Question
Dear Rabbi, What is Judaism’s attitude towards how converts to Judaism should be treated? Someone I spoke to said that he thinks they are to be treated like second-class citizens compared to native-born Jews. Is he wrong? Thank you

Question
Do the bad people can cause good things in good peoples lives without intentioning it? If a bad person (bad in every aspect and a non-jew) can cause growing and healing in our lives, even they cause us to be good jews and motivates us (without intention) should we forget about them and turn to our depression? Or this is just our lust and illiusion?

Question
I sometimes see two neighbors getting into a heated argument over some trivial matter. What is the right thing to do to calm them down and restore good relations?

Question
I saw the question someone asked about conjoined twins. Indeed, conjoined twins can and do survive to adulthood. One famous pair I’m aware of appear as a two-headed woman who is alive now, 34 years old, and is married. Scientifically, she has the status of two conjoined twins with two separate minds that think independently and with two separate consciousnesses and personalities, while at the same time sharing some lower organs. She is married, but her husband considers himself married to just one of the twins. This woman is not Jewish. Suppose a Jewish two-headed person like this existed. What would be the implications in Jewish law? Would this person be allowed to marry?

Question
Who is Meshiach ben Yoseph, and where can I find more information about him?

Question
I have a question about doctors. My friend went to one, saying he had pain from a sprain and was told to take Tylenol. He really wanted a prescription for something much stronger and feels the doctor is not fair and doesn’t care enough. He said that Judaism teaches, “The best of doctors deserve severe punishment in the Afterlife.” Huh???

Question
Hi, from where in the Torah or oral Torah we find that we have to live with the time? And slavery is no longer allowed regardless if it is a Jewish slave or not. Thanks, Jonathan.

Question
There is a middle aged woman in the community I can’t stand. I wish I could have nothing to do with her, but she always turns up at social gatherings where I am and bothers me. At least once a month it seems, she ends up at a Shabbos meal where I am invited. She knows many of the same people I do. How can I avoid her and get her out of my way without speaking lashan hara about her?

Question
I saw you wrote in an earlier answer that it is best to distance yourself from wicked people. But isn’t it a good idea to approach wicked people in order to try to convince them to mend their ways?
