We Love Questions!

Please feel free to ask any question on anything related to Torah or Judaism

No question is trivial – “the Bashful never learn” (Ethics of our Fathers). Whether it’s something you missed in Hebrew School, never had a chance to study, a deeper insight into a text you’re studying, or something strange someone said and you wanted to check it up… send in your question to us or come on over! We love to chat, shmooze and study.

Q. Though this question is out of season, it’s been bugging me for years. How could Jews kill a whole Ram just to get the horns for the Shofar?

A. We don’t. Shofars are taken from Rams who died naturally, or from those slaughtered for food. P.S. No question is ever out of season.
