Question
Hello. As I understand, the Israelites on Mount Sinai only heard the commandments but didn't see Hashems finger of fire inscribe the tablets. Why is this? And why did Moses write the second tablets instead of God rewriting it?

Question
Though women are exempt from davening Mincha and Maariv, my wife likes to anyway. Do women who daven Mincha and Maariv deserve the same respect as men who do? (e.g. not being interrupted, being given the opportunity to pray at the proper time)

Question
In Genesis, when Joseph has the dream about the sheafs of wheat bowing to him; and Jacob asks him “Will your mother and I bow down to you?” Is the mother Jacob refers to Rachel or Leah? If my understanding is correct, Rachel has been dead for several years when this happened. Did Leah become Joseph and Benjamin’s mother when Rachel died?
