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?
