Thank you, Rav Bitton, for all of your classes, that are so educational, helpful and important.

You present them slowly and clearly with lightness that makes one curious to know more. Perhaps that is the goal of all education.

Privacy Our privacy will never be protected. Torah is following instructions as to privacy is to obey owns privacy. In other words, our society will never change for its corruptions, we can change to educate to spread our wisdom by sharing our spirituality with the teachings of Torah. Privacy concerns will continue, invasion of privacy is against the law as to Torah is against biblical laws.

Thank you for sharing and educating. Reply

Employee rights This is not perhaps a comment as much as a request to have as much information about or direction to take concerning employee rights at my job.

Thank you Reply
