Question
Dear Rabbi, Will God save us from climate change? Did He punish us with climate change? Is it a natural event or is it a test? Thanks for your thoughts.

Question
According to Halacha, is it prohibited to learn Aleph Beit during aveilut (or Tisha b’av which has mourning prohibitions)? Or no, is it not considered Talmud Torah and therefor permitted?

Question
According to Halacha, if you make besamim at Havdalah on plants from a budding fruit tree in Nissan, which blessing comes first, Birkat Ha’ilonot, or besamim? Does the principle of Tadir play a role here, and besamim is more common than Birkat Ha’ilonot so it’s recited first?

Question
When it comes to besamim at havdalah a) can it be recited over besamim which are still on the plants themselves on the ground b) can they be “pagum” like wine when used, if so can they be un pagumed like you can add wine to a kiddush cup
