Must a widow cover her hair? | Ask the Rabbi Live with Rabbi Chaim Mintz
She should. A young widow seeking to remarry may sometimes be exempt. For an older widow it's proper to cover her hair and she will be rewarded for it, but if she doesn't it's not the worst thing in the world.

Much of what we consider inappropriate is based on societal norms, not on reality. Tell him that some things truly are beyond our comprehension, or if we delve into it properly we will realize the true and deep meaning.

Although an eagle can be vicious and that's why the symbol of Amalek is the eagle, it can also be a good symbol, as G-d will redeem the Jews on the wings of eagles.

Was the storm at the welcoming a sign from G-d? | Ask the Rabbi Live with Rabbi Chaim Mintz
Переглядів 1762 місяці тому
It's hard to know what the message was, but G-d was certainly not upset at such a wonderful gathering. Perhaps G-d was "showering" us with His blessings. Maybe G-d was testing the attendees to see if they would be turned away by the storm, and be excited despite the inconvenience.
