Description

The beis hamikdash is the center of tefilah, torah, and nevuah. How can one fulfil the obligation of writing a sefer torah? Which mitzvot can be fulfilled with partners? The obligation of a king to write a torah. The sanhedrin hagadol is needed to be present by the beis hamikdash, in order for the beis hamikdash to be considered complete. The nature of the prohibition of music, after the destruction of the beis hamikdash. Who are the earlier and later neviim? What is the nature of kol isha, and does it apply to zemiros? Rabbis should minimize their communities sins, if they cannot eliminate them. Today we have bas kols. Chumash- Lech Lecha: Lot originally believed in monotheism before he was corrupted by Egyptian culture(now American cult.)
