Description

The gemara talks about the lives of the Jews while living in Egypt, and explains many of the miracles which occurred in Egypt. Can the world be destroyed again, not with a flood? Was Job real or not? When does a miracle suspend the laws of nature? Before Hashem separated Adam from Chava, who was facing forward, and who was facing backwards? Why is rosh chodesh a holiday for women? How is the obligation of limud torah, different, between men and women? Why did Pharoh ask of the Jewish midwives to kill the babies, instead of asking of the Egyptian midwives? Why did Hashem reward the midwives with houses? Chumash:Metzora-why is the metzora sent out from all walled cities built from the time of Joshua?
