Description

Why is wine handled by a gentile prohibited? Are there Jews today, who are in the category of violating the shabbos in public? Is there a difference between the shechitah of a gentile, a meshumad, and a galach? Can a meshumad be a sofer? Should women be honored with sewing a sefer torah together? Can women affix a mezuzah? Should rabbis punish today, in our modern society, those who violate the torah? What is the biblical prohibition in killing a gentile? Are heart transplants permissible? Can a kohen duchan if he killed a terrorist? Can a shochet slaughter at night? Chumash: Lech Lecha- Why was Avraham commanded to go to Eretz Yisrael? Which non-agricultural mitzvos apply only in Israel and why? Who is part of klal yisrael and why?
