Question
I am learning history, and it seems that historians believe that the first people came to American via the Bering Strait about 11,000 years ago. We can't deny that they came, and we can't deny that they were there. It's not even as far fetched as the historians who say that the world was created billions of years ago. But what do we do with this information wen we don't believe that the world is 11,000 years old? How do we reconcile this "history" with our ideology?

Question
I read this in a book, "Learned Jews have given us the several forms of prayer which Adam addressed to God for pardon." What does this mean? Does the Talmud give "forms of prayer" to pray, first prayed by Adam?

Question
Today I saw a sticker on a lamppost that said “Free Palestine.” I was tempted to remove it. To do so would be legal. The law where I live is that anyone is allowed to remove anything someone else puts on a public lamppost, whether it be advertising or something political. Then I was thinking of all the “kidnapped” signs for the hostages that all the anti-Israel people ripped down out of hate. I also thought of the saying from Hillel that the Torah can be summarized by in one line by saying not to do to another what you would not want someone to do to you. As awful as it sounds to me, the “Free Palestine” slogan is someone exercising their freedom of speech. And I would not want someone ripping off my sign that I pinned up, especially one in support of Israel. What is the proper thing to do?
