judeanoncapta:
Thank you so much for your great questions last week.

I can't wait to hear your new ones.

Thank you for the reply and so happy to hear about your plans to settle in Judea! Mazel tov.  Baruch Hashem.  Regarding the mitvah to settle the land of Israel, you mentioned something that you know no living authority that doesn't hold this mitzvah universally applicable except _________ ... It sounds a lot like you were saying "megillat esther?"  I could not make out the words you were saying here (or name of a posek?).  What/who is the authority that is the one exception in the group who holds that it isn't a mitzvah (or isn't at all times) ?  What do they say and why?

Also, is it true that a rabbi in the Jerusalem Talmud rebukes the Babylonian Talmud Rabbis for not making aliyah?  I find this humorous.   Could you refer us to the passage and maybe cover this topic a little bit.  What exactly was the Bablyonian sages' explanation for why they did not come to Eretz Yisrael or did they readily acknowledge they had none but simply made this choice anyway? 
It does seem to me that a certain level of Torah scholarship (which klal Yisrael needed and has needed for guidance for generations ever after) was only possible from these incredible geniuses because of their wealthy/favored status in Bavel and ability to breathe Torah every waking moment.  It is this blessing that enabled them to craft the Babylonian Talmud, right? 

I also heard in the last show for the first time the concept of Moshiach ben Yosef vs Moshiach ben David.  I know very little Torah (obviously), but I was only aware of the idea of Moshiach in general, from the line of King David, and I'm wondering why there are two different names used in this manner.  Does this refer to two different people?

Thank you

Judea, during the early stages of Bar Kochba's revolt when Jewish independence was reestablished, Bar Kochba, with Rebbe Akiva's encouragment took much of the Roman organizational structure for government. Do you think when we reestablish a Torah state we will also take modern forms of government as well as the Malchut and Sanhedrin?

In a Kahanist government, what happens to people like Moshe Hirsch and the rest of the NK gang?

q_q_:
hi

How is it in judea?   

I hope that in israel they still keep the debits on the left and credits on the right!    right?

What does the name judeanoncapta mean? what words does it break up into? is it latin?
