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!
