Ask the rabbi

Q: Since chickens have no milk does the “no meat – no cheese” rule really apply?

February 23, 2009: Cleaning the tallis
"Your question is also a teaching – that you treasure your tallis and you use it enough for it to now need laundering.  Beautiful!"
Jun. 1, 2007: Visiting the cemetery on Shabbat
"…visiting her mother’s grave in an honouring and reverent way does not conflict with Shabbat for her unless it would make her unduly sad…"
Dec. 12, 2005: Rennet, cheese and keeping kosher
"…the seemingly trivial question of to eat or not to eat cheese with rennet takes on far deeper meaning."
Dec. 12, 2005: Why do we light on Hanukkah from left to right?
"…The first light is the essence of the mitzvah; the others are lovely and delightful 'extras'."
Apr. 12, 2005: Matrilineality and Judaism
"Most scholars believe that the change from patrilineal to matrilineal took place after the end of the Bible and before the time of the Mishnah."
Feb. 13, 2005: "B": The first letter of both the Torah and the Qur'an
"…Genesis and the Qur'an begin with the same phrase…however, you have to bring the focus a lot closer…so close that you are inside the first letter – B."
