00:00 What is the definition of a rasha and a talmid
chochom?
04:20 What is the Bircas hamozon etiquette and who says
tehilas Hashem?
11:34 How do we relate to Halacha vs mitzvos
consequentially?
16:57 Does doing teshuva on spilling seed retroactively get
rid of the demons that were created from the act?
26:50 I listened to one of the lectures on real jewish
intimacy and it mentioned that couples that don't get along in this
world will also continue driving each other crazy in the next world
(Zohar). What about those jewish couples that got divorced and
don't get remarried?
28:28 What does it mean to be a Jewish doctor? Are there
certain halachos that need to be followed differently?
31:40 Does one get reward for wearing tzitzis at night or
while sleeping?
34:40 Where does someone draw the line between bitul Torah and
time for relaxing?
39:20 What’s the argument from Avraham to save Sodom?
48:00 I have recently started learning ערוך השולחן as my
Halacha Sefer. What I find best about the Aruch is that, unlike the
Mishnah brura, he always gives a psak. My question is whether i can
I use this Sefer as my go to Halacha resource and can rely on all
the aruch’s Psak, even if it goes against the MB and other more
embraced piskei Halacha. Essentially, can the Aruch HaShulchan be
my ‘rebbi’.
58:35 What Torah is exactly taught to the baby by the angel in
the womb?
1:03:45 What is the origin of saying or not saying a bracha on
mezonos by dessert at a bread meal?
1:09:00 When exactly should a davener interrupt to answer the
chazan?
1:11:30 Should we consider learning the Netivos Olam sefer by
Maharal in English?
1:15:25 What are the general principles of giving cavod to
rebbeim?
1:19:07 How many people does a chazan have to wait for in
order to begin the chazaras hashatz?
1:20:12 What’s the value of making a siyum?
1:22:02 If I am at a concert or sporting event, can I move to
a vacant, more expensive seat assuming there is no chillul
Hashem? Is there a difference if I want to move to a less
expensive seat, if it's superior in my eyes? Can I walk into a
hotel and use the lobby bathroom without asking permission, or
is this a form of gezel?
1:25:17 What are the parameters of doing certain acts of
charity for a person based on their wealth?
1:28:42 Does the standing for a Rav minimally make a
difference?
1:29:58 What makes a Rav merit to have their own psak? Like
the GRA? Why is it accepted?
1:31:45 Is there a source for saying mazal tov by a simcha,
and is this a tefila or a bracha?
1:34:10 When exactly should we say amen?
1:36:02 Does saying mazal tov count for loving my neighbor as
myself?
1:36:30 Should I notify someone not to count me in a minyan if
I already davened?
1:37:04 How should someone be sure that their humility is not
coming from an arrogant place?
