0:00 In the orthodox world, there is an argument saying limud torah is as important as a soldier in the battlefield. Please clarify 12:46 Is there any hishtadlus in preparing a better army or preparing for the next war? 15:28 We say in Judiasm that on the one hand, the human being is a lower level than other creations, but on the other hand all the universe was created for man to serve Hashem. When should one think either way? 19:19 We're nearing the 6000 year mark of Mashiach, and we've never seen the technology that we have today. Why did Hashem give us these advancements at the same time as the coming of Mashiach? 37:56 If an operation doesn't go well because the doctor made a mistake, shouldn't he be held accountable for it? 38:57 Who was responsible for the disaster at meron? 40:53 Every passing generation is a spiritual decline, how can we stop or reverse the decline? 47:05 If the secular gave the government to the orthodox, how would it work?
