How is it that in the Gemara that some people have a mesora and others don’t?

How does deal with feelings of guilt moving forward having grown up doing aveiros?

What’s the halacha regarding a tchup?

It seems like the frum world sees women place more emphasis on emunah but less with men?

Why does the Torah spend time going through the generations as in Parashas Bereshis and Noach?

 If there will never be a prophet as great as Moshe Rabbeinu, what should be expected from Moshiach?

 How did Eliezer come to Avraham? If he was connected to Nimrod, why did he send him to his enemy?

Will the yetzer hara for avoda zara come back after moshiach?

 Are the descendants of Yishmoel and B’nei Katura also chaiv in bris milah, even today?

    Note from Rabbi Breitowitz: I was asked about the halachic obligation of the descendants of Yishmael to have Bris Milah . I cited the Rambam  that Bnai Yishmael are exempt from Milah though Bnai Keturah are obligated  (as opposed to Rashi who maintains that only the actual sons of Keturah needed Milah and not their descendants ).So far ,so good. I then said that since the Bnai Ketura have intermingled with Bnai Yishmael  and are no longer a distinct group ,all who identify as Bnai Yishmael are now exempt .This was an error on my part . Rambam says exactly the opposite The intermingling of Bnai Ketura with Bnai Yishmael obligates the entire group . (In partial defense[not really!]I was thinking of the Minchas Chinuch who does indeed suggest  that the intermingling should exempt the group rather than obligate it but that is not Rambam,s view). I apologize for the error .Bivracha ,YBreitowitz
