Belief

I’ve asked this before but I’ll ask again because it’s more contextually relevant, I asked how to convince non Orthodox Jews of orthodoxy and you said to show them, but in a context where you can’t or they won’t engage then what arguments can one put out that orthodoxy is the only authentic tradition (for example I know a pro abortion reconstructionist woman who says the past has a vote not a veto, or reform Jews, or conservative Jews who say they’re halachic and that gay marriage is kosher because some conservative rabbis interpret the Torah that way etc)

Dear Rabbi, I am Jewish through my mother, but I've grown up mostly secular (I had a bat mitzvah and celebrate Shabbat most weeks) and identify as agnostic. I want to become "more Jewish" but I don't know if I can ever believe in God as outlined in the Torah. Can I ever be truly Jewish in a religious, not ethnic, sense? How can I learn to believe in God? Thank you

I'm a teenager and I'm thinking about converting next year when I go to college; I read parts of the Torah and I truly believe it, however I was wondering how modern scientific concepts fit into Judaism. Do science and the Torah work together, is science incorrect, are some parts of the Torah outdated and need to be updated in the modern world (I think not)? These are my main questions, and if I could get clarification on these topics it would mean the world to me. I'm not trying to question anything in a disrespectful way (though I've heard that in Judaism it's more acceptable to question, unlike Christianity how I grew up where you follow blindly) This is what I'm wondering: Why are there other planets? How do you explain modern evolution theories? Are they incorrect or can they fit with the scriptures? If it's the year 5785, how is the Earth so old? Thank you so much!!

Muslims have found what seems to be contraadictions in the Torah. What do we say about that?

Is it ok to sell the house where person died in 6 month or wait for 12 month

Moses was punished that he could not enter the promised land, because he hit the rock, not spoke to it. I think the punishment was too severe. He anyway obeyed HaShem. He only missed trivial detail. What did the Jewish sages say about the matter? Why was Moses punished so harshly?

Dear Rabbi, is it ok for Orthodox Jews to visit a Hindu temple?

I’m a teenage girl who has been thinking about converting to Judaism for years, but I don’t know where to start. My family is Christian (kind of), and I’m not sure how they’d react, so I don’t think I can convert until I’m out of the house in a few years, as well as I can't contact local synagogues or rabbis since I live in a relatively small town and my parents would find out. What should I do? I’ve been trying to learn Hebrew and have been reading articles and watching videos, but I’d love some ideas on what steps I can take now or any resources you'd recommend. I can't have any physical books lying around the house or anything like that. I just feel very lost right now and I'm not sure what to do. Lately I've felt like my life has lacked something, and when studying Judaism it feels like it fills that part of my life that I'm missing, but I will likely have to wait years before making any major changes in my life. I just need something that I can do with my time now so I'm ready when I'm able to. Thank you!
