Thank you all for you great questions last week. I can't wait to see the new ones.
Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Hi, thanks for the great answers (from previous shows).
Are their any Rabbis/ Talmidei Hachamim who know how to build the Temple correctly?
Also what would you say about entering the area where the Kohen Gadol went in, is it allowed for construction purposes?
Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
We know that their is a Mitzva to "guard ones soul" which is basically a Mitzva to live and not put oneself in needless danger and also to do what is necessary to live. My question is at which point should one be ready to and allowed to have oneself killed for the greater good, or to protect and save the lives of other Jews? (I'll give a few examples). For example lets say one is in the army and their is a situation where another (1)soldier's life is in danger are you allowed to sacrifice yourself knowing you will die and the other will live? - Or another situation- its either you or a group of soldiers, either you die and sacrifice yourself or they will die and you live. Also what if the other/others are NOT shomer Mitzvot particularly Shabb-t, is one allowed to sacrifice him/herself to save another or others who do not keep Mitzvot?
Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
We see in the Chumash that the first redemption was accompanied by miracles (10 plagues, sea splitting, etc.), we are also told that the first redemption is a prototype of the final redemption (hint to what will happen). Also I think that Hazal talk about the final redemption being accompanied by miracles even greater then the first redemption. So my question is how can we call the simple fact of Jews going up to Israel as being Geula (at least the full Geula) where we havn't seen the promises fullfilled yett. I understand it is an obligation, but how can we call it Geula (besides the literal translation).
q_q_:
what is the definition of lashon harah?
I is purely nad talk about others?
I know there are cases where it's allowed? or is it that it is simply not called lashon harah?
for example, warning somebody that a person purporting to be teaching judaism is not teaching judaism. Or a rabbi like shmuley boteach that is teaching that judaism is for gentiles.
What are the exceptions, when it's not lashon hara?
