We are thinking of moving to a new town that is much more orthodox that Woodbridge (Lakewood), and a major sticking point is our pets, namely our dog. Simply put, is she muktzeh. Some say not for us, only for others; some just say yes. Do I look for a new home for her, or us?

IS there any problem with having your bris performed by your father? If he isn't a mohel? What are the requirments for a bris to be kosher?

I have been studying the Pentateuch, specifically to try to create my own chart of the feasts and offerings using the NKJB. I have a question: while studying Leviticus 23:15-22 and Numbers 28:26-31, I noticed a discrepency between the numbers of the sacrifices. This leads me to think 1) it is a copiest error, or 2) these are two different sacrifices. My friend, a former pastor, believes that these "first fruits" offerings occur before and after the Sabbaths of the Passover/Unleavened Bread week. If this is true, it seems rather arbitrary as to what happens when. So, I wanted to ask an expert. Could you please clarify these passages for me?
