Great subject
One of my biggest regrets is that I did not marry Jewish. I'm like so many who were raised by secular/reformed Jews.

Sorry but Esther was not the mother of Cyrus The Great...Actually Cyrus was jewish because he had a jewish mom but Esther was NOT his mother. Esther married to Cyrus's grandson (from cyrus's daughter). If it's right then King David can't be jewish! His grandmother was Ruth the Moabites & great great grandmother was Rahaab the prostitute.....If a person converts to judaism he/she is jewish.

I live in Efrat and regularly listen to your shiurim. Would have liked to attend your shiur or invite you to give a shiur here in Efrat. Also have some questions regarding this shiur I would like to ask you.

Courageous
This is a controversial subject that you have presented in a powerful way on an important day. Most of us aren't thinking about bringing Moshiach when we are attracted to another human being, we are simply following our instincts. We are not concerned about G-d's opinions, we're too busy with our own. I hope you distribute the audio portion of this talk to schools for young people to hear. It was a very courageous presentation. Thank you, Rabbi.

i can remember a time when i was laughed at for trying to keep Shabbat. The secular world told me i was crazy to try convert to be a Jew.They told me i could never do it and now i am getting even closer to my Jewish self. This is the will of Hashem and He has told all Jews through out time as they sat in the desert watching the sand whisk by them. We must do the impossible as human beings as Jews as ex samples of the presents of Hashem. The one thing we should want for our children is the mothers identity and understanding for all YIsrael. i have come to far to stop.... to remember what could be.
