There are those who wonder how we can ask God to return us in Teshuva (repentance). After all, Teshuva is our job, as it says, "everything is in the hands of Heaven aside from fear of Heaven". I heard once from our rabbi and teacher Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu of blessed memory, that every Teshuva contains an aspect of man and an aspect of the Blessed Creator, Who sends man an awakening to repentance.

I have heard tens of times from Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu that in our generation, God sends humans many signs of awakening. Because this is the era of "the Lord your God will open up your heart and the hearts of your offspring", and sometimes, we can see this tangibly. How many people have felt yearning for God deep in their hearts, but do not know how to actualize this awakening to Teshuva. The religious Jews that know a little more about the ways of the Creator need to guide their brothers, not to God forbid distance them or express scorn. Certainly they should not disgrace the name of God. And a person cannot imagine how important this is to the Holy One, Blessed be He. If people only knew how important this was - they would chase after their brothers to bring them closer to God and embrace them with love.

    Can I be mekadeish the levanah when there is just a slight cloud cover? Am I permitted to be mekadeish the levanah either before it gets fully dark or during the post-dawn, pre-sunrise morning hours? Did the Rif not write on this topic? Why not?

    How to Time Vatikin?

    When minyanim closed, I started davening vatikin (starting Shemoneh Esrei (=SE) at hanetz hachama (sunrise=netz)). If I do not know precisely when netz is, is it better to err on the side of starting SE before or after netz?

    Just as water has the ability to convert desolate and nonproductive desert land into a veritable Garden of Eden, so too can Torah fill the void in our hearts and souls and make us productive holy people.

    My husband brought me beautiful roses for Shavuos. Should I make a bracha before smelling them? I have noticed that sometimes there is no noticeable fragrance.

    Relationships during the Time of Engagement

    A young engaged man and his fiancée naturally have very strong feelings for each other. It goes without saying that these will be expressed after the wedding, but what expression, if any, is permitted in the meantime? And while we're on the subject, is the attraction of men and women to each other really a good thing to begin with?

    The Laws Relating to Converts

    The laws relating to Jewish converts are most astounding. Despite the criticism directed at the Jewish people on the grounds that Judaism is racist, the Torah teaches us that any non-Jew who earnestly seeks to join the Jewish people may do so.
