Question
The Torah tells us l'yirah ליראה Hashem. This is frequently translated as to fear Hashem. I have always understood this to mean to respect or be in awe of Hashem. What do you belive it means?

Question
The area I just moved to has no eruv. I moved into a gated community in the area. The entire development is surrounded by an uninterrupted fence. It has one entrance for cars and two for pedestrians. The car entrance/exit has a set of gates that slide open whenever an authorized car approaches and closes once the car passes through, forming a complete seal. The pedestrian entrances are metal gate-style doors that open with a key provided to each tenant. Can this be considered an eruv that would permit carrying within the development?

Question
In the Torah, Exodus 21:8 it is commanded that a man who acquires a Jewish girl sold by her parent has to either marry or redeem her. My question is, what if after he buys her he becomes mentally incompetent, what happens to her?

Question
According to Halacha, it is permissible for Jews to recite havdalah early before Shabbat ends (although it’s recommend to do so in extenuating circumstances). My question is, does the same rule apply to Yom tov?
