Question
How far does the obligation to support a Jewish over a non-Jewish competitor go? Where I live is there is a Jewish-owned kosher supermarket and several non-Jewish supermarket franchises. The non-Jewish stores sell plenty of kosher products and many of the same items as the kosher store, often for less money. Sometimes it is more convenient to go to the non-Jewish stores when I am closer to one. And the kosher supermarket gets so crowded that there are very few times during the week when the lines are short enough that I really feel like going there. The owner of the kosher store is very wealthy and isn’t missing much if I shop somewhere else.

Question
I have very small hands for an adult male, even smaller than my wife’s hands. There are cheap ladies gloves that are available in stores in lots of colors, but the ones in dark neutral colors look like they can be men’s gloves. It’s convenient for my wife and I to be able to share them. Does a man wearing ladies gloves that don’t look particularly feminine violate the biblical prohibition against wearing clothes of the opposite gender?

Question
According to this article it is conceivably possible for human beings to turn their bone marrow into sperm and impregnate without physical intercourse. My question is, when this becomes possible would a woman be allowed to impregnate herself with her own bone marrow, or would this be prohibited Arayot (likely incest)? Is this prohibited in Halacha?

Question
Hey Rabbi, Some neighbors invited me over Saturday at nightfall to join them for “the havdalah ceremony.” Would you mind telling me what to expect so I can hopefully appreciate the ceremony? I’m sure they will explain some things but I feel better being somewhat prepared. Thanks!
