Question
Thank you in advance for this resource and your time and knowledge. My questions are simple and I look forward to their answers. Can you provide a source solely from the Tanach for the following claims: 1) That Gd gave Moses two torahs -- the second one being the oral Torah; and, 2) That the Tanach gives Rabbis authority to interpret the Torah and rule over its meaning. These are very basic questions. However, no one has been able to correctly answer either one. Can you?   Many thanks. -Marci

Question
Shalom. I’m looking for the answers and the truth. As a child I made a covenant with Almighty. My grandpa also gave me title of a prince with right to the throne before he died. I might have Jewish blood. I have very important mission in the world, yet people mostly ignored and abandoned me. Almighty promised me my life will change and people will start believing me before I reach age of 33 which is November this year. I want to speak to a Rabbi and get some answers. I wasn’t raised in Jewish religion, but in Christianity. Yet I’ve found it false. The only proof of my words is my grandpa’s seal I’m attaching to this message. I hope to reach out to someone soon. I’m trying various websites and also visited synagogue on Friday. I need to know certain things before I can proceed and prosper in life.

Question
Dear Rabbi, I’ve always known that if both your parents are alive, you are supposed to leave the synagogue during Yizkor. My situation is that my parents are both alive and healthy, but I had a brother who died many years ago. I would like to recite Yizkor for him. Can I remain in the synagogue and do that?

Question
Learning Midrash Tanchumah , in Parshat Yitro , I found a reference regarding 3 types of gerim (converts ) that is explained in Midrash Naso, I assume it means Midrash Raba Parashat Naso , but I could not find it. Could you help me by telling me where exactly in Midrash Raba Naso is that explanation about gerim ? Or send me an image of that page ? Toda rabah , Shabat Shalom ve Chag Sameach ! Shlomo

Question
If I am praying in a congregation that uses a siddur or machzor in which the prayers are worded somewhat differently than the ones I am accustomed to, or that has some additional prayers or omissions of some prayers that I normally do, or that does its prayers in a different order, should I follow the way I normally do my prayers or the way this congregation does it?
