Is it advisable?   30:10 What’s the point of a positive and negative Mitzvah being seemingly the same. You must salt every offering, you must not bring an offering without salt. Guard the temple. Don’t leave it unguarded. Etc.    37:45 Is there an idea that Torah calls for extra respect toward a divorced woman in the same way it calls for the respect of a widow?   46:12 Given that the NJ Chinese restaurant that was recently found to be serving tarfus had a mashgiach at all times, and only the O-K agency officially had a key to the establishment, and yet it got away with serving trief for six months, how can we rely on these hashgachos? And is this situation worse in Israel, where none of the hashgachos require a mashgiach temidi?   53:38 If, according to Rambam, Avraham was only experiencing nevua with the three strangers, how do we know that any other miracle in Torah isn’t considered a vision?   1:02:12 Did the snake have free will?   1:05:00 How can Hashem challenge someone by making them homosexual?   1:16:24 Why is it that regardless of how great and knowledgeable a ger is, he can not become a dayan?    1:19:58 In terms of the last question, how do we look at the prophet Ovadia?   1:20:34 What’s the significance of Noach and the dove and a leper and releasing doves?   1:22:28 If a person is born of a Jewish mother and a non-Jewish father, is that person a mistake? What would have happened to this soul had this improper relationship not taken place?   1:26:17 How do we invite someone who is not frum to our Shabbos meal?   1:31:00 Can a non-religious Ashkenazi eat rice on Pesach at a Sefardi table?   1:32:57 If the first mitzva for Adam was Pru U’rvu, why is this not a mitzva for non-Jews?   1:35:42 What is the basis for that rule? If women join the army, are they obligated to get married?   1:38:44 Is there Kivush (conquest) by Adam or Noach?
