We learned from various sources that in the times of mashiach all money will be worth nothing and everyone’s bank account will be equal to zero. Does this contradict the promise to people that give maser (they get a protection on their money) or give chomesh (they are promised to be rich)?

Shalom Rabbi. Assuming a Jewish person (a man) has a Ladino background, can they learn songs like: "Kuando el rey nimrod" To teach their children? Is this a good way to teach children by singing songs to them? Are their any Ladino/Sephardic children's singing book songs that can be recommended? Thank you in advanced!

Q: I would like clarification on giving the 10th tithe... Is it from the gross of the income or the net of the income. Thank you Rabbi

I co-sign for a co-worker back in 2014 for a vehicle. I did not know him well and turn out to be schizophrenic. He defaulted on the loan threw carmax back in 2015. They sold the vehicle for less than half of what was worth. Do I still have to pay what is left? I never received any physical money and they repossessed the vehicle. And if so, am I allowed to ask to settle for less? Ever since this happen I learned about hitbodedut and talking to Hashem. I started to read Jewish books and read "La bendicion de Dar". I've been separating the 20% And have been giving to Jewish congregations since 2015. Please advice me.

Must a non Jewish married woman also cover her hair?

Dear Rabbi, Does Yom Kippur "work" for non-Jews also, or is it just for Jews? In regards to the 10 days to "appeal" the Rosh HaShanah verdict. Thank you very much!

How can a non Jew learn the specific prohibitions of Torah study? I may have learned esoteric teachings and I’m starting to recognize the seriousness of it Also, there are courses for Noahides about Halachic study of the Noahide commandments but some chachamim even prohibit the in depth study of Torah. Is in depth study of Tanakh or Chumash probhibited? Thank you Kvod HaRav.

Shalom rav, The money that I will give to you on this app can is it towards Kiruv on wasting seed?

Dear Rabbi, Is meditation practiced in Judaism and is it a way to connect with HaShem? I’ve stumbled upon the works of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, and in his books he says meditation has been part of Judaism but it has been kind of “forgotten”, also it’s linked with the mystical part of Judaism, Kabbalah. I know the western standard meditation would be linked with Avodah Zarah, but is there a kosher meditation to connect deeper with HaShem and would you recommend the practice ?

Regarding t'shuvah I understand that it is extremely important to be very regretful and sorry for what you have done and not doing it anymore, however is there any specific prayers and other steps involved in completing t'shuvah properly? Fasting? X # of Torah hours? Thank you!

Is a man required to wear a Kippah when studying Torah at home?

Hi rabbi, I’d like to know if downloading applications or softwares on the Internet that are supposed to be paid but getting it without paying is still considered stealing? Thanks

Shalom Rabbi, 1. We are taught to make shabbat a day of joy and delight, Is it wrong to get emotional and cry on shabbat during prayers or songs we sing? It is tears of both joy (the honour to serve and praise Hashem) and sadness (reflection of my state and longing for more time with Hashem). 2. Can we ask for forgiveness for past mistakes on shabbat? It is difficult to be positive and remain joyful in this state.

Dear Rabbi, thank you in advance for your time!! If a Noahide had an abortion at 18 weeks due to pregnancy complications (mother had lots of cramping and spotting from 8 weeks on, and confirmed baby had spina bifida with a blood test & multiple ultrasounds), but mother’s life wasn’t inherently in danger of death, did she commit murder, according to Torah law? Secondly, is the process of doing Teshuva (regardless of the sin) the same for a Noahide as it is for a Jew? We heard what you said re Teshuva, but we also heard that you said it was much harder for a Noahide to be/become righteous. Thank you!

Dear Rabbi, I was born into a catholic family from Brazil. My whole family unfortunately still believes in the non sense of christianity, aside from me, I was able to see the Emet, Baruch HaShem! It’s hard for me to know that my father, mother, siblings, aunts, cousins, everyone from my lineage still believes in something fake but worst than that, it’s idolatry. My last name is Pinto de Abreu, and I have a feeling that we may be descendants of Jews, given by my last name, the Jews who fled from Portugal to Brazil during the Spanish Inquisition, and many ended up losing their roots and maybe through intermarriage started adopting catholicism. My question is this, in a situation like this, how can we save our family members from punishment? Are we able to intervene for them after they have passed? What’s your advice in dealing with family members who are lost to save them from eternal punishment? It’s tough to see your loved ones living an absolute lie 😔

Lecture 38, HaShkafa approx 20 min mark, what is the name of the 3 book set in laws of Shabbat, in English please. Thank you.

Hi my name is Marisa. I’m 41. My husband of 20 years is Roman Catholic. He’s been wasting his seed for many years and still Hashem rewarded me with 9 children to date. He says he supports my decision to convert to Judiasm, but will not invest any of his money into my conversion. I’m selling my valuable possessions and doing Teshuva at home. What else should I be doing? Thank you.

Orchos Yosher Chapter 5 (The glory of the face), rav Kanievsky gives a few examples of why it is so important to grow a beard. He also mentions that wearing a wristwatch could be the reason a man has problems or suffering. -Should I take of my watch and sell it? -Why exactly is this the cause of problems and suffering? -Why do so many religious Jews wear wristwatches? -Is this the reason why you do not wear a wristwatch?

How can I stop thinking heretical thoughts and having hatred and bitterness?

Greetings team, Im a non jew from Australia born and raised in sin/ corruption. Would just like to get an opinion on this topic from a rabbi rather then a psychiatrist. When I'm fathoming good in my mind it feels like there is an extreme opposite evil thought trying desperately to intrude. Its gotten to the point where I'm getting blasphemous thoughts and the only thing I can do is address the thought then feel disgusted and hopeless. I'm only 21 and actively trying to condition myself out of this fake reality and of my own desires but due to these thoughts it feels like I'll be going to 7th level gehinom until my soul is destroyed. Thank you for all your efforts in saving the world
