Q&A- Mashiach, Milah & Aleph Bais

00:00 If a Cohen makes korban pasul (e.g. with wearing unsanctioned clothing) who pays for it?

2:22 Why is it that for mincha and musaf there is an extra pasuk for Ashkenazim before Amida (ki shem HaShem)

(7:42) if we have so many lost Jews around the world such as in South America how will we fit them in Israel when Moshiach comes?

11:46 In the time of the 2nd Beis Hamikdash, there wasn't the need for the Ahron, so what would that mean for Avoda?

14:42 Why do we pray for Moshiach?—shouldn't we have faith he will come at the right time?

18:53 there is a Mishne in the 2nd perek of Hagiga mentioning there are 4 things 1 shouldn't think about: what are those?

25:45 In Parashas Ki Sisa the counting of the people is done with a half-shekel. Why is it acceptable for Moshe to count this way?

34:48 in the Zilberman school of learning they learn Tanakh baal pe, then Gemara bekius and only then beiyun. Is this more the authentic method?

44:30 What language would a Gemara today be in if it weren't written at the time?—Would it be in multiple languages?

46:45 Considering bris milah, if the body is perfect, why would one need to change a body? Why did HaShem indicate the bris to be on the male organ?

52:35 Would bris milah apply to non-Jews or Adam haRishon?

55:10 Is the order of Alef Beis random?
