Question
Shadchan (rabbitzen) asked me why do I want to get married. I told her that G-d commanded this in Torah to Adam. She asked me a very legitimate question: "Who heard that G-d commanded it to Adam or who witnessed it, if there was no people? Who can prove that G-d ever spoke with him about anything? How do we know that G-d ever spoke to Moses, besides 10 commandments that 3 million people heard it? I think this rabbitzen has a very legitimate questions. I don't know how it relates to shidduch, its more like philosophical venue disscussion, But apparently this is very important thing to find out for shidduch process. P.S. I don't think there any real answers on questions like that... Thank you. With respect. David

Question

Question
Shalom, Rabbi. We have obligation to pray. However, it is obvious that HaShem knows what we need and want before we pray. Then, why do we have to pray? Isn't it heresy to pray because it is an action of denying the fact that HaShem knows what we want before we pray? Isn't it denying omnisience of HaShem?

Question
1) question on genesis: i will just go verse by verse so you can see my thought process 1 - god begins creating the universe 2 - the earth is unformed, but there are waters??? (I can see this being poetic or symbolic) 3 - some form of light is made 4 - light is separated from darkness 5 - light is day, dark is night 6 - water is separated from water (waters from 1:2??) 7 - the sky (atmosphere is created) 8 - the expanse is called heaven 9 - dry land appears from waters ... we know that land came before water, so how could this be? 10 - dry land is called earth 11 - plants come to fruition ... we know that plants need the sun, so how did they grow?? 12 - more vegetation 13 - evening / morning stuff 14 - the sun / other stars are created 2) questions on ages: if the ancient hebrews (such as avraham) followed a solar calender, then how did they live so long? humans couldnt not have physically lived that long. this would naturally lead me to think they measured years differently, but the torah makes it seem like a solar calender is in place (genesis 1:14 for example)

Question
Rabbi, I hope this email finds you doing well! I first off want to thank y'all for hosting this service, being able to send these emails means a lot! In a post Jesus-movement world, the idea of a “trinitarian,” “Unitarian,” and even “bitarian” God seems to be a matter of debate between believers of Jesus and non-believers in Jesus. Stressing that HaShem is ONE makes a lot of sense- but a time BEFORE the introduction of the Christian faith, what did it mean for HaShem to stress his oneness? I understand HaShem wanting to clarify that He is the ONLY god to be worshipped, but why clarify that He *was ONE?* Thank you, Ryan

Question
can Jewish people believe Jesus rose from the dead, but not that he’s messiah? apologizes if that doesn’t make sense.
