Question: Hello, I was never a religeous man until this one incident changed my life. I was walking to my friends house on the sabbath and i was hit by a car. I survived after 5 months in the ICU. I realized g-d saved me and now I realize what you are always talking about. Will the torah be sweet like an apple for an unreligeous jew like me just getting into it or will it be spicy like an onion because i am not knowledgeable in its field.
Answer: The talmud teaches us that for the Baal Teshuva the Torah is much sweeter then he who knew it his entire life. You should know that the sides of impurity pleading to make it hard for you to know Hashem so you left. Should you break this and return, nothing will stop you, not man, not angel and you will fly to heights in Judaism that are beyond your imagination. I should only know such sweetness that lyes before you!

Question: Please advise me of the meaning of flowers at a gravesite..and why is it so wrong to place them at a jewish cemetery.
Answer: It is not a Jewish custom and is done by non-Jews and it is a Jewish law not to copy other religions practices. If we did, we would assimilate into them slowly.

Question: Dear Reb Moishe,I live in Florida with my mom. May she live and be well. She is ill now. I pray for her recovery always. I am a 47 single guy never married. I was zoche to be with rabbi Mordahai Sharabi the riteous , bless his memory.It is not easy at this time in my life.I believe in G-d, and love g-d very much, however , I am in the goyishe velt of Florida, What can more can I say? My mother's name is Dvora bas Leah, my name is Yizhak Isaac ben Dvorah, May we hear good tidings..
Answer: Hashem said that He would disperse Jews to every corner of the world. This is our punishment for not being more unified and following the Torah. If Hashem didnt' think we could still serve Him in Florida, He would not have created the State. Hashem can be found everywhere. A person can serve Him everyone and follow all the commandments. It may be more difficult but His Presence can be found non-the-less. Especially today with so much Torah availalbe online and in books. I bless you to find Him and make His name great.

Question: What should I do to prepare myself for aliyah to Israel?
Answer: If you are even remotely considering one day making aliyah to Israel. Please begin studying the language now. Do not wait. The most difficult thing for most Americans making a successful transition is the language barrier. Also, start eating more spicy foods, pita bread, bland foods, chumas and techina. Next is personality, toughen yourself up a bit. Become a sparring partner for the local boxing gym. You have to be able to speak up for yourself well and never back down. Israelis are much more stable then Americans
