In regard to the story told in the Book of Ruth, Naomi was accompanied by her two daughters in law, Orpah and Ruth, back to Israel. Orpah returned to her father in Moab leaving Ruth to travel back with naomi. After their return, would Boaz have ever been interested in Ruth had she not been beautiful?

Analyse this fragment of the talmud: It was stated in the text: The blank spaces and the Books of the Minim, we may not save them from a fire. R. Jose said: On weekdays one must cut out the Divine Names which they contain, hide them, 17 and burn the rest. R. Tarfon said: May I bury my son if I would not burn them together with their Divine Names if they came to my hand. For even if one pursued me18 to slay me, or a snake pursued me to bite me, I would enter a heathen Temple [for refuge], but not the houses of these [people], for the latter know (of God] yet deny [Him], whereas the former are ignorant and deny [Him], and of them the Writ saith, and behind the doors and the posts hast thou set up thy memorial. 19 R. Ishmael said: [One can reason] a minori: If in order to make peace between man and wife the Torah decreed, Let my Name, written in sanctity, be blotted out in water, 20 these, who stir up jealousy, enmity, and wrath between Israel and their Father in Heaven, how much more so;21 and of them David said, Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? And am I not grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate then with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies .22 And just as we may not rescue them from a fire, so may we not rescue them from a collapse [of debris] or from water or from anything that may destroy them. In this last part David is talking about the pagan nations who fight agains Israel, how could the Rabbies of those days say such thing, when we know that the deepest teaching of Yeshua was contained in this 2 estatements: Shema Yisrael and Thou shall love The Lord with all thy Heart, all thy sould and with all thy might. Thanks Yom Tov.

I just bought a pair of tzitzit. I usually buy the V-neck ones, but yesterday I mistakenly walked out with a round neck. Can I do the surgery myself, and cut the front of the beged to form a V-neck? And how deep a cut would be too deep?Thanks, Rabbi.....

If the Jews said Naaseh Vinishmah, who did they say it to? The midrash (where is it by the way) states, that god asked the other nations if they wanted to accept thge torah, and the nation of esav said: 'what, you cant kill, its not for us' I was taught that god could not communicate with a human at any time, so how did god ask those nations if they wanted to get the torah????????
