We have an apartment in Tel Aviv which we are going to let a family from Sderot stay in while the war is on. They do not keep kosher and I wonder if once they have used my dishes and pots etc., if I can use them afterwards if they are toiveled?

We have become vegetarians (who eat cheese, eggs, fish) and would like to use our fleishig dishes, pots, and pans with milchig recipes. We have incomplete sets of both fleishig and milchig dishes and cookware, so we thought it would be much more economical to combine both sets. We know that we can can boil the silverware, but what about dishes, pots, and pans?

If I move into an apartment that does not have a gas stove how can I prepare fresh kosher liver so that it stays kosher? I have always prepared it in a flame broiler. Thank you. Shabbat Shalom.

Do you have any advice for survival as being the only Jew in town? I am trying to do Hanukkah without being an outcast among my neighbors.

I received a Pyrex dish that was most likely used for non kosher food. Is it possible to kosher this baking dish? If rekoshering is possible, is the process same as regular glass?

Hi Rabbi Is Halachically allowed to study medical studies [not religious related] with an atheist friend? It might be Pikuach-Nefesh, and it's something that I can't study with anyone else. Thanks so much!

Hello Rabbi, I recently came to the realization that if an animal is slaughtered and the chalaf is found to have notches in it, thus rendering the animal not kosher, then the animal, naturally, may not be consumed. The animal at this point has already been killed. It has suffered, because the chalaf had a notch in it. Its death likely involved some form of pain, even if slight and lasting only for an instant. This animal's death was a tragedy, but it has occurred in the manner in which it has occurred. Why waste it? Why do we waste the life of this animal, who died painfully because of a mistake made by the slaughter or a defect in the tool used for the slaughter? What are we to do with the meat of this animal, and how are we to honor it, after what has been done to it? I cannot understand how G-d would want us to throw out the animal after it has suffered, as that would make its death meaningless.
