Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/24/23), in our first Friday Q&A, we took up five questions: (1) Is there a halachic way to thank God for it being a nice day? (2a) Is God bound by human logic? (2b) How do we navigate discussions about God with people who hold false ideas about Him? (3) What do you do if you're confronted with two equally plausible sevaros? (4) How should a person balance inyanei d'yoma learning with one's regular routine or curriculum? (5) What is the basis of saying mourner's kaddish?
Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments!
