Q&A #13 - What to Treat as a Fact, How Curses Work, and How Berachos Work

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Synopsis: This morning (12/9/22), in our Friday Q&A, we addressed three topics: (1) When learning Chumash - or, to be honest, any other area - how do you know what to treat as a "fact" and what to treat as a "theory"? (2) How do curses from other human beings work? (3) How do berachos from other human beings work? Although we didn't arrive at definitive answers for all three questions, we definitely gained some insights!-----מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות מלכים ומלחמות ט:ידרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר קנין, הלכות מכירה ז:א-ברמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות סנהדרין והעונשין המסורין להם כו:זרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות תפילה וברכת כהנים טו:ז -----The Torah content for the month of Kislev has been sponsored by Serena and Paul Koppel, who want to be makir tov and express gratitude.-----If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
