Does Machon Shilo have a yeshiva program for baalei teshuvah and/or american baalei teshuvah, or is it meant primarily for the "frum from birth" and native born more learned/experienced Jews? And do they conduct classes there in English all the time - is the place specifically designed for Anglo Jews? Or does Rav Bar Chaim also do shiurim in Hebrew aside from the English shiurim posted online?
Kahane-Was-Right BT:
Hello Judea,
I met a guy who spent some time in yeshiva in Israel and he told me that haredim there are claiming that the police beat them up and massacre them. I think he said this about people he met in meah Sharim. Is this just propaganda or do you believe this? Why is there no video footage or evidence or reporting these kind of incidents if they are happening? Is it just their way of trying to justify their fighting the "state" to the American newbie or do you think these guys he met were being truthful?

Shalom, do you know by any chance when the Spanish Jews began to gather in Morocco?
P.S. sorry my question is off topic. Shalom and thank you - Dox

Hey Dox,
No questions are off topic in this thread. I liked your question too.
Judea: Is it wrong to wear shorts in a beit midrash? What about to daven with a minyan at shul wearing shorts? (Or to daven in a beit midrash w/ minyan wearing shorts) ? If this is a halachic issue at all, does it change depending on whether in Eretz Yisrael - where it is very hot? Did the Jews in second Temple times where tunics? Aren't pants a recent modern invention?
Kahane-Was-Right BT:
Dear Judea,
You mentioned in another show how to appropriately connect geula with tefillah in regards to the nighttime shema/ maariv davening. I wasn't exactly clear on the explanation. Do you refrain from saying shema at shul while everyone else is saying it? Or you just omit the "hashkevaynu" and if so do you have kavannah that the shema you are saying in shul is not to fulfill the twice daily commandment, but when you recite it later at home with hashkevaynu afterward, then you do have in mind that its the fulfilling of the mitzvah? Please explain this step by step. Thanks.
