00:00 What does the Rav make of the recent antisemitic comments of
Kyrie Irving?
04:48 How do we know that we’re not missing important mesora
after Catholic censorship?
20:12 If we die when we’ve made our tikkun, it’s fair to
assume each day we wake up we still have work to do. If so, why are
there ways to extend our life?
23:00 the fruits of genosar in Gemara Brachos?
30:40 Does Tinok shel nishbah apply to goyim? What about
Teshuva?
39:25 Should we learn more Ibn Ezra this year, given the
5783rd pasuk in the Torah?
44:20 What is the proper burial process for Jews and why is
cremation not acceptable? Is it also bad for non-Jews to be
cremated? And what does ashes to ashes dust to dust
entail?
52:45 How do we explain the Jewish view of homosexuality to
non-religious family members?
59:00 Is it an aveira to follow the royal news?
1:03:50 Is it appropriate to use religious themes to advance
political purposes? “It’s a mitzvah to vote for Gimmel” or
“possible to acquire Olam HaBah in one moment next to a picture of
Shas?
1:15:50 Since it is said that Hashem is making Shidduchim, how
do we understand the idea that people can marry the wrong person
and their soul may not be complete?
1:19:52 The Chazon Ish said we don’t change halacha based on
new discoveries, but didn’t he argue on certain halachos?
1:21:50 Is it Mutar to ask for some of your friend’s food (ex:
“can I have some” to your friend who is eating his snack in the
hallway of Yeshiva)? If someone asks and you don’t want to give
them, but you feel uncomfortable saying no, are you being Nichshal
them in Avak Gezel by giving them from your food?
1:26:02 Can the Rebbe help us understand why the halacha is to
not put out a tiny fire on Shabbat and allow it to burn your house
down, and if someone doesn’t put out a fire on Shabbat and it
spreads to the neighbors properties is he obligated in monetary
damages?
