Hi rabbi, im a kid from school and it always annoys me how people are smarter than me. They remember answers for a test for studying for 5 minutes and it takes me a long time to study. How should I go about this?

Why does G-d give bad situations to people who did nothing wrong

This is Paige again, sorry. I just wanted to clarify that I know the Torah speaks against rape and sexual assault- I just never heard about that from my family, rabbi, synagogue or Hebrew school growing up. And my family didn’t protect me or handle it well. I guess I was more asking why this isn’t something that is more clear. My family rabbi etc growing up also were never clear about Jewish afterlife. I was raised reform, so maybe that’s why? Just interested to hear your thoughts on subject.

Kvod harav, I have heard many stories of how people including wicked people did teshuva right before they died by wishing they never had done any of the sins they ever commited and wish they had a completely clean slate and once they died it was proclaimed that they gained back there olam haba and lost gehenom and didn’t require it since the teshuva atoned for all the sins and they did not need to go through the cleansing process because they cleaned it luckily before they passed. Is this true or just a made up ?

Is there a time in the night that you can’t say kriyat shema (like you can’t say it past a certain time)? Or can I say it whenever I go to sleep?

My local Chabad Rabbanit suggested I write a letter to the Lubavitcher Rebbe and send it to the Ohel for a Refuah Shalemah and/or blessings for success. I believe it is called a Goral. Can you please explain this? I’m Sephardic and I know the power of praying at the gravesites of Tzadikim such as the Lubavitcher Rebbe. But, to write a letter to the Rebbe. Is this allowed? Maybe I didn’t understand what she meant. They have a website stating you may write a letter for the Rebbe’s guidance and intervention on high as an age old tradition of written prayer petitions at our holiest sites. Is this acceptable? I know we can only direct prayers HaShem.

Kvod Harav, Why were people so tall in the time of the Chumash/Navi,?why did they have super natural abilities?why did they live so much longer than we do? Toda Raba!!

Is bodybuilding exercise or wearing muscle shirts considered dressing immodestly? (Of course worn with head covering and long pants)

Is a bracha without an amen still a bracha? Someone said that it’s not which makes me question all the brachas I’ve done over meals eaten alone

Hello Rabbi are you allowed to answer Amen to someone's blessing after you washed for motsi

Dear Rabbi, Does praying for someone to come out of idol worship for a long time have any effects at all....if so how can I do more for that person if you are unable to talk to them...will giving tzedakah for their sake help? Thank you!

With all due respect rabbi, when the person commented about not being able to use the app with the screen on dark mode.. You made an insulting remark and asked him if he wants a refund for the free app that he downloaded, and it was followed by a laughing emoji. I think that it was inappropriate to embarrass him. What you should have said is “thank you for your feedback and we are constantly working on improving our app to make it more user friendly and improving it for our users. Thank you. “

Dear Rabbi, Thanks for replying to my earlier question. I have recently adopted the approach to look deep spiritually when a bad thing happens in my life, after listening to your lectures on youtube. So recently my phone broke down.Some short-circuit happened. So I looked deep and i realised that 3 years back. Someone had accidentally recharged my singapore sim card for around 20 singapore dollars. And since I was in India, I didnt bother to return the money🙈. Now I paid around 40 singapore dollars for the repair. So I want to ask you. Do I still owe the 20 dollars to that person? Since I already got punished for 40 dollars- twice the amount. I know that person's number as he was calling me to ask money. So if his number hasnt changed i could still do the reharge on his phone. Is this black spot wiped out ? Or do I still owe him money. Best regards, Rumi Sethna

Kvod harav is their such a thing as time travel or something alike in the tora (real life)

Why do weird things happen when I realize Ain Od Milvado?

Shalom rabbi, I’ve kept my brit for close to 100 days now and my yetzer of women went down a lot bh, but at the same time I’m not really attracted to them as much, mind you I’m still strait but not like I would ever want to get married, is this normal?

Kvod haRav, a man was hired through a temp agency as an administrative assistant, he worked for the firm but was paid through the agency. One day the man saw the invoices from the temp agency - they showed him classified as a receptionist which pays several dollars less per hr. than the position he was actually performing. The man stayed quiet bc he was fearful his temp position would be eliminated. Later his position became permanent but at the same pay rate. The employee had little negotiating power so he continued working but began to inflate his hours to "make up the difference". Dear Rav it seems that both parties stole from each other. Can you steal back what you are cheated from? If party A stole $8k and party B stole back $6k, would they both need to pay each other back the full amount to make Teshuva or only the net amount needs to be repaid?
