In part two of this important topic, Rabbi Schonfeld and Rabbi Garfield continue their discussion about gemara with Rav Aaron Lopiansky. How do you reconcile the Torah's view of the age of the world with the theories that the scientific community suggest? How should we be teaching children that eisav soneh Yaakov practically, when they might have regular interactions with the umos haolam? And the BIG QUESTION: How do we relay to boys who are struggling with gemara that they are as equally as important as the metzuyanim?  
Rabbi Ari Schonfeld and Rabbi Yerachmiel Garfield

On our first ever episode, Rabbi Schonfeld and Rabbi Garfield discuss the burning questions parents have about raising their children. Is there any validity to the opinion that forcing middle school boys to go to shul on Shabbos is the way to go? When your child reports "facts" that don't line up with that the teacher says, who do you believe? And the BIG QUESTION: Is it possible my son is not cut out for Gemara?

We like to grill on low heat at first, with the top closed, to ensure the meat isn’t raw in the middle. Then I raise the heat, open the top, and broil or grill on high to get that crispy outside sear we all love.

I always try to have a fresh fruit salad prepared in the fridge for Shabbos or Yom Tov afternoons, when everyone is looking for something to snack on. It’s light and refreshing and definitely a healthier alternative to cakes and cookies.
