Dear Rabbi Reuven Lauffer, In my previous letter I want to know the Hebrew Translation of 'THE LIGHT OF HUMAN BEING' And 'CLEVER AMONG BROTHERS' I thing I coulsnot express myself. So now please inform it. By the way I Icame to know the meaning of Anosh, Nahoor, Nohshon, Akhim from asktherabbi.org in november. Thank you Shamim

Dear Rabbi Moshe Newman, It's a long time since I called you. I completed TORAH (Bangla Version, The only available copy). So now I have some questions. First of all Why don't you preach your religion? Look what Cristians do. I think that you will be more successful than them. I convinced after reading TORAH. I will ask more question in my next letters. Thank you Shamim

what does the word yaavetz mean, as in Mishnat Yaavetz?

Dear Rabbi, I work in a Chassidish establishment that has a number of public bathrooms. I am concerned regarding some issues related to personal hygiene. My main concern is that there is no handwashing (with soap) taking place inside or outside of the bathroom. As a matter of fact, there is not even a sink in the bathroom with which to wash ones hands, only one OUTSIDE of the bathroom. Now when the folks come out, they wash their hands with a washing cup but no soap. They then move about the facility and continue to spread germs all over the place. Can you please explain to me how a group of people who is so makpid in every area of life can be so lackadaisical in this very important area of personal hygiene? Thank you, Concerned.
