I am an Ultra Orthodox girl and I have some questions. Please help me! 1) May I wax my eyebrows in the sfira days? I am 18 and on the shidduch scene so i think it is important to look my best. Is it allowed? 2) I really enjoy listening to music. Is it just a minhag not to listen to music in the sfira or are you really not allowed? 3) I was taught in school that at work we should always be on a last name basis with a person from the opposite gender. I work in a very small (two men and one other lady) office. I call the men by their last names, although they call me by me and my co-worker by our first names. It would be very uncomfortable for me to ask him to call me by my last name, especially because im working there for a while already. What do you think i should do? I really appreciate it. Thank you!!!

why did hashem make all the kosher animals have fins, scales, split hooves and chew cud? why couldnt he make like the ones with tails are kosher ir the ones with pointy ears? why did he choose the characteristics that he choose?

Dear Rabbi, I recently saw an Orthodox mohel do a bris on a boy where the mother was a Reform convert. I was surprised because I thought that Orthodox rabbis didn't accept Reform conversions, and therefore the baby wouldn't be considered Jewish. What am I missing? I've found out since that this actually isn't that unusual. Is the Orthodox opinion of these conversions changing or is there something about a bris that makes it possible to be lenient? I'm confused--help!

why did hashem make the characteristics of kosher animals split hooves, chew cud, scales and fins? why not like pointy ears or a short tail? also do we keep kosher more for a health reason or because hashem commanded us to?

why cant a woman have her wedding during her period?
