I am working on a project where we are reproducing the Great Isaiah Scroll. The reproduction is intended to be a replica or at least resemble the scroll written about 125 B.C. Question: Were scroll handles known to be in use circa 125 B.C.? I believe using scroll handles on the replicas will increase the possible sales in order to raise money for Israel. Although, I do realize that when the Great Isaiah Scroll was found it did not have handles but was stored for longevity. Please give me your best opinion. Thank you, Gary

If Matza cannot be in contact with water for more than 18 minutes to be Kosher for Passover, how can Matza Ball soup be ok? We mix it with water than it sits for a while in the refrigerator than boil it for 15 minutes and then put it in bowls, etc. Certainly it violates the 18 minute rule. Can you explain? Jeff

As a Sephardi Kohanim or Cohen however it is pronounced, I have football trials coming up would it be okay for me to see a faith-healer, meditate and use psycic powers, to hopefully help play better and relax me before my trials.

We are obviously not Jewish (or we would already know the answer to this). We want to have a Passover Seder on a Friday night. When Passover falls on Friday night, do we still lite the traditional Shabbat Candles? If so is this where we start? (We will have some Jewish people with us, but we are hosting and we don't want to offend them.) Thank you very much-
