00:00 - Why does the blessing in Shmoneh Esrei say ‘raise’ a complete healing?
02:00 - How strictly should one follow the Rambam on health?
08:00 - Do items like cups used to wash acquire sanctity and therefore forbidden to use for certain actions?
12:30 - It says Hashem offered the nations the Torah. What did he show them?
15:00 - What would have happened if the nations had accepted the Torah?
17:30 - Do we need both soldiers and learning? Why doesn’t the Torah-World accept the importance of soldiers?
26:00 - People say good things happen to bad people because they have a small merit which is paid off in this world so as not to have reward in the next. Why does he not carry this merit into the next world?
34:00 - How should we understand the statement in Mishlei that says one should not despise someone who stole because he was starving?
42:45 - There is a mitzvah to not kill or steal. Am I fulfilling this mitzvah in my sleep?
49:15 - In right-wing places there is much less tolerance of nuance. The Gemara says Rabbi Meir would seek knowledge from bad people. Should we do the same?
01:02:30 - Is Mayim Achronim an obligation?
01:09:30 - How to see the world through daas torah?
01:13:00 - Should we wrap up bread after eating and throw it away after eating?
01:15:00 - What is FFB trauma and how can we avoid it?
01:18:30 - The Torah mentions blessings and curses but no mention of the next world. Why?
