00:00 - Why do people value certain mitzvos more than others?
03:55 - Some people say that they do not engage with the state since it was founded by anti-religious people. Could they not accept that we have precedent that things of lowly origin can be elevated, for example, Dovid HaMelech?

19:05 - Are there some foods that are less treif than others?

01:13:55 - How can a bachur balance learning and chesed?
01:15:55 - It says in the Chovos Levavos that someone who believes in chance is treated as such. Why is this so? Would it also apply to belief in a cruel G-d?
