Q&A: Proposing, Vaccines, and Jewish Superiority Complex (Rabbi Dovid Gottleib) (Jewish Philosophy)

00:00 Is getting on one knee and proposing a halachic problem? 01:05 Cumulative culture - How do we go about that with a Torah perspective? 05:30 What does the Torah say about vaccines? 07:52 Many insular communities believe that if they're Jewish, they're better than everyone else. Can non-Jews really never be higher than Jews? 14:28 How would a non-Jew know to look to Torah for the Noahide Laws? 19:40 How do we prevent ourselves from collecting mitzvos like points in a game but having it be meaningful? 27:05 How do 'free will' and 'everything is supposed to happen' work together? 31:30 Divine Retribution - why are certain situations personal vs communal punishment? 38:03 Could Rebbe give us a perspective on the conflict and what's going on in our times?
