Why was that held against him? How are we supposed to know when there is an Eis Ratzon for something?" (Via anonymous) "Given the recent elections in Israel and the USA, I was wondering the following: Why does the Torah require us to have a king? History has shown all the problems that a total monarchy has. Even the Jewish kings in Tanach routinely had problems with corruption and abuse of power (for example, King Achav killing the innocent Navos and hunting down the Neviim, Queen Atalya killing almost all the dependents of David, Menashe forcing everyone to worship the Baal, other kings who killed the Sanhedrin, etc.)Is democracy really worse than having a complete tyrant on the throne? Why does the Torah require a king when the position is (and indeed was) so easily corruptible?” (Via anonymous) "It’s said that words have power, so we must be careful what we say. On the pre-YK podcast you said, to make a point, ""I cut off my leg with a power saw."" Why is it OK to make this and other bold statements, that others would not?" (Via Shoshana Schwartz) "Suppose you have a friend that wants to arrange a Shidduch between your child and his, and you know it's a bad idea. Is there a way to politely turn down the Shidduch and still remain friends? Thank you" (Via anonymous) "Can you speak about being "frummer than Hashem" - doing Chumras that in essence don't help you grow in your Ruchniyus?"

Didn't chazal know that this would lead to an unclear mesorah about which birds we can and cannot eat? (Via Benni Malek) "Why would Hashem bring dementia to old people and have them lose their memories? They seem like they’re just not with us here. Who suffers more - us or them? Thank you" "You've mentioned in the past that your parents referred to you as a "lo yutzlach". Did they do the same to your siblings? If not, why only you?" (Via "Rabbi Orlofsky Crazy Number One") "I learned how to drive last year. BH I happen to be a good and responsible driver. When I first started driving, I would be really nervous and daven extra hard that morning that when I drove, I would drive safely and not hurt anyone else. (I’m a generally anxious person, if you can’t tell.) Now, when I drive, I don’t feel so nervous anymore. I daven but I don’t worry about it as much during tefillah. And not worrying makes me worry… is Hashem going to see my lack of worry as me being too confident in my skills (eg kochi votzem yudi) instead of believing it’s Hashem who keeps me safe no matter how experienced I am?"

(Via anonymous) "What bracha is shnitzel? I recently heard that it might be mezonos, but I always thought chicken was shehakol. Can you please explain? (Via anonymous) "If the Rav can meet anyone in the world, who would it be and what would you say to them? (Via anonymous) "Why is it that whenever there is some sort of crisis for example 9/11, COVID, Russia invading Ukraine etc. someone finds a Chazal or Sefer that says these exact details mean Mashiach is coming. Don't we believe Achakeh Lo B'chol Yom Sheyavo? why is everyone getting so excited about a war? (Via anonymous) "You mentioned some people who were 'traumatized' from the story of the Netziv. I think I may be (read: for sure am) one of those people. The attitude that I can always be living life better than right now can be tormenting and robs me of my yishuv hada'as after every big decision. 'maybe I could've been more, maybe I should've chosen that path, maybe when I get to shamayim everything IDID do will pale next to what I couldhave done. Maybe if I was a better person I would have been zoche to a more holy job/family/friends/hadracha and I'll be chayav for all the lost opportunities’, etc. The thoughts are not constructive and yet I can't let go of them – because aren't they true? How can we be honest about the fact that we are imperfect and have much room for growth, and still have an attitude that inspires growth and not anxiety and despair? I remember hearing my father quote the Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Leibowitz zt""l say 'If it's bringing you closer to HaShem it's the yetzer tov, if it's bringing you further away, it's the yetzer hara' - but it's hard to fight such a religious yetzer hara to me!
