for how to insert personal requests in the amidah? (3a) When doing chesed, should we prioritize people we know or strangers? (3b) What is our obligation of tzedakah for non-Jews? (4a) Now that I'm out of seminary and in college, what should I focus on in learning? (4b) [censored question about learning Gemara] (5a) Did the Christian opposition to Harry Potter in the 1990s have any basis? (5b) Should books ever be banned because of their dangerous content?
