Dear Rabbi, In light of the Passover holiday coming, I am curious about something. On Passover, one of the foods that we eat is Matzo. On the side of the package that the Matzo comes in are the nutrition facts. When G-d "made" Matzo for the Jews (including Moses) the Matzo had to have had much more nutrition in it than it does today in order of them to survive. Especially since they traveled for 40 years. I guess my question is, am I correct in the assumption that the Matzo then, during those 40 years, is much different than it is now (today) nutritionwise? Thanks! -Jonathan

This is a follow up. Rabbi Lauffer said only Paro's daughter survived the 10th plague. However, I always learnt that only Paro (a firstborn) survived and secondly in Bo chapter 12 pasuk 29 it seems to say that Paro's son died- '...HASHEM SMOTE EVERY FISTBORN IN EGYPT, FROM THE FIRSTBORN OF PARO SITTING ON HIS THRONE...' Could you please explain.

Where in the law of Moses does it prescribe that each day shall begin with the setting of the sun? I am sure that it is there somewhere. There are many places where the sinner is told to wash with water and be unclean until evening (i.e. the next day).

I have been perplexed...if no world has lasted for more then 6000 years? then we have approx. 334 years left. Please explain this. Is it this world that is going to end or this existence that will end?

Dear Rabbi, I am 16 and live in London. Although I am reform, it is purely because that is what my parents are, and as grow older, I am becoming more religious (although no more observant to be honest). When I pray to God, to atone a sin, or to thank him for something, I do it in English. I find that, for a general prayer, this English is fine, but if I am thanking him for something big, or repenting for something big, I would like to be abled to do it in hebrew. I would appreciate it if you could point me towards any specific bracha relating to these two fields, that arent too long, and could be recited with ease (as my knowledge of hebrew isnt very strong!). Thank you, Nick
