Why is it a problem to understand Gehinom as a process of cleansing instead of punishment? If it is a punishment gets the soul pure out of it? I understood this washmashine analogy from the Chabadnicks that one suffers and afterwards one is cleansed or more pure - the suffering is necessary in order to cleanse but dont ask me what from - Klipot? I am asking because I wonder, if we see Gehinom as a punishment what effect does it has on the soul besides suffering? And is one, if one doesnt end up in level 7, allowed to heaven afterwards?
As a Noahide is it wrong in any way shape or form to read Torah while drinking an alcoholic beverage??? Thanks
Shalom Rabbi. My name's is Ezra Nassiem. I was born to a Jewish "Muslim" mother. my nother is a Jewish immigrant from Baghdad but she converted to Islam. I was born and raised as a Muslim. I am also married to a Muslim woman. I never interested in Judaism before because my family never talked about it. Two years ago I watched Yosef Mizrachi's video, I also watched your video on YouTube and I continue to do that until now and it made me become interested in Judaism. I started reading books about the Jewish people and it thrilled my heart. a few months ago I decided to buy tefillin and i learn how to put on tefillin according minhag sephardi. but the problem is, I keep praying five times a day like a Muslim, but every morning I put on tefillin and reciting shema Israel. what should i do rabbi? Is it ok?

If I want to invest in stocks, what is considered sufficient research? If I watch multiple videos, look at many statistics, and read articles is that enough research for my investment to not be considered gambling? Also, can I invest in stocks on the side even though it is not my full time profession? Thank you so much, and hatzlacha Rabah!
Hi Rabbi My Ex Wife became a Jwitness and converted my daughter as well. I am trying to save her Neshama. She sent me this:Yes he’s also punishing the Jews for rejecting his son. Like I’ve told you before. Jesus stated that the temple would never be rebuilt for the jews to offer sacrifices for their forgiveness ever again. He was the sacrifice for the forgiveness of their sins and they rejected him. Because of this Jesus stated that they would never again be allowed to rebuild the temple. He was right. He also said the destruction was coming and told the Jews to flee to the mountains. Those that listened to him were spared and survived. How do i answer her? Regards Gideon Lapidus

I have been married a few years now and recently learned that my husband has been battling the habit of wasting seed since a teenager... to this present day. I’m devastated. I’m happy he is trying to fight this and building a little support group of learned men etc.... I want to have compassion on him... but I cannot help but feel like the intimacy in our marriage is destroyed. I’m so heartbroken. Are there other women I can speak to about this? What should I do? Thank you.
Hello kvod ha rav, Dear rabbi, I am a Noahide and am deeply troubled and saddened that my mother did not perform Bris Milah on me because she was brainwashed by our Christian family members. Will I be cut off? Am I now Kareth? I’m deeply afraid and saddened by this. I don’t want to be condemned. Sometimes I want to take a razor and do the bris myself because I can’t afford the surgery but back out from cowardice from the pain I will feel from it , I don’t see a way to fix this I am always in fear from this. Please help.
From a Noahide; I understand fully that Jewish children should not attend secular schools. Isn’t it obvious that righteous gentiles avoid it as well?

I wasted seed so many times, and I feel terrible. I lost olam haba so many times. Now, I’m trying to do TeShuva but It’s hard because I always think about how low I fell with all my sins... I’m broken. Whenever I pray I can’t stop thinking about my pgamim. When I am learning Torah I feel like it’s worthless because of all my pgamim... I fell so low. How do I serve HaShem like this?
