Torah Queries and responces - LAsttime - 04-25-2022
22 April 2022 Query to Ask A Rabbi Aish Torah:
Query about a pattern among galat Jewish communites....which are very old communities...{Jews from Yemen and Ethiopia settled there about the time of King Solomon..the Jews of Iraq about the time of the Prophet Erza] yet with little exceptions..a pattern develops...first the Jews are accused of being "different" in the Galat host country..soon they are accused of terrible crimes against non-jews...massacres and expulsations over the centuries....until a rement is left...Yet even when it becomes painfully oblivious that the only hope for survival is to go up to Israel...[some survivors have nothing but a Torah scroll and the clothes on their backs]..yet what is puzzeling is this...that even when the obvious fate of a galat community is destruction...there are those who refuse to go up to Israel...feeling that their residence and "services" to their galat country will save them...now the Torah message is to choose life...yet refusing to go up will not result in living....question is there an answear in the Torah about why those choose this course of action?
24 April 2002 receieved the following answear:
Dear
Thank you for your question. It is not clear from the Torah exactly why this has happened many times in our history but it is certainly well precedented all the way back to the days of the Babylonian exile when the majority of the Jewish People did not return when able. The bottom line is our history is replete with opportunities and missed opportunities and certainly the learning and fixing that is still necessary is that we must come home to our homeland when the opportunity presents itself.
With blessings from Jerusalem,

Interference with teaching the Torah:
Question:
One of the last things Moses instructed Israel is that they must teach their Children the Torah. In the centuries that followed not all Jewish Kings followed the example of Josiah..in fact they tried to suppress and persecute those who took on the Iron Yoke of The Torah..now the question is..if any Jewish Leader tries to stop Torah Teaching..how will they be held accountable by the L-d for their action of rebellion?

Hi
Thank You for Your question.
the question of the punishment for those who prevented Torah study is between them and G-D. Except in a situation where the responsibility is delegated to us by G-d, it is not our job to apply G-Ds justice.
All the best

Query regarding L-d action against a sinner....
Question:
If a Jewish person during their life commits many sins..including either by deliberate commission or accidental omission a great sin against the L-D and the L-D in his judgement is obliged to strike the person down in this life..if the sinner before dying not only sincerely repents of the sin in question but humbly acknowledges the L-D was just in his actions {Similiar as to King Josiah was punished for not listening to the Prophet Jeremiah}-would the sinner receive pardon from the L-D for sanctifying the L-D's Judgement against him?

Hi
Thank You for Your question.
Certainly if a sinner does Teshuva, G-d does forgive them.
While Teshuva is usually translated as "repentance" it is so much more than that. You can read more about the concept here -

RE: Torah Queries and responces - back again - 05-01-2022
On 1 May 2022 submitted the following query to Ask A Rabbi [Chabad]and Ask a Rabbi Aish Torah]
Question Summary:
Date: 05/01/2022
Incident ID: 5620473
Resubmitting question again:
Question:
earler today I had submitted a question here However my email crashed and I had to restart again with a different email address {sorry}
Is there a Torah solution to Jewish Communities paradox? Now the Torah, the People of Israel and the Land Of Israel are seperate yet interconnected with each other. Now the paradox is: There are Jewish Communites in Galat who live their lives within the Torah except in one instance:They are convinced that the only way they can resettle in the Land of israel is when the Anoited one personally leads them back-thus they refuse in either their lifetimes or dying to ever go up to Israel under any circumstances. On the other hand their are Jewish Communites in the Land of Israel who look upon them selves as non religious Jews who view the Torah as a "history Book" but not as a guide for living a Jewish life. Thus on one hand are Jews who have the Torah but not the Land of Israel and on the other hand Jews who live in the Land of Israel but do not have the Torah. As the L-d warned the People of Israel that not living the Torah would lead to Galat-is there a Torah solution so that all the People of Israel live the Torah in their Lives and Live in the Land of Israel as well?

Dear ,
Thank You for your question. You are correct in that different segments of the Jewish World have different deficiencies that that still require rectification. There is important outreach work that still must be done and that is what we at Aish Ha Torah dedicate ourselves to!

JAcob and his daugther Dinah:
Question:
Puzzeld by Jacob behavior after Dinah defilment by Shecham...why was it that his sons Levy and Simon avenged their sister outrage on Shecham and not Jacob personally? His responce was to scold both sons on the grounds that their actions had made him "loathsome" to Cannaties and Perizzites. Indeed someone reading this account for the first time could draw conclusion that for the sake of "Peace" Jacob was willing to let Dinah be defiled by forcing her to stay married to Seachem,,and yet it is also made clear that Seachem had forced himself uoon her. [similar to how Amnon had forced himself on Tamar becasue of lust and not love?}{In contrast to Isaac who had courted Rebekah properly without force). Likewise did Not hamor have a ulterior motive-that the Hebrews would intermarry with the Hivites-and once they were part of the "people of the land"..lose their soon to be unique identity as Israelites? If I am wrong please correct me

Jacob and his daughter Dinah postscript:
0n 5/8/2022 reply to 5626644
B"H
Hi
Jacob's main issue what that his sons took the law in their own hands without consulting with him first. Their good intentions notwithstanding, he did not approve of their vigilante approach.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
Rabbi Eliezer Zalmanov,
for Chabad.org
On 5/10/2022 I sent a copy of the short query on why Jacob did not consult with the L-D after Dinah dishonor,,,,
Question:
To the question that has just been posted..another query-If Jacob was afraid that be avenging his daughter Dinah would lead to his desctruction...why did he not [like Abraham, Isaac and Moses when they had difficult problums to solve} consult with the L-d On a proper course of action to take accept Hamor terms or fight Him?
On 5/11/2022 received the answear from ASk A Rabbi Aish Torah:
Dear
Thank you for contacting us. Directing communication with G-d in a moment of great distress with the expectation of receiving immediate guidance is never easy given even for the highest of prophets. It is for this reason that all people, even the wisest and holiest, must study and prepare and refine themselves so that it moments of challenge they will be most well-equipped to deal with any adversity the best way that they feel G-d wants them too.
With blessings from Jerusalem,
Rabbi Yoni Miller
