the ask the rabbi said day night at 8 p.m. on org or live in the Staten Island tourist spots and now please join me in welcoming her a Brian welcome everyone to ask the rabbi with rabbi Mintz tonight we're going to do a sampling of what we have every Tuesday night we're going to be taking two questions from the crowd rabbi Shimon beer and mrs. Sarah Feldman two of our tour mate coordinators are in the crowd they will be choosing two people that will ask their questions that I must tell you asked the rabbi is one of the most exciting programs that we have at any of our era and zone events it's an opportunity to ask any question that's on your mind to Rabbi Mintz and as you'll see tonight that'll be mince answers it with Torah wisdom and knowledge and with such sensitivity to the person asking and to the subject that's being asked you can have your attention please rabbi Mintz have you taught everybody Fretilin Konica Lukas Amiata I just let say a few words before we start the questions ask the rabbi is really what Jewish people are all about we're about Torah as the rabbi means questions about Torah about Judaism and what wakes us for Jews not bagels and lox Torah studying Torah Torah is the biggest mission that Jewish people have more than any other Mitzvah because studying tourists connecting to a sham it's Lexington God because Torah and God are inseparable Torah and God go together when we send learnt are we're connecting to a sham and what could be a bigger enjoyment Mitzvah thank Natasha and I'll take this opportunity to mention to all of you since Torah such an important thing about the Jewish people we have but or America problem program termites program for termites that means once a week you can have somebody call you on the phone study Torah for half an hour a man will call the man the woman to call a woman and it's free of charge and I really would ask all of you beg all of you nobody leave this hall tonight without getting at our made and this will be the biggest Mitzvah that you could do and the biggest honor for Hanukkah on the way out we have the booth to sign up for two roommates and their hope that everybody will take advantage of it and make sure not to leave tonight without taking a tour mate ok rabbi Reisman let's get started ok now far first question rabbi Shimon beer can you please pick someone from the crowd to ask the first question hi what's your name Paul freed what's the connection to aura I'll discover you participant discovery yo what's the question Paul I rabbi so my question is with a lot of the states considering legalizing marijuana what is the tourist perspective once it become legalized can be smoked up okay that's a great question Paul by the way long times only a key has a tour mates been involved for many years Paul how you doing good to see you here so the question is Paul's question is many states have already legalized marijuana new jersey is getting there what is the tourist perspective to smoking marijuana once it becomes legal well it's a very important question because it's becoming more and more asked by many people and we have to realize that man is made up of a body and the brain our body is animalistic all animals have a body's but not amble till their brains and God created us different from animals because we have our cycle or intellect able to think able to make decisions able to live with our brain to guide us to do the right things to think the right things to say the right things and this is what makes us into human beings our brain and we don't want to make any damage caused any damage to our power of thinking the Rambam says it's forbidden to get drunk the Rambam says and yeah how can you take a look it's forbidden to get drunk why because person who's drunk is not using his brain to the full extent possible he cannot make decisions like he should he could not learn Torah like he should cannot answer questions like you sure he can't derive like he can do anything like he should my person doesn't have his brain to guide him so I would say the rambabu's have the same thing as far as marijuana is concerned it's thing that we should not be doing because it's going to cause us to take away from my power of thinking of decision making and we want to be fully equipped with our circle in order to survive Shem to the maximum and the alert service temperature maximum is what we have our power of thinking so therefore I would say without any question my good friends they might legalize it but ain't Jewish [Applause] okay and now for our second question mrs. Feldman can you please choose someone from the crowds you have a question please stand up what's your name Rachel Fletcher Rachel how are you affiliated with arrived I have tour mates my kids go to chill zone and my kids are setting up for the zone oh wow great okay do you have a question for the rabbi I do so I wanted to know if the purpose of a married woman covering her hair is for modesty then why is it that some married women cover their hair with wigs that are prettier than their own hair okay another great question if the purpose of women covering the hair after the married is for modesty and how does it help if you use a wig that's nicer than your own hair to cover you here well that's a very good question but the whole idea that a woman is not allowed to uncover her hair is she's not supposed to look nice that's not true I'm supposed to look nice she should look nice and that that's not the idea the idea that everyone altogether we know that Jewish women and girls are supposed to dress modestly and the girls have their modest standards according to Torah law and when woman gets married she goes to a higher level of greatness being married having a family and she also gets a higher standard of spirituality and no Mitzvah to cover her hair covering your hair means modesty means covering person's body should not be seen by others it should be covered according to terrorist standards and the main reason of modesty is person to cover themselves comfortable ease a hair is a part of a person's body and that is what a married woman is supposed to come up to a new standard of spirituality to cover a new part of herself which is her hair a wig is not part of her own body a wig is a foreign object she's putting on herself and it's not herself and that is the reason why a wig is permitted because it's not part of persons herself everyone bother yourself it's a either somebody else's hair or synthetic hair but it's not herself so therefore it's not because not to look nice a woman's a lot look nice you should look nice but it's just a matter of modesty by the way some people look at modesty as a put-down for a woman he's not allowed to show herself but we suggest the opposite this shows the special position of a woman by Judaism just like a person woman would wear a gown every day it's only for special occasion it's not for Jewish women or girls to be the public view she hides herself comes herself because that is the greatness special part part of a she was person to be so new out to be modest and not the public eye and that shows her greatness and her special being a Jewish woman a girl it's not to put down but it's a put up for her but that is the reason why a wig is permitted because it's not part of herself and that is a modesty is all about before I leave the stage for now I want to mention something which is very very important please listen and I think you'll agree we tonight are here I think over 1,400 people that are here almost 1500 people that are here tonight and when I say people men women the children I don't mean just bodies I mean the Sharma's every Jewish person has in the sharma a soul a holy soul I'm looking now I can't see who by looking that over the crowd because it's shining in my eyes but I know you're out there I was 15 heaven they shot me holding the shutters and what are their in the Sharma that is the tool through which we were able to connect our sham connect to God with that neshama every Jewish person is the holy person every every man when the child is very holy because we having to shovel that connects our chemin we have a lot of power here a lot of spiritual power and I want us to use that power to give a Brucker every Jewish person has the property of a broker because they connect to Taschen within the Shama so many Jewish people together tonight we have a lot of power to give breakfast to people who need broccoli blessings were able to give a blessing so I want to say to you the following list of people who need blessings some of us that are hearing that we all need blessings for different things I want to say each one's individually and when I saved Norma our main everybody would say with great thinking thought reverence and compassion to say our main that chef should listen to our breakfast and help with all those people need Broca's okay you ready everybody the first brokers like we should give together number one many people are not well people have different sicknesses people aren't paying different problems physically we ask Hashem all those who need his recovery should have your full a month a quick recovery very soon no my remain very many people having a hard time with the livelihood they might have big families them have special expenses and they're having a hard time supporting their family supporting themselves we asked God to give a chef a Bravo a bundle of blessing that she's able to have a livelihood without any problems but no matter are many are married some people are looking for jobs they might have a parent not happy with the job they have they wanted to have a job they'll be happy but to get up in the morning and be able to look forward to the day having a job which I appreciate what they enjoy Hashem should give everybody the right kind of job by Nasser which they will be happy with no Morel man I married many people are looking further it's so late to get married many men and women want to get married want to have a Jewish home one have the mitzvah of having children but they're having a hard time to find their by shelter the man wants what the right woman the woman who had the right man in their life so we ask Hashem speedily to give all those people looking for shidduchim does she find the right partner very soon for Romero main very many people that are married but they're having a hard time having children they're craving to have children they might not have any to might have some they want more such a big mission for us staff build to have children to make up for the six million Jews that were eliminated during the last generation we went to have a lot of the children to bring children back Jewish people back into the world so we ask God Shem please give those people craving to have children give them sons and daughters as many as they want plus but no matter our main are married many people have children but they don't have not just initial their children are having problems in different ways not finding themselves in life and they're called children that are on the brink that they don't know where they're holding into Judaism and we ask Hashem that he should give guidance to these children and they should be able to be on the right path of Judaism and be great Jewish people to go up to be greater than lieth great great leaders of Judaism and there's B on the right path very soon phenomena I mean I've been hinted a note over here to please to pray for a Teaneck been a loner brother who was in critical condition and we ask Hashem to give a proof for Schlemmer for this baby but no matter I mean America okay and now the last but not least we want to praise a sham people have families they're married they have children children good children but it's no shallow bias no peace in the home the parents are not getting along with each other and that spoils the whole feeling of the home place a sham oh those who have families should have love between each other without any problems but no matter our men are married thank you very much and all the best okay if you have any questions you'd like to ask rabbi Mintz make sure to send them to ask the rabbi at org tune in Tuesday nights to watch these questions answered live at nine o'clock at [Music] Thank
