59:13
00:00 As society gets wealthier, will there be a point when we don’t need to give Tzedakah? 1:30 the Gemara in brachos raises a contradiction wherein HaShem gives over the earth to everyone but also that he owns everything until someone makes a bracha (including non-Jews) 4:16 The rambam says the mitzvo of the building of the beis hamikdash will follow Eliyahu HaNavi but the Temple Institute wants to build it now.

00:00 If a Cohen makes korban pasul (e.g. with wearing unsanctioned clothing) who pays for it? 2:22 Why is it that for mincha and musaf there is an extra pasuk for Ashkenazim before Amida (ki shem HaShem) (7:42) if we have so many lost Jews around the world such as in South America how will we fit them in Israel when Moshiach comes? 11:46 In the time of the 2nd Beis Hamikdash, there wasn’t the need for the Ahron, so what would that mean for Avoda? 14:42 Why do we pray for Moshiach?—shouldn’t we have faith he will come at the right time? 18:53 there is a Mishne in the 2nd perek of Hagiga mentioning there are 4 things 1 shouldn’t think about: what are those? 25:45 In Parashas Ki Sisa the counting of the people is done with a half-shekel. Why is it acceptable for Moshe to count this way? 34:48 in the Zilberman school of learning they learn Tanakh baal pe, then Gemara bekius and only then beiyun. Is this more the authentic method? 44:30 What language would a Gemara today be in if it weren’t written at the time?—Would it be in multiple languages? 46:45 Considering bris milah, if the body is perfect, why would one need to change a body? Why did HaShem indicate the bris to be on the male organ? 52:35 Would bris milah apply to non-Jews or Adam haRishon? 55:10 Is the order of Alef Beis random?

Thus, when he spoke about Kishinev, he did not refer to it as an event or a place, but rather as a condition.

In 1949 the State of Israel honored Herzl’s request and brought his bones to be buried in the state that he envisioned. Assimilated Herzl did not appreciate the meaning of the Land of Israel to the Jews, and was more concerned about acquiring a pragmatic solution – even if it would not be in Israel. TFJ takes a look at other lands that were offered to the Jews such as Birobidzan in far-eastern Siberia. Herzl’s family did not follow in his path, leaving his legacy to be treasured by those who moved to the land that he foresaw.

TFJ: Series 1 Episode 21: The Birth of Israel At the beginning of the 1900s new settlers arrived in Israel who were very different from the earlier, pious settlers living in Israel. In garb, outlook and conduct the differences were vast, and it was Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, better known as Rav Kook who attempted to bridge the gap by not veering from tradition, but also not writing off the new immigrants. Rav Kook was exiled from Israel during WWI and spent the duration in London at the time of the Balfour Declaration. Jewish parliamentarians, afraid that they might be accused of dual loyalty for supporting the creation of a Jewish state in Israel, shamelessly asserted that Judaism does not require a Jewish homeland. This commenced a discussion that will last through three episodes regarding man’s ability, and sometimes even predilection, to render an opinion whether or not they are qualified to do so.
