Do Women Have Something to Hide?

Why does Judaism command women to keep their bodies covered? Is there something shameful or evil about a woman's body? If men can't control their urges then it's their problem, not women's. Why should a woman have to hide herself just so others shouldn't be tempted? 




Are You Having a Bad Day?

Sorry to email you at 3am, but I am pondering a weird question: Why do we sleep? It seems a waste of time. Why did G-d create us in a way that we get tired and need to sleep? Wouldn't life be much more productive if we could just keep going?



Save the Planet

Last night whilst having dinner with some friends we got onto the topic of children. I expressed my wish to have as many children as possible (like at least 5). I was shocked to hear that I was "socially irresponsible" if I had more than 2 children. I was told that the world is overpopulated and its resources fast depleting. And I was totally outnumbered in this debate, as I was the only one who believed in big families. We are going to be the mothers and fathers of the future generations and it really worries me that this such popular belief.... What is the Jewish take on this?



Is he the one for me?

Rabbi, do you give romance guidance? I am in a serious relationship with a great guy. We have been together for a while now and I have very strong feelings for him. He is ready to get married, and is getting a bit impatient with me. But I'm just not sure. Something is holding me back, and I can't put my finger on it. Sometimes I think, if he's my soulmate, why do I have doubts? I don't want to hurt him but I just don't know what to do. Any advice?



Is Religion Responsible for War?

I am Jewish but cannot embrace Judaism as a religion. Religion is the cause of all wars and I believe we would be closer to world peace without it. Wouldn't the world be better off if it weren't for religion?
