00:00 Considering the 13 Principles of Faith in order to not be a heretic. What of Rashi’s statement from the Gemara that the final 8 pesukim of the Torah were written by Yoshua? 6:38 is it a mitzvah deoreisa or d’rabbanan to stand for a Talmid Chacham or a Rav? 12:44 In the Gemara it says 40 days before one is conceived a bashert is dictated. Is this true? 21:00 How is it that minhagim become Halacha? (e.g. Ashkenazim; Shabbos)? 26:39 Was there an issue with Moshe Rabbeinu eating the Korban Pesach since his son had no bris milah? 29:20 Any gezeira that most of the congregation are unable to keep, the gezira is repealed. Is that only the initial generation?  31:39 What will Halacha be like in the times of Moshiach? 36:39 What is the system for reuniting lost Jews when Moshiach comes? 39:27 Why is it permissible to observe Tu B'Shevat if it is Shabatian? 54:13 What was the tayva of Avodah Zara in Tanakh? 57:38 Was there a physical feeling from the Avodah Zara in the old days? 55:14 is the Shulchan Aruch binding? 58:28 If there is a minyan of exactly 10 mourners, does anyone answer? ___________________________________________________ Rabbi Dr Yitzchak Breitowitz, of Ohr Somayach Jerusalem, discussing the most common questions about Judaism.   To submit questions, feedback or for sponsorship opportunities, contact us at: [email protected] SHEMOS 5781 (Produced by: CedarMediaStudios Podcasts)
