Question
Dear Rabbi, can you answer a question for me? Some friends and I were sitting around yesterday discussing something, and I mentioned that there are no vowels written down in the Torah. But I was at a loss to explain why not. So, how come there are no vowels written in the Torah? Thanks!

Question
Psalm 127:3 הִנֵּ֚ה נַֽחֲלַ֣ת יְהֹוָ֣ה בָּנִ֑ים Behold, the heritage of the Lord is sons The inscription on a baby card states: Psalm 127:3 הנה נחלת ה׳ בנים For children are a gift from G-d. Does Banim mean children and also specifically sons as is found in the Torah?

Question
I teach Torah to some women from different backgrounds. As we study questions come up as to how do the Rabbi's and sages know what happened during Adams time and Noah's time? The particularly question stories about the soul preexisting and for what reason HaShem created the world. Things that are not specifically in the Torah. Some women have come out of catholic backgrounds.

Question
Ex. 26:32-33 How was the veil is hung. I cannot seem to get a visual of how the veil was hung on 4 pillars. Have searched images and no 2 are alike, and so far none really answers my question. Was there a cross bar of some sort? Text says hang it 'on' or 'upon' the 4 pillars with hooks and loops. Was the veil all one curtain.... and if so, why were there 4 pillars? Perhaps a strange question, but I am writing story about the man who wove the veil, and he is asking Moses exactly what the LORD told him before he sketches out his design. Where on the veil do the hooks attach? Thank you so much, diana morgan
