Question
I seem to have lost my email capabilities and i can't figure out why. To compound matters I have been informed by the powers that be that I will not be in Jerusalem for Sunday and Monday. Don't ask as I prefer not to think about it. Unless anything super urgent crops up I'll be back in commission on Tuesday (bli neder, peh peh peh, etc.). I will have my mobile phone with me if you need to be in contact but I am leaving the rest of my dazzling array of technological wonders (actually a packet of AA batteries) at home. Sorry.

Question
Hello, I am a 14 year old boy, with struggling questions. If you can answer them, I will be very glad. 1) If we have done sins or broke commandments, for a very long time, will god forgive us? 2) How does god forgive us? 3) If you told god that you will stop sinning many times, and you haven't will he still forgive you? 4) Is masturbation or sex a sin?

Question
I was married in a reformed Temple. I later divorced my husband. He is Jewish and I am protestant. We had a son together. We always celebrated both Holidays (Jewish and Protestant) Now that we have divorced; he insists that our son is 100% Jewish and he is pushing my son for a Bar Mitzvah. My son was not circumcized by a moyel (because he was not born of a jewish mother). He had a ceremony with the Rabbi from Temple and a doctor did the circumcision. Can my ex-husband have a Bar Mitzvah without consulting me. My son does not want to do it and his Grandparents and his father has told him that he will receive money and gifts if he does it. How can reason with him? I know that by Jewish Law my son is not Jewish, but his father insists that he is.
