Hi judeanoncapta,

my knowledge about Judaism/Torah is pretty limited so I hope you dont mind asking very basic questions.

Considering Abraham as the father of Judaism what is it that makes Noah a gentile?
How is Adam being considered in that regard?

Thanks for your time,

Hey Judea,
Do you know how well known Rabbi Joseph Mizrachi is in Israel. If you could ask whoever might know (yeshiva teacher or rabbis in general)

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Hi again,
  I read an article on your Rabbi's website Machonshilo , written by a student of your Rav. It talked about solving world problems by spreading the laws of Noah to the nations. I was wondering if you are familiar with the article and with the person who has written it, and if yes would you know how it should be implemented, or how they intend to spread the 7 laws of Noah to the nations?
 Also would you think it would be affective, particularly with the Arabs, or would their violent nature and pride prevent them from seeing the truth?

what do you make of the opinion that rivka was 3 when she married yitzchak?
a calculation based on a midrash apparently.
But this contradicts the plain meaning of the events.
Do you think this is aggadic, and if so, what does it teach?
or do you think the number is wrong - that particular midrash was not transmitted properly, it's not reliable.

There is a similar thing with sarah. I don't remember the sources. But I recall one version saying regarding her 127 years.  As beautiful at 100 as at 20 and her skin as soft at 20 as at 7.
But there is another version of the text that has it a funny way around.  I guess that is an obvious one though, which one is certainly wrong.

q_q_:
There has been some discussion  that interested KahaneBT and myself, about your idea that the yerushalmi was superior to the bavli.. and even, binding in israel while the bavli was not?  Or that people in israel should let the yerushalmi overrule the bavli.

I don't know if I stated that correctly.

Here are some further thoughts 
The RAMBAM wrote nothing like that, did he? So I guess he would agree with the bavli's authority.

Here is a statement from a very clever Sefaradi fellow..prob a rambamist.
maybe you could explain it and comment because I don't know exatly what he means. He is arguing that the bavli is the ultimate authority. 

He said
"there is only one authoritative
halakha, that of Beth Dinam shel Rabhena veRabh Ashe, a reflection of
Babylonian jurisprudence (and the core of Palestinian). The PT was never
officially "nehtam" in Israel.  The archives of the Sanhedrin were moved to
Babel when Christianity became the official Roman faith, and babylon's beth din
haggadol became supreme.   "
