Thank you for the app Rabbi. To my dismay I can't load any answer which you have recorded as a response. I sometimes wait an hour and it's still loading. Is there anything we can do to help improve these services?

Hi, Kvod Harv, I would like to know if braces is a halachic problem with meat then dairy? Example: If someone eats meat with them the meat will absorb into the metal, Will the person later on be able to eat/drink dairy products?

Kvod harav, Is being an organ donor permitted?

Hello Kavod HaRav, how can I work on being less hateful? I feel a lot of hatred for some reason

Kvod harav, I’ve been facing a certain problem at synagogue for a long time now. The kahal prays much faster than i do, to the point where my prayers never have kavana and end up being empty and rushed. So my question is should we be better off praying at home alone but with kavanah, or still go to synagogue just for the sake of praying with a minyan. Thank you.

Kvod harav, I recently learned the severity of talking in Beit knesset. How can I do teshuva for this?

I am in the process of converting , my boyfriend is Jewish both his father and mother are Jewish however they attend a conservative shul . I would like to know if it possible for an orthodox and a conservative to marry ? He also stated that he is willing to observe the orthodox way . Is there something that is required of a Jew who once practice reformed or conservative to do before observing the orthodox way?

How do we relate to the notion that by asking a Rabbi a question about a truth in a public or semi-public setting, we might accidentally contribute to the weakening of an audience member’s emunah and push him or her away from Hashem and His Torah, because the person might become so enamored with the question that they do not listen to the answer. Todah Rabah.

Is Middot the primary word for character traits in Hebrew or do we use the word for measurements just as a representation of character traits?

Thanks for taking my question Rabbi. My family is in the process of going through gerus. I have a 21 year old son with Autism who has a problem with Zera levatalia. I talk to him daily about this and even watched the movie Tikkun HaBrit with him. I had him to do Viduy. I believe he's trying to stop but there are failures almost everyday. I don't want to lose him to Gehinom. What can I do to reach him in a way he'll understand? I know you said HaShem won't assist us in the teshuvah, but would He help someone with Special Needs or at least open his heart to comprehend? Please help. I do give tzedakah on his behalf. What else can I do. Would HaShem assist a person with Special Needs who struggles with Zera levatalia? Thanks.

When I first went to Beit Knesset, I took a siddur off the shelf and a kippah out of the kippah’s basket, home cause I didn’t have one, I didn’t know that it was considered stealing. The siddur and the kippah now is not in their original condition once I took them. Do I have to buy them new ones, or I can Just pay them Tzedaka equal to their amount? And When I was very young below bar Mitzvah Age before knowing about the Torah and Teshuva, I stole from my Grandparents who are now passed away, how much money should I return to my Parents if I don’t remember the exact number plus this was a long time ago, that money back then is now worth more, And how do I pay my parents if I don’t work? May I help them around for no pay, and this can atone for it? If yes for how long?

Hello Kvod HaRav, is there any laws pertaining to charity? For example a kid who likes giving away money to his friends because he thinks it is good but people end up scorning him

Recently one of my Jewish friends committed suicide and it was very unexpected. Can you please make a lecture online about suicide, what happens when you commute suicide and so on? I know it is prohibited in Judaism but don’t know what happens to the soul after suicide vs natural death. Thank you, Sarah Cohn

Baruj hashem hashem blessed me whith a powerful mind ben porat yosef and sometimes unfortunately the yetser hara takes over and until I wake up i have already used my mind to picture very bad things What can I do to always be in control and how can I use this gift for tora Thank you kvod harav

I remain torn as I see the green passport to a way back to how things were. I do not want to disappoint my father who has expressed to the family not to take vaccine however we should be taking this as to preserve life as I understand. Is there any good references I can use to change my fathers mind and so that I don’t feel that I am making the wrong choice by taking it?

Hello rabbi, Do I have to pray outloud or can I pray in my head.

If I make a bracha in one room and than walk into another do I need a new bracha? Example: if I make a mezonot in room “A” Than I go into room “B” and want to eat another (cookie or something) do I need a new bracha?

Kvod HaRav, I am 14 and try to keep Shabbat, however, my parents force me with help of my brother to get in the car and drive to our relatives home for dinner and I have no way of working around this, however, I keep all other halachot of Shabbat. My parents love Torah when it is convenient or “tradition”, but insult it when it obligates them even when the truth is in their face. Is H’ happy with me that I’m doing the best I can or is this still Karet?

Kvod Harav Is it considered that I'm an accomplice in my OTD sister's sins if I drive her (and her friends) someplace? Not specifically to a forbidden place. Whether they will chill together somewhere, go to a mall (they may buy immodest clothes, eat non kosher...) etc? Also, I think you said something recently about how we can't drink wine that someone who is mechallel shabbat poured. Does that apply to her (she is mechallel shabbat)? Can I not drink from the bottle once she pours from it? And are there any related issues that I need to be aware of when living with someone like this?

Can i call out people that speak against Judaism?
