1. "What is the hardest topic/time of year to prepare a speech or drasha for?" (Via Yaakov Jaroslawicz)
2. "You often talk about the idea that Hashem understands our nature and what we are and aren’t capable of.

(Via "Benny Malek")
3. "When is someone halachically obligated to forgive someone? If Person A calls Person B to ask for forgiveness many times, is Person B doing an aveirah if she doesn't answer or says she can't forgive because she's not there yet?" (Via BK)

❓ Questions of the Week
1. "Are the other planets the previous worlds that Hashem created and then destroyed?" (Via anonymous)
2. "Why do you think modern art became so popular? It seems to me that it's random splashes of paint" (Via anonymous)
3. "Do animals have neshamos? The Derech Hashem says no, yet the Kav Hayashar and many chassidishe stories speak of animals being gilgulim. I'm trying to understand if the Ramchal's view is incompatible with chassidishe thinking, in which case, what's the Nekudas hamachlokes? Or can the 2 views be reconciled? Being that you have given Messilas Yesharim shiurim for many years i was hoping you could provide perspective on the Ramchal." (Via Yehuda Kravetz)
4. "I love the show! Question - I've always been uncomfortable with the mitzvah of killing the 7 nations and Amalek, including women and children. I think most of us would be horrified at the idea of going into an Amaleki village and actually killing everyone - parents holding their children, pregnant women, going into the nursery and killing all the babies, nurses and staff, grandparents, schoolteachers, artists, musicians, doctors, special needs kids, etc. it's absolutely horrifying and sounds exactly like the Nazis, Chas veShalom! What's your approach to a mitzvah that at face value stands for unspeakable viciousness and brutality?" (Via anonymous)

1. "I was wondering if the Rav can explain the concept of Kiddush Hachodesh with messengers, especially on Rosh Hashana. Did that mean that everyone was working as if it were a regular day, and then Shluchim come and suddenly it became Yom Tov and everyone has to blow Shofer?" (Via anonymous)
2. "Upon entering a new Zman, can you give some insight on how to avoid burnout, especially when starting with so much enthusiasm?" (Via anonymous)
1. "If an adult is doing something you think isn't so safe (ex. young kids playing in the front yard without supervision, ignoring doctors strong recommendations for a young child's/baby's nutrition) Is it ever your place to get involved as a parent/in-law/sibling/friend?

❓ Questions of the Week
📝 Submit your questions at rabbiorlofsky.com/qa
1. "Why did Chazal only give a list of Kosher Birds and not signs like other animals. Didn't chazal know that this would lead to an unclear mesorah about which birds we can and cannot eat? (Via Benni Malek)
2. "Why would Hashem bring dementia to old people and have them lose their memories? They seem like they’re just not with us here. Who suffers more - us or them? Thank you"
3. "You've mentioned in the past that your parents referred to you as a "lo yutzlach". Did they do the same to your siblings? If not, why only you?" (Via "Rabbi Orlofsky Crazy Number One")
4. "I learned how to drive last year. BH I happen to be a good and responsible driver. When I first started driving, I would be really nervous and daven extra hard that morning that when I drove, I would drive safely and not hurt anyone else. (I’m a generally anxious person, if you can’t tell.) Now, when I drive, I don’t feel so nervous anymore. I daven but I don’t worry about it as much during tefillah. And not worrying makes me worry… is Hashem going to see my lack of worry as me being too confident in my skills (eg kochi votzem yudi) instead of believing it’s Hashem who keeps me safe no matter how experienced I am?"

❓ Questions of the Week
📝 Submit your questions at rabbiorlofsky.com/qa
1. "I know this is a weird question: If Hashem isn't bound by time, why can't we daven for the past if Hashem is there now? (Via anonymous)
2. "What bracha is shnitzel? I recently heard that it might be mezonos, but I always thought chicken was shehakol. Can you please explain? (Via anonymous)
3. "If the Rav can meet anyone in the world, who would it be and what would you say to them? (Via anonymous)
4. "Why is it that whenever there is some sort of crisis for example 9/11, COVID, Russia invading Ukraine etc. someone finds a Chazal or Sefer that says these exact details mean Mashiach is coming. Don't we believe Achakeh Lo B'chol Yom Sheyavo? why is everyone getting so excited about a war? (Via anonymous)
5. "You mentioned some people who were 'traumatized' from the story of the Netziv. I think I may be (read: for sure am) one of those people. The attitude that I can always be living life better than right now can be tormenting and robs me of my yishuv hada'as after every big decision. 'maybe I could've been more, maybe I should've chosen that path, maybe when I get to shamayim everything I DID do will pale next to what I could have done. Maybe if I was a better person I would have been zoche to a more holy job/family/friends/hadracha and I'll be chayav for all the lost opportunities’, etc.
The thoughts are not constructive and yet I can't let go of them – because aren't they true? How can we be honest about the fact that we are imperfect and have much room for growth, and still have an attitude that inspires growth and not anxiety and despair?
I remember hearing my father quote the Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Leibowitz zt""l say 'If it's bringing you closer to HaShem it's the yetzer tov, if it's bringing you further away, it's the yetzer hara' - but it's hard to fight such a religious yetzer hara to me! This is a really big struggle for me. Any practical tips would be appreciated."
(Via Chana G)

❓ Questions of the Week
📝 Submit your questions at rabbiorlofsky.com/qa
1. Any suggestions on ways to affect change and inspire a community of people to spend less? (via anonymous)
2. How come it is general practice to substitute Hashem's Name when singing Shabbos zemiros, eg. "Kah Ribon" instead of Y-ah Ribon"? It seems like this was not the original intent based on how they are written. Thanks. (via anonymous)
3. Some people daven for years and Hashem ignores them. Some people get everything without davening. What does that mean? Does davening work or not? (via anonymous)
4. Where does alcohol play a role in Judaism? We know that we make Kiddush and Havdalah every week on wine, as well as get married over wine. It is a chosheve drink that is at every simcha and many Shabbos and Yom tov meals. Yet on the flip side, we see how dangerous the effects of alcoholism can be. Any insight will be appreciated (via anonymous)

1. "Can you explain the Chazal that Torah can be a "sam hachaim" (potion of life) or a "sam hamaves" (a poison). How can learkgn Torah have a negative effect on someone?
2. "How do you gain self-confidence? How could I not let other people effect me? For example you once spoke how you let people make the same joke about the matzah tie every year and you didn't care? Thank you for making the podcast and especially the question answer segment- I really enjoy it!"
3. "You've mentioned in the past how Adam and Chavah symbolize the ideal marriage - one man, one woman. If so, why are men halachically allowed to have multiple wives? And once you've answered that, by the same logic why can't a woman have several husbands?
4. "I have a question about evolution - of the Rabbi Orlofsky bookshelf. Is it a real bookshelf in Rabbi Orlofsky's house? When did the shelf become a green screen? Does Rabbi Orlofsky travel with a backdrop of the bookshelf? If Rabbi Orlofsky got a new bookshelf, would the green screen change as well?

1. "Is there a real future for Jews in America? I feel that we live in a time when there is not only a spiritual decline but a spiritual decay - something that is rotten deep inside. Everything might look nice on the outside but there is clearly no passion and real devotion to Yiddishkiet. Can that change or is there no real future here?" (Via anonymous)
2. "When a person leaves this world, it's nice if they can leave behind something that can inspire the next generation. This could be books, or in your case podcasts and recordings which will continue to influence people. What else can a person leave behind in this world that will help future people? I would also like to leave something down in this world for even one person to be inspired by." I don't think writing a book is for me (who knows?) but do you have any other ideas? (Via anonymous)

❓ Questions of the Week:
1. "Why is it that among less affiliated Jews there are some Mitzvos that they are very makpid on e.g - fasting on Yom Kippur, Pesach and Bris Milah. These are all quite difficult mitzvos and I wonder why these are generally well observed. If I wasn't affiliated these aren't necessarily the ones I would choose? (Submitted by Geoff Dennis)
2. "Is there such a thing as "don't let people take advantage of you" in Judaism?" (Submitted by anonymous)
3. "I've noticed that many people (especially men) from a Yeshivish background have a sloppy, unkempt appearance. Spills, unclean clothes, lack of hygiene. Why is this? What happened to kavod Hatorah? Why don't they care about looking right?" (Submitted by anonymous)
4. "If men don't like it when their wives repeat the same request why don't they at least make any movement or noise to acknowledge that they heard and understand the first time?" (Submitted by Confused Wife)

❓ Questions of the Week:
1. "What do think about giving your kids things that you perceive as luxuries or extras, if everyone else in the class actually has it? For example, for weekly pizza day in school, every child in my daughter's kindergarten class has been ordering pizza- do I get it for my kid so she won't feel resentful being the only one left out, or will she learn resilience (and my value of saving special things for saving special occasions)?"
