Question
I have a question regarding objects containing th Name of G-d on it? I have a keychain attached to my keys with the hand of G-d shape and on the back of it is the Traveling Prayer. It has one of the names of G-d. I asked my friend to throw my keys out the window to me forgetting the keychain was there and it hit the floor. I kissed it and did tshuvah, but am unsure of the proper ways of remedying this situation. What else can I do? Thank you!

Question
I have so many questions I don't know where to begin. I am 20 years old, I am Gay and gentile. I have always known something was wrong, I've been brought up in a christian surroundings but never feelt I belong. At the age of 15 I came in contact with judaism trough our schoolbooks. It wasen't "love at first sight" but it somehow intregued me and since then It's been on my mind constantly. And in these 5 years that have gone by I've read books and gone through many sites. And it just feels so right! Maybe it's stupid, but when I read about Judaism it feels like coming home, like I've found what I've always been looking for. Now, is it possible for me to convert? Will and orthodox rabbi accept me? I would also like to move to Israel, will Israel accept me as a Jew? I would love to have a family! Lots of children who I want to raise Jewish, but I'm not so sure I want a wife. When I go to sleep at night I want to be held by a man. I should probably mention that I don't practise gay sex (sodomi). However, if a wife is required for me to be accepted by a bet din then I shall do it. But then, what kind of a marrige is it if there is not love? What does the Torah say about tattoos and piercings? I have one tattoo and 2 piercings. I live in a small city in Finland. Since I've become more aware about kosher and the importance of kosher eating I would and I am trying my best to follow the kosher law. How strict are the rules? It is not possible for me to get any kosher prepared meat or any other food. Now I don't eat animals that are not kosher, I don't mix milk and meat. That's how far I've come.. But It feels like it's not enough! But what can I do? When I eat the food my mother or my grandmother has cooked they only have one set of everything, so even if they don't mix milk and meat for example they only have one set of plates and tableware.. So is the food then kosher? And it's not only at home, it's everywhere I eat. Are all my efforts in vain? That's jus a fraction of all the questions I have but enough to keep you busy for a while? I hope you won't have so much problem with understanding my english since there may be a spelling mistake or two. I would also like to think you for taking time from your valuable time to answer my questions! All The Best from Finland Alexandre

Question
Hi, I was asked to prepare a text study about the topic of LEADERSHIP, could you please direct me to our biblical sources ( could be Midrash) which deal with this topic, where we can draw qualities, characteristics of strong leaders, what are their traits, and what could we apply to ourselves as principals of a Jewish scholl , in order to become leaders. Since it is a text study and not a D'var Torah, I'd also like questions to ask the participants in order to create cooperative learning style. I need this information ASAP, your response is greately appreciated! Todah Rabah, Sabina
