Q&A Mentors Mission - The Yeshiva System, Shidduchim & Truth (Harav Yitzchak Breitowitz)

02:10- Being from LA, a liberal center of America, homosexuality and the like is in the air prominently. What is the Rav think/Jewish perspective about the acceptance and approach to this happening in our circles? 12:13 - There are membership structures in shuls. What would the Rav do about accepting a gay couple to the membership? 13:41- Yeshivos 100 years ago were set up for the elite. Today is a totally different world where everyone goes, not just a small group. What does the Rav think about the system today? Should we change the limud? In terms of ideal observance, there is a lot of pressure on how to act/dress, etc. We don’t accept individuals. Should this change? 26:00 Why can’t we have some yeshivas be more elite and some more broad ranged? 29:03 How do we navigate communicating with gedolim about this or otherwise? 31:28 What is guidance for people 26 or the like who are not holding at a particularly high level but looking into shidduchim? 34:29 As a parent, how do we know when our Baal Teshuva child is stable? 30:11 How would I encourage my family member who intermarried to be honest with himself in his Torah and Derech and a possible spousal conversion? 40:04 If a family member (who had a bad experience in Jewish school) is dating a non -Jew, how do we handle that? 41:18 What makes Judaism truer than other religions that claim to be the true faith? 46:11 How did the yeshiva world react to the Covid pandemic?
