  you're only 15? you sound very intelligent, all the answers u gave on this page are brilliant.
  
  you are gay, u think males are superior which maybe they are according to the Torah, you think Mashiach isn't coming, chas veshalom, but you seem to know Torah so well. hmmm

    I don't think males are superior, because they are not.
    
    It's because I know the Torah well that I know that there is no hero riding up in the sunset coming to save us, or any other claims in the torah. The contradictions, hate and repressivness in the torah, and many other seforim, should be enough to turn anyone who reads it properly into an athiest.

      i dont know y you are so stupid thinking. yes! there is contradictions. but there is also so many proof that the toreh is devine like the skiping letters etc. and if judasium is just another religioun is athieism twice!

Adam and eve
Why do we have to suffer because of Adam and Eva's sin? After all I personally didn't eat from the eitz hadas?

1. I waned to express my gratitude to you, for providing a platform for "all topics Yiddishkait" to listen to when i'm washing the dishes, folding laundry or just driving to work. Your Shiurim are always captivating, and entertaining and i usually end up concluding that this that i need to learn more and open up Seforim like my days in Yeshiva.

2. Thank you for bringing the Rebbes Sichos to places that would not allow it 20 years ago. I love listening to your shiurim that are major Pilpul with sources from all over and then discover the Rebbe brings it all together. (the sub- terrain Beis Hamikdash shiur. i remember being so excited about it, that several weeks later i was in SA and my host had recently listened to it as well, super excited we sat Friday night discussing it till 2 AM).

3. Thank you for making the Satmar to the not yet Religious Jew feel at home with Torah, i envy it and would love to learn those skills as well.

4. The main reason i wanted to email. Your answer about Yom Hatzmaot, was powerful and meaningful and best of all applicable. The fact that its the Rebbes own answer gives it more relevance and weight in light of all the "interpretations" and commentary going around on social media now. From what i have gathered, that 95% of Chabad people dont even know this answer from the Rebbe and many writing bc we see the Rebbe was so loving and pro Israel he must have agreed to celebrating Hey Iyar. My request to you, is that you cut that clip with your explanation and post it separately and maybe even distribute it on Chabad sites and wahtsapp. It would be beneficial and helpful to Chabad and non Chabad all over.

One thing i wanted to add, i recall a "my encounter with the Rebbe" with R. Leible Posner about a conversation his father had with the Rebbe before Yud Shvat in 1948-9, where R Shalom asked the Rebbe for the correct approach to the State etc (Pittsburgh at the time had a very strong Zionist community) and the Rebbe responded the Halacha is clear "shlosha Shavuos etc" however now after the fact its a matter of Pikuach nefesh and saving lives etc. Therefore he finishes that we see the Rebbes approach to the wars, settlements, peace negotiations etc was always that its a matter of Pikuach Nefesh etc.

Thanks for the amazing inspirational shiurim one by one!

You manage to inspire and uplift so many people including me, your words definitely have a bigger impact than the big bens' chime!

As a British citizen i found it interesting that the last few shiurim you started with a story from our country/monarch, i wonder where the vast knowledge in british history comes from? Is there any specific interest you have in british history?

Maybe i as a native should study more about it?
