False gheirut
Shalom uvrachá,
Unfortunately today the problem of getting married or to have a relation to a goya has been reinforced with a problem that looks like a checkmate: the rabbis who make thousands of "ghiurim" unscrupulous and nothing is done to stop despite the insistence the cries, the deep agmas nefesh of our unheard Roeh Neeman!

How is it recorded and what is the relevance or meaning if the child of an intermarriage then converts to Judaism ?

my question
Regarding this question, I’m thinking of a different approach.
Because it doesn’t seem logical that the sicha first argues the main purpose of this Rashi is to explain the connection to ויהי אחרי המגפה but then in the second pirush to shift completely to the point that now the main purpose of this Rashi is to explain why there is a minyan now altogether. Especially since that isn’t a question to begin with since we know that minyonim take place at such times as per parshas tisa and bamidbor
People explained here and privately that since the first part of the Rashi shows that the minyan can’t be due to chavivus, plus it’s dochuk now to say it’s about the Acurayus of the roeh, so we’re now forced to explain the purpose of the minyan to be something different entirely. But if we’re ignoring the linkage to ויהי אחרי המגפה then why not simply fall back on chsvivus as per the earlier counts in Torah?
I think maybe the second answer builds in the first and doesn’t completely reject it. We remain with the idea of the achrayus of the roeh. The second pirush is just a minor shift: rather than HaShem telling Moshe to count to TEACH HIM how to be a better roeh, HaShem is telling him to count because he’s about to return the sheep. But it’s still the vort of the shepherd’s achrayus, rather than the baal hatzon‘s interest. Hence Rashi in his second pshat still uses the word צאנו referring to the shepherd!
The fact that the rebbe seems to be sholel this approach in the חצאי רבוע on page 331, I’m thinking בדא״פ this isn’t to say that this second pirush is unrelated to ויהי אחרי המגפה entirely. It’s still closer to the מגפה than the הירגו איש אנשיו losses. However, it would be more smooth if it directly addressed the approaching מיתת משה, since that’s the focus of the counting. But this way we’re not dismissing the first pirush. Because if we dismiss the first pirush the entire rashi becomes unnecessary as per the rebbes first question in the sicha. Plus the details of the moshul as asked on page 327 question 2.
ז.א. גם לתירוץ הב׳ מדובר על מנין השייך לאחריות הרועה, שלכן מחזיר צאנו במנין, דלא כשאר מנינים בתורה שהם מצד חביבות בעל הצאן. וזה שייך לויהי אחרי המגפה
If we said the same thing I’m very happy
I think if you reread the sicha and the way the rebbe goes into the second answer, it’s shayech to see in it clearly the gang that we are taking. That the second answer is mamash a hemshech of the first one, with only one tweak, that it can’t be about teaching Moshe how to be a manhig at this stage but rather asking him to return the flock with a cheshbon.

The change of the soul's nature.
BH. The Rabbi said the soul is turned from a Jewish soul to a goyish soul. Is one referring to the natural soul or the devine soul.
What takes place when a gentile has a child with a Jewish woman?
If the child from the intermarriage then marries a Jewish woman and has a Jewish child, does this help to correct the situation?

1- does it not say manger lo yovo bikhal Hashem? How do we synchronize his Jewishness.
2- Is it brought that the 24,00 students of Rabbi Akivo were gilgulim of these 24,000 in Parshas Pinchus ? ( I think you mentioned this in a sfiras haomer Shiur. )So how can we synchronize this with Hashem not counting them ? For such a long time they were in limbo and then were taken away again ?
