Question
I was adopted by non-Jews in the 1960’s and am about to research my history. The records are sealed, and opening them is a process. My question is this, as the only things my adoptive parents were told is that my father was an athlete, and my mother was Jewish, if I find out that she was and can validate this information, does this mean I am still Jewish or is it a moot point now since I was adopted by non-Jews? Thank you for your time.

Question
Hey, I was just wondering what the limits are for what is halachically permissible for homosexual women. Can they live with each other? Raise children together? Touch without having full intercourse? What are the more lenient and stricter opinions for what women can do with each other physically and in terms of having relationships that can resemble marriage in some ways? Or are female homosexuals actually supposed to stay alone or find a man in a similar situation, and is either choice required? These are the questions that have been on my mind recently, but I’d really appreciate any information I might be missing or guidance for where I can find out more, since I’m uncomfortable asking people in person am having a hard time figuring out what the upshot of the sources on the topic are. Thanks.

Question
I have always thought a first born is supposed to get a greater inheritance. Unfortunately my son who is my first born has done some things that are so bad and unforgivable and he will never change his ways and I wish to cut him out of my will. Besides him, I have two wonderful daughters. I wish to split everything between them 50-50. Is this okay?
