Ingathering and Justice: In this class we cover the next two blessings of the Amida — ingathering of the exiles and establishing courts and justice

We attempt to answer these and other questions:

* If the prayers were established by the Men of the Great Assembly at the beginning of the Second Temple period, why did they ask for ingathering of exiles?
* We already asked for redemption in an earlier blessing. Why do we repeat it?
* Why do we ask for God to rule over us alone? Do we not want a king or mashiach?
* If we want God to rule over us, why do we need judges?
* Why does the prayer say, “Remove sorrow and sighing from us”?

This week we will continue to learn about how contracts were written. We will see that certain areas of the document can have blank spaces whereas other areas cannot. We will also learn how we interpret discrepancies in the document as well.

Prosperity: In this class we discuss the following issues:
* Why our prayers for rain are based on the agricultural cycle of ancient Iraq.
* How we ended up with December 5th outside Israel.
* What do people in the southern hemisphere do?
* Why do people in Israel still wait two weeks, when there are no longer thousands of people who have to return on foot to Babylon after visiting the Temple for the festival?
* And what should we do it we do not need rain from December 5 until Pesach?

This week, we will learn that if a father and a son die around the same time and we don’t know who died first, we split the estate between both their heirs or the estate remains in the possession of whoever had it at the time of death. The same is true for a husband and wife and a man and his mother. We will then begin the last chapter of Baba Batra by learning about two different types of documents.

Refuah: This class is about the blessing of healing, in the Shemoneh Esrei (Amida).

In it, I attempt to answer some of the following questions:

* If it is God’s will that someone should be ill, why pray for God to heal them?
* Is this prayer for everyone, for myself or for specific people?
* Why do we mention the mother’s name when praying for the sick?
* How sick must someone be before we should pray for them?
* Should we pray for someone on their deathbed to recover? What if they signed a DNR?
* If we believe that prayer is effective, is there any need to go to a doctor?
* If prayer is effective, why did the Talmud give cures for certain diseases?

This week we will learn that is a person is on their deathbed, and they give away all their possessions, if they recover, they can retract the gift they gave. But if they retained ownership of some of their estate, the gift is permanent and can't be retracted even if the person recovers.

This week, we will learn that when a father dies and leaves older sons and younger sons, they split the estate’s gain. If they want, they can divide the estate at the beginning, and then each son keeps his own gain. We will also learn about the concept of Shushvinut (like a groomsman), when a friend of the groom brings a gift to the wedding, the groom is obligated to reciprocate the gift at the friend’s wedding.
