Description

Is there a source for singing a nigun without words? What is the relationship between love of God and fear of God? What do we do when there is a contradiction between how a pasuk is written and read? Was Avraham commanded to slaughter Yitzchak, or was it a non-obligatory request? In what situation can a married women be forbidden to her husband? Which five women are not believed to say that a man has died? What is the source for requiring two witnesses? In which three instances, are one witness believed, and are they biblical or rabbinic? Chumash-Toldot- Yitzchak always tried to emulate and follow whatever Avraham did, however sometimes God told him not to. Metzitza B'Peh should not be done today even if it was done by our parents.
