Question
There is an online video game I have enjoyed playing over the past few years where participants build a fictional world. I am so good at it, I have become the top champion. Every week, they have a contest in which all those from the online community who play this game compete against each other. The winner doesn’t get any real life money, but gets a large sum of bonus pretend money they can use in the game. For several months now, I have won this contest every week, beating thousands of other participants from around the world. In being so dominant, I have angered other participants. I know because I read the chat the game has and they are all upset they never win because of me, who they know only by my screen name. Is it a problem in Jewish law that I am depriving others of fictional prize money by playing so well that I am not sharing with others a chance to win sometimes?

Question
Although I know the majority of Hebrew names are biblical/of Jewish origin, I'd like know if you take a non-Hebrew name and translate, can it be used as one? Provided the name is compatible with being translated, of course.

Question
I have a question about doctors. My friend went to one, saying he had pain from a sprain and was told to take Tylenol. He really wanted a prescription for something much stronger and feels the doctor is not fair and doesn’t care enough. He said that Judaism teaches, “The best of doctors deserve severe punishment in the Afterlife.” Huh???

Question
Dear Rabbi, I’ve been having a problem that’s been troubling me for the past year. An acquaintance of mine refused to get the COVID vaccine because of political disinformation he received. His family and friends begged him to get it, but he refused. Last year, he caught COVID and died. Had he gotten the vaccine, he probably would have survived or not even gotten it. He was only 44 years old and left behind a wife and children. He almost certainly got it from me. Several days before he got sick, he and I were at the same gathering. On that day, I was having a slightly runny nose. I did not want to miss the event, and I was in denial it was COVID, and I convinced myself and others it was allergies. My symptoms later worsened and I took a home test and it was positive. At least two people caught it from me, and he was one of them. From a Jewish moral standpoint, who is at fault for his death? Is it him, for failing to obtain a vaccine that would have prevented his death? Or is it me, who transmitted the disease to him. Does this make him a fool or me a murderer?

Question
I am a 78 year old man who has Jewish ancestry on my mothers side. I was raised a Christian. But have spent the last 5 years living ad a Noachide. Studying Torah etc. and some Hebrew. I am absolutely convinced that I should return to where I am supposed to be. Because of Covid, I have been following Shabbat online. Is this possible?
