I am a financial planner and I am in the business of helping people protect their family and future from a financial standpoint. How can I help more people and who do you think I should help?

Please could you define the conditions for a fruit to be "Ha atz" or "Ha adama"? Yes, I am sephardi. Many thanks, Saul Einy.

Rabbi Lauffer,Thank you for answering my question. I have found inconsistancies in the book of Jubilee's. G-d inspired scripture will have none.

Why does the Shemot Torah reading end at Exodus 6:1 and Vaera begin at Exodus 6:2? It would seem logical that Vaera would begin with 6:1. Thanks for your prompt response.
