Shalom. I want to ask of your opinion about Thoth the Atlantean and also about the Emerald tablets. What is your opinion about that? And about what you think about giants, were all giants evil? We killed them accordingly from Torah tellings. And so, I was explained to from another Rabbi , that some of us humans do have some giant DNA in us. Kol tov, shabbat shalom, Chaim Jeshurun    

Question
In Halacha, Jews are forbidden from having animals do prohibited melachot on Shabbat. My question is, is there any issur of Lifnei iver with animals, or no, since animals don’t have the same free will humans do?

Question
Dear Rabbi, I was watching the funeral of a fallen Israeli soldier the other day at the military cemetery at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. It was sad and I’m sure mine were not the only dry eyes. While watching, I remember hearing a custom for anyone who visits a grave to place a small stone on the headstone. What is the reason for this practice? Thanks, Rabbi!
