Question
I have been religious my whole life.During the last few years I have thought about Judaism objectively as possible not just accepting things because I was brought up that way and there seems to me to be a lot of missing pieces that raise for me serious questions. However these questions or areas are not addressed.They are specifically not addressed in the traditional yeshiva system and I dont understand why teachers and Rabbayim and leaders do not address things in an honest way but sort of gloss over things and make many assumptiion that might not be true.I know I am being vague but I hope you understand what I am sayiing.These loopholes in the system suggested to me that Rabbis and leaders many times have agenda when trying to doscover what Hashem wants from us.

Question
I have just had surgery and I must wear a urine collection bag on my leg for some days. What am I permitted to do at this time at home and elsewhere? Thank you very much.

Question
i heard that all results are up to Hashem, and we just need to keep working and praying all the time. if that is the case, i feel silly making decisions. i thought that i make decisions according to logic and knowledge and understanding, but apparently decisions have no connection with results! maybe a person should not do research, or try new solutions to problems. rather, just do davening, learning, keeping halacha. maybe that would be the total hishtadlut -- and there's no reason to work directly on anything.

Question
I am actually a bit embarassed to even ask this question.......maybe that's why I am choosing to ask this question online and annomously rather than asking the question to a Rabbi in person. That being said....I am a Baal Tshuvah for two years now and let's just say that I made a mistake with someone who is not Jewish (or at least I think he's not Jewish). It was a 1 time thing and was a complete mistake! I feel that now, as I'm involved with shidduchim, I feel that I potentially runined the chance of ever marrying a Kohen, just because I'm assuming that this person is not Jewish. Are there ways for a person to have someone 'investiagted' to see if they are Jewish? Are there any ways of going around this? Please Help!
