Description

Can one erase the parsha of sotah from a sefer torah? Is a sefer torah, missing one letter, pasul? One needs to apply the principles of the torah to every situation. Why does one believe the one who produces a contract? When does a righteous sotah die? What attribute, did Rabbi Akiva have, that led him to be the giver of torah shel ba'al peh? Was there a roof over the temple courtyard? Why is a mitzvah compared to a candle, while the torah, to a torch? Can one throw in to a garbage can, an etrog, after Succot? Chumash: Vayigash- Why did Yaakov send Yehuda ahead of his family to Egypt?
