Question: I am a very practical & strong person. But now a days i feel my whole life is gone. I have lost the control of my life. I loved a girl from muslim community from last 8 years. She also loved me but somewhere we went week & she got married 3 days back to some other guy in her community. Now i feel like suicidal & feel like dying as i dont feel i can live a normal life without her.
Answer: Hi, It is okay to love someone even if in the end you are not together. Every match even small conversation between two people happens for a reason. You have to hold on tight to the roller coaster of life and just hang in there, know that Hashem has something better in plan for you.

Answer: Beni noach is a up and growing movement. Check your local chabad center if they are involved in any activities with this. See my website, www.noachspace.com and get involved in the movement. A bnei noach is supposed to learn that which pertains to his 7 mitzvos and not study the rest of Torah.

Answer: I think most mothers walking into the orthdox wedding of their first child are all in the same shoes. There is really nothing to worry about, the Rabbi always points you in the right direction. As far as the gown, make sure that the colar is high and that the sleaves are past the elbow and you are set to go.

Subject:Gay Marriage
Question: Reb, what are your views on gay marriage & why there are many homosexuals coming out today? Thanks, Art
Answer: Judaism strictly forbids this. My views on homosexuality is that most people are pulled in this way not because of genes but because of broken homes. Either the father or mother not really being there for them and sometimes a traumatic experience with the opposite sex. Also because of the influences of Hollywood. I have seen plenty of people who thought they were homosexual live healthy straight lives after dealing with childhood troubles which caused them to think they need to rely upon a same sex friend in a physical way when in the end, with self confidence & understanding, they rose above this to have a healthy family life.

Question: Is my MySpace site "unkosher?" Do you advise your readers to stay away, even from such "G-d inspired writings" because you do not feel comfortable endorsing it with your rabbinacle authority?
Answer: I try to keep my Jewish outreach work on myspace separate from my ilovetorah work. There are things myspace allows, which I complained to them about, that nobody, Jew or non-Jew should be exposed to. Especially the children. I am shocked at what they allow. Therefore, I don't promote my followers to go there but if they are already there, I try to take care of them lifting myspace with Torah & Judaism (which I see you also do). We have over 14,000 myspace followers today.

Question: Is this the serious problem, in the Orthodox community, that I see it as---that only those prescribing to approved-formula Judaism are taken seriously---the rest of the world is dishonored and "avoided like the plague?"
Answer: Well it is a two way street this problem, orthodox are also treated like extreme crazy people and avoided. In the orthodox circles, many reasons for the lack of good communication with non-religious is simply due to their lack of experience and education in different communication skills. There is also a lack of understanding & respect both ways. Way too many stereotypes as well. This is a problem that should be addressed by all movements of Judaism. It is one of my own personal goals to prove these steriotypes wrong but at the same time, many people are only human and do fit into these catagories. Probably because they are too afraid to be themselves.

Question: What is your suggestion for a single woman who would maybe like to have a relationship, but not get married at this time. I want companionship, without having to violate Torah. Meeting people is a challenge. Do you have any advice?
Answer: In Torah, we believe in not putting a stumbling block before other Jews or ourselves. To date for companionship usually harms one of the individuals involved and can lead to sinful activity. Dating is and should be taken very seriously. If it isn't the right time then better to just pursue friendships that are clearly nothing more. In the orthodox circles, we would advise close friendships to be with members of the same sex in order not to accidentally be tempted to violate any negative commandments unless this relationship has future marriage possibilities.

Subject:Can I marry a Jew?
Question: I am dating a Jewish man and I want to know if it is okay to marry him.
Answer: You might but you are not his bashert as he is supposed to marry another Jew as otherwise, he will nott have jewish children and carry on tradition from his blood which is for generations. It is said in the Talmud, our most sacred work that G-D chooses the match before he sends the Jewish soul down. I don't want to be rude but this is what we believe and i have never met a Jewish man or women who married outside ever be TRUELY happy in life. Sometimes love is blinding but part of being married to someone is having the same religious goals and beliefs. If this isn't the foundation, then what is?

Subject:gay and Judaism
Question: dear reb i come from a jewish family we are not the most religious people in the world but i no that if i tell my parents i am gay they will not accept me for me and say it is against religion and probably neva speak to me again is there any advise you can give me ??
Answer: Well, without a question today majority of people who are considering themselves gay are having this tendency do to the openness in society towards gays. In fact, in order to sell movies and tv shows, they portray gay couples more and more in Hollywood. As teens and people see this on a regular basis, it starts to become normal. I truly believe (& have seen) without a question that having gay thoughts is something that can be controlled through studying Torah and practicing Judaism and watching less of Hollywood. In your case, I would just ask you to reconsider if this is just outside thoughts trying to keep you from living a happy life. There is no question that people who have this test in life are from very holy souls, special souls that the Satan wants to keep away from Torah and a pure life. My heart goes out to your suffering and internal battles. If you persevere, I am sure that you will see that you are one of the holy ones of Hashem that was given this test only that your soul would be one of the greats of Israel. As far as the question at hand, I think that nobody has the right to judge anyone and parents love for their children should never be blocked by anything. Just as my love for you as a fellow Jew, has no bounds and I would do anything to bring you a good life.

It was not a Jewish wedding nor one that in my opinion had the proper vows. Does he need a divorce? What kind? Or was this like having a girlfriend, in Hashem's eyes? Thank you for caring about us far away .
Answer: It sounds like he would need a divorce (get) if she was Jewish. This is a question that should be possed to a Rabbi who specializes in giving Gets. It is actually something that most Rabbis do not know so well and is usually handled by Bais Din, Jewish Court. If you need help to find a specialists in gets, let me know.

A question arose - is that a problem? wearing a wedding ring of someone else??? Thank you for your time. Shabat Shalom Best of Health and Wealth, Oren
Answer: People think that if you don't' wear your wedding ring, it is a symbol that you don't care about your spouse and put them first. This really isn't true. The ring doesn't really have such an effect. It is simply a symbol of the dedication and love a couple has to one another. Putting on someone else's ring isn't a problem. I just hope in the end, she returned it quickly. It isn't fun knowing you lost something that has intrinsic value.

Question: Dear Reb Moshe, When i married my wife about 5 yrs ago I was not observant at all. Now I have found the light of Hashem. My wife is not Jewish and has begrudgingly "gone along " with my transformation. I really wish she would study enough Torah to Want to convert. She hasn't. The more observant I become the less patience she has. "you're not the man I married." I am a better man. It seems we have this distance between us. I love her with all my heart and do not want to lose her. How can I convince her that being Jewish is as cool and rewarding as I say it is? Can we continue to live like this, with this riff between us?
Answer: Hi, According to Jewish Law, you are not married as she is not Jewish and it was not a permitted marriage. When we convert people, we Never push them into seeing the light of Judaism, it is something they have to come to themselves. If you continue on this avenue with her, you will only hurt each other. In the end, you will no longer be observant at all. You really should think about the importance of marriage and everything in life being only for Hashem and to bring forth light to the world. Sometimes if you love someone enough, you have to let them go. Especially when the relationship doesn't lead to healthy things or self growth.

Question: sometimes I feel as though no matter how great a woman is; as soon as her husband comes HE is the greater one.
Answer: You should think of your husband as the greater one and he should think of you as the greater one. When you are both together in shalom, then you are each great. When you think you are great without the other, then you are nothing. those whom he loves the most, he wants to draw closer to him. When everything is always working out, people forget Hashem but only his true servents he wants near. When things are hard we pray more and look to Him. We also don't know the true meaning behind things. What appears bad to us here is not always really bad when seen from the Devine purpose.

Subject:thinking of divorce, the Shechinah as women
Question: Counceling doesn't seem to help our marriage and I am thinking of divorce.
Answer: you have to understand, a woman represents the Shechinah. She has to be elevated buy the man. If you turn your back on her, you turn it on the Shechinah. Hashem trusted you with the Shechinah here, he knows that she is in pain and hard for a man to understand but a person has to totally nulify themselves to elevate her. She is no different then another you would marry. The gemarah says, there is no comparison to a man's first wife. Meaning, if he remarries she will be worse. There aren't enough reasons here to get rid of her like you are thinking. You should seek out a better marriage councelers and try harder to be a humble person to her. The letter was a few months already, time to forget it and move on from the letter. Obviously she shouldn't have written it, if i asked her, I am sure she would agree but she was in pain and confused at the time. Why is it so hard for even 2 weeks to take anything she dishes out? Why can't you just let all go and keep the pain inside. As soon as you do that, it starts her reversal. Woman are naturally givers, all you need to do is give first and they can't stop.

Subject:Always fighting
Question: We are always fighting and she has to be right and win about everything. What do you advise?
Answer: Marriage takes work, it takes a bittle person. If you were bittle to her mood swings, eventually they will disapear and she will become bittle to you. The man always has to take the first step with being bittle, nothing. Tell her she is right, agree with her more. Show her how sensitive you can be. Show her that you are not a fighter no matter what. The Chofetz Chaim once made a succah in a spot that he desired and after he put up the scach and his decorations, she made him take it down. He was so upset but he kept it to himself, took apart the entire sukkah and put it where she had wanted it. When this lady says no and pushes you away, it is because she truly inside wants you near to her but she can't say it.

Question: Hello Rav Moshe, Rav Elimelech Lepon suggested I contact you. I am Baal Teshuva Breslov. I don\'t dress in Hasidic clothes. I think there are plenty of people out there like me, however, I have found it almost impossible to find a shadchan(s). Every shadchan I\'ve come across is either straightup Haredi or Dati-Leumi. The Haredim I\'ve been to call Breslov a \"questionable Hashkafa\" and the Dati Leumi people are not really shayach. However, if I go to a Hasidic shadchan they want me to dress Hasidic. I don\'t have anything against Hasidim, but I don\'t feel comfortable with that, since that\'s really not me. So what does someone in my situation do? There are more and more Baalei Tshuva today who are in this sort of situation who don\'t know what to do. Can you help or do you know of anyone who can help? Thanks and Shabbat Shalom,
Answer: Just be yourself cause that is what shidduchim is all about. The right shadchan, the right person will get you. Emunah is your strength

Subject:convert dating
Question: I am a convert. I grew up a Catholic. I am seeing a lovely Jewish girl here, although I made the decision to convert before we began dating. However, in spite of our having been together for over a year now, she has not yet informed her parents of our relationship. She is afraid that they will disown her for seeing a gentile, even though I am a convert. To be frank, I am more religious than she is, as I keep orthodox kosher and I walk on Shabbus, I study Torah daily, and I'm trying to learn Hebrew. I have even re-introduced her to lighting candles on Shabbus and to Havdallah. She is now Reform, but was born and grew up Orthodox in South Africa. Reb. Moshe, please help me to understand why I am still seen as less than a frum Jew when I have found my connection to spirituality that was lacking in Catholicism. While I have read about the ideal of Jewish people hood, I feel that I am being adopted into that people. My children will be Jews, and my grandchildren will be Jews. Most of all, Reb. Moshe, I feel that I am being cut out of our family life, and I am causing my beloved to lie to her family to keep the peace. I don't know what else to do or say. She will not let me meet her parents yet, and keeps saying "soon, not yet" when I bring the subject up. Perhaps I should be writing to "Dear Abbey", but I feel comfortable asking you this, as it involves my developing Judaism, and the role of the convert in American Judaism. Thank you for any light you can shed on this, Reb. Moshe.
Answer: if it is done carefully, why can't she just tell them she is dating a jewish man and not mention you converted at first unless asked. I really don't think this will be a big deal in the end.

Question: hey chag sameach!!! I have a really imporant question for you: What is the name of the rav at who s graves people pray to find their beshert? And more importantly how would I tachles get there? Is there a bus that goes there? It s quite important to me, I am leving Israel soon, and I really want to g before I ll leave. Thanks a zillion Rachel
Answer: The place is called "Amukah", Rabbi Yonatan Ben Uziel. You could maybe take a tour bus from Jerusalem but generally, most people take a taxi there from Tzfat. As a service, I go there and pray for you for a small fee. http://ilovetorah.com/kevarim/index.htm

Subject:Lesbian Relationship
Question: First of all, I am a lesbian. I haven't been out very long. But, it is what I am. I have been waiting to find my bashert. I thought I had found her. She wanted to go to synagogue with me and I introduced her to my shul family. I even introduced her to my Rabbi and his wife! I emailed her to tell her how I felt about everything. And she has ended contact with me. I am very hurt. I don't know what to pray. Or where to go from here.
Answer: HIi, I don't know how to address this question as not only do I believe but I know one can be lesbian and overcome it and marry a man with a healthier lifestyle as this is the guidence the Torah gives. Putting that aside. The Torah teaches us that the idea of basheret comes from faith. The talmud tells us never to pray for ones specific basheret but rather to find the right one from Hashem. I am sorry for your hurt. moshe

Question: I was wondering if it is kosher to kiss a guy ure only dating? is it ok to do before marriage?
Answer: we are not doing this while dating and refrain from touching. YOu see, once these senses are touched, a person looses themselves to lust and emotion rather then thinking with a clear head about the relationship and its direction. The purpose of dating is to find the right person, not to just have fun with the opposite sex. The more a person gives in to even a little of the lust beforehand, the further their true partner goes from them. The more we grow, the more we draw our other half closer. This is just one reason.
