  Good & Evil:
  Prayers: How can I keep praying for something I want i.e. peace between my divorced parents, and when it doesn;t happen, I get upset?
   I want to make friends however, I've been given physical and mental challenges that take up a lot of my time. Plus with Covid, it's very difficult to meet anyone. Why did Hashem make me this way and make it so hard to make a friend to talk and listen to??
  Moshiach: & Miracles: Why does the world hate Jews? Jews learn Torah to know what we are allowed and not allowed to do. Non-Jews don't want to know this. They want to make up their own rules. Jews become the conscience of the world - explaining what is right and wrong according to G-d.

  It is ok to have a non intimate relationship with someone of the opposite gender in your teens? just to be friends because i really enjoy his company i dont have any attraction to him in any way and would never consider marriage.

        God, the grand master of this world, decided, in his great knowlage, that boys are supirior and must not mix with girls. 

        To think otherwise would be heretic and questioning his wisdom.

          I am not a teenager but I did listen to your answer to the girls about the role of Jewish women. I feel very strongly that the core of the question is not being addressed and I would like to help clarify what the question is and the direction that I think is needed in order to reach the girl's question. As early as in the fourth day of creation, when Hashem made the two luminaries and then made the moon smaller and it complained, Hashem tried to appease the moon by giving it the stars, etc and even then as the Midrash says that every Rosh Chodesh we bring a Korbon to atone for making the moon smaller. On the other side of time, it says that when Moshiach comes, "Isha tesovev gever" , It is clear to all, that the world is being run as a patriarchal society. It is a fact that the most important thing to do is to learn Torah, and a woman is not commanded to do so and thus until the time of Moshiach plays a supportive role to men. Of course, women are important, but in order for peace to reign in a girl's heart, truth must be acknowledged. Even if they don't like it, they like less to be appeased with what they see is not the whole truth. Just one simple fact that the Torah is always addressing men, and only specifies when addressing women is an indication of it. There is so much to be said about it but my purpose is in asking you not to be apologetic but rather this is how Hashem, in His infinite wisdom wants it to be.

  what is th eshidduch crises? does everyone have a bashert?

  i mean cmon everyone ahs their own opinion  this issue, its because of this its bc of that. i mean is there actually a crisis? people claim there are not enough GOOD boys and too many GOOD girls, cmon GOOD is suh a stupid word everyone has their own definition of it. its like the word normal. yeh, so maybe you have to comporomise, by hey isnt that what life is all about? should a girl worry aboout it when she is in shudduchim? and anyway doensnt everyone have a bashert? actually speaking abt basherts does everyone actually have one, how can u miss one? do ppl who die young (lo alenu) have one, do ppl who never marry (lo alenu) have one???? dead confused here pls answer me, i welcome suggestions from anybody. oh and btw thank u so so muhc for this amazing program its so cool, half th questions i have never thought of but the way u anwerit make it make so so muhc sence. anpther awesome thing is half the questions on here re so cringeworthy to ask on public, like i do not think i would get up in a class and ask this or maybe i would, i dunno... nayway thank a mill

  What makes you decide whether to address a specific question or not? I submitted at least ten since you started this program a month ago and none of them were addressed yet. I want to know, is there something wrong with them, or maybe it's not interesting/relevant enough? I mean, I'm a little disappointed...

    Sarah, and those wondering: 

    The Mashiach will be from one linage from the great House of Jacob (fire) and The House of Jesse (burning embers) whom King David is decended. This Mashiach will be known as the Lion of Judah (once known as Ariel), whom will be the future annointed King of Israel (Unicorn) and Judah (Lion). Judah to be restablished in Israel. In regards to Rebbe, no, as no man is allowed to choose or nominate the Mashiach from the royal linage, as only the G-D of Abraham has this divine right to choose the righful future royal Mashiach heir. As was done in the days of King David.

  I have an addiction to music but I don't see how it harms me. Everyone says it's crazy how I walk around in headphones all day but I really don't see it that way. it's not like an addiction to drugs or alcohol or anything like that. The worst way in which it can harm me is by possibly damaging my hearing when I'm seventy years old. So what? I'll wear hearing aids when I'm seventy. Big deal. Is it still bad that I"m so addicted? I'm really having trouble seeing the problem in this. please explain why everyone thinks this is destructive behavior.

  Question:

  Thank you Rabbi YY for all your great programs during coronavirus!

  Rabbi YY has spoken much about how Hashem infinitely loves us and how we should show utmost love to Hashem and to every single Jew. I have learnt that love must be prefaced with fear of Hashem. What exactly does fearing Hashem entail? what does it mean to have Yiras Shomayim? please can you briefly explore this subject?

  Thank you very much!

  Dear rabbi

  why is intimacy a prohibited topic for teens? I mean we all have question and since we're are "kind of not allowed" to ask we draw conclusions ourselves (which in most of the cases are missing a lot of important information) 

  i know this is a sensitive topic, but could you give us some guidance? I feel like we really need one now even more

  thank you for everything you do

  If Hashem is ever existing from before the time of the world and above the whole concept of time why did He only decide to create the world 5780 years ago what was He doing during the other 100000000000000 years before He created the world? And what does He do all day? I heard He learns Torah but He thought of and created the whole Torah and knows everything so how could He learn it? P.s. i really enjoy your classes and they mean a lot to me

    1. Time was also created during creation. So before creation there was "before" creation because time is also a creation.

    2. Hashem learning Torah is a way of saying that Torah is Hashem's mind and wisdom -- of course, He learns Torah, that is His mind, and the Torah are His ideas. Just as person with his mind studies ideas or conceived conepts, Hashem studies Torah -- His mind and thought process is represented by Torah.

  Hi Rabbi YY,

  You saw the president. You were able to handshake. 

  Now, obviously Hashem is greater than the president. How do we have that immense connection and feeling when we speak to Hashem, to have it even more than when we see the president in his physicality?
