Question
Why is there a custom to blow the Shofar every morning during the month leading up to Rosh Hashana?

Question
Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question. If a 2 year-old niece wants to watch “Peppa Pig” on TV, is one allowed to put it on for her during the three weeks before Tisha b’Av, even though one will thereby hear the show’s music when he puts it on? Thanks a lot.

Question
Dear Rabbi, I recently took a college class to better understand my Jewish heritage. Now my question for you is this: Why is the “mitzvah system” of the 613 commandments considered so important? The concept of a “mitzvah system” seems to have a very special place in Judaism. Why, Rabbi? Thanks!

Question
Is there any special mitzvah to be fulfilled on Shavuot like there are on other Jewish Festivals, such as eating matzah on Passover?

Question
Hi Rabbi, I’m Jewish but never had any formal Jewish education. I want to start studying but also need to work, so I’m wondering if Torah study is meant for someone like me or only for fulltime scholars. Thanks!
