Description

Can one acquire bad traits from studying talmud? How should one educate children? Why did the L'vush not forgive the Sha'ges Arye? What is the nature of the din, that a father should not teach his daughter talmud? Can Sefardic women recite birchas ha'torah? How was torah taught, before the influence of the Gra? How are dayanim today taking bribes? Can a poor person accept a large donation? Can one sell chametz to a gentile on the condition that it reverts back to the Jew after Pesach? Which Jews cannot count towards a minyan? Can one perform magic? Chumash: Shemot- we listen to the prophesy of Moshe, because of the miraculous way that he transmitted the words of the torah to us.
