Question
My father is not Jewish. He believes in afterlife, creation, and existence of God. But he doesn't believe the control of God of this world. He thinks that God doesn't intervene this worldly matter. And I know that this is very similar to the philosophy of Amalek. Even though he has no single intention to destroy the Jewish People, his worldview is similar to that of Amalek. I also know that we have obligation to destroy Amalek. Do I have to consider my father to be an enemy of Hashem?

Question
A relative was a farmer. I'm a city boy and never really got what he did except for enjoying the great food that he produced! I was wondering what significance Judaism places on agriculture - besides the food. By the way, my relative lived simply by my standards, but was certainly very happy and righteous. Thank you.

Question
Why doesn’t God perform “open miracles” for us today the way He did in the days of Moses? I’ve heard that He indirectly performs miracles (saving us from the destruction of our nation in the Spanish inquisition and the Holocaust, the establishment of the State of Israel, the Six-Day War...) but if He really wants us to follow His commandments why doesn’t He simply come and tell us that He’s still around?

Dear Rabbi, when was the first rain? Did rain begin falling only during Noah's time? Was the mist mentioned in Gen. 2:6 “And a mist ascended from the earth and watered the entire surface of the ground” (Gen. 2:6) the only watering agent until the flood in Noah's days? Thanks.

Dear Respected Rabbi, Shalom! What do the commentaries state as to the first occurrence of rain? Did it begin only during Noah's floods time? Were the mists - Gen 2:6 - the sole watering agents till the Noah's floods? Thanks for your patient guidance for many years.  

Question
G*d says in the Tanach that He is the one and only, but is the word one enach in the Hebrew? And does the word enach mean many and which are in harmony in each other and which have same mind and thoughts? Can one say `He` of many gods if they are `enach` and if not or if yes then why? Why G*d says "us" of Himself at least in the Genesis?
