Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
You say that the eruv we have today is invalid. I also asked, and found out that for Sefardim it is not good either. Soo, I want to ask- since their is no eruv is their anything we can carry on Shabb-t? I asked my Rabbi about keys and he said to tie it on the tie (if I understood correctly, I will ask him again).
  Also for example what should mothers do with the carriages on Shabb-t? Would that mean that now women basically cant leave the house with the kids on Shabb-t? (if the kid cant walk and needs a stroller).

You think we should get rid of the galus mentality.
Do you think we should build the temple now?  If not, why not?
Any halachic objections?

If you say "we're not ready spiritually". Then surely with that philosophy, like the korban pesach,  wouldn't you say "how can we be not ready to fulfill the torah properly.. we should try and do the best we can, get rid of the galuth mentality, the way things are going, charedi majourity, we'll still not be ready in future, and we'll never be ready. We need courageous scholars who will take these big steps that others are afraid to make". So, build the temple!

Greetings Judea. Here are my questions.

1. In the world to come, will people lose their free will, or will they retain it but be unable to sin?

2. Will the distinction between Jewish people and non-Jews still be there in the next world, or will we all just be humans serving God in different ways?

3. Do the Scriptures give any hint as to what religion people may have followed the true God with before Abraham? There are people mentioned in the Scripture prior to this but as far as I know their religion is not named.

4. Do you think that Job was a real person or do you think his story is a symbolic one about trusting God?

5. What time period do you think that Job's story took place in, pre-Flood or post-Flood?

Thank you very much for doing this show. I enjoyed every minute of the last one.

Dear Judea,

What do you think about the practice I have seen in some Israeli shuls to "auction" aliyahs on Shabboth?   Isn't this a business transaction and why wouldn't it be forbidden on Shabboth?   I have heard someone say that because it is for the purpose of fulfilling a mitzvah and giving cavod to the shul (and Torah), it is permitted.  I never heard of this idea before.  What would Rav Bar Hayim rule on this matter, or what do you think?

Kahane-Was-Right BT:
Is it a "mitzvah" per se to daven with a minyan?   Or just a highly encouraged suggestion, and it happens to be much better tefillah than one praying by himself (or both).    And if the way to fulfill davening with a minyan is to listen to the shliach tzibur repeat the shemoneh Esray and to respond amen, then in what way do people daven with a minyan for maariv when there is no repitition of shemoneh esray?    That would suggest that no one actually is davening with a minyan at maariv, ever.   If so, why not daven alone at home at night?
