Question
So the Torah was offered to all the nations of the world. How did G-d communicate this offer to the other nations, and how in turn did the other nations communicate their rejection? Seemingly they weren’t having back-and-forth conversations with G-d in the same way humans talk to each other. And so many nations did not even believe He existed.

Question
Hi Rabbi, I hope you had a nice holiday! Ruth was certainly one of the most famous converts in Jewish history. She said, “Your people are my people.” But why did my Temple read the Book of Ruth a few days ago on Shavuot? What’s the connection? Thanks so much!

Question
Dear Rabbi, Supposedly, Shabbat is the most important holiday, more important than any Yom Tov. If that is the case, when Shabbat and Yom Tov coincide, why do we recite the liturgy of the Yom Tov Amidah with Shabbat additions and not the other way around? Why does the Torah reading for Yom Tov preempt the one that is read on a regular Shabbat?
