The following are actual questions we received at "Ask
the Rabbi" that, well, we just didn't quite know how to answer...

Shalom. In order to complete a text I need some missing words
in Hebrew. My dictionary doesn't have them. Could you spell
the following words in Hebrew (using Latin letters, as my e-mail
program does have Hebrew)? The words I need spelled are: Globalization,
New Age, International Monetary Fund, New World Order, Neo-liberalism,
Internet, Wide World Web, computer, Rome, World Bank, Bar Code,
William Henry Gates III, Bill Gates, Brussels. Sorry for the
inconvenience but I have no one else to help me on this matter.
Ciao!

I have a few questions: When it's the New Year, Jewish people
eat apple in honey; do you have a recipe? Do men help cleaning
the house when it's Easter? Who is Haman? How does his head
look like?

And here are some we didn't know how to answer, but we did
anyway...

Does television have any educational value?
Dear Name@Withheld,
I must say that I personally find television very educational.
The minute somebody turns on the television, I go to the library
and read a book.

Dear Rabbi,
What is "Cole's Law"?
Dear Name@Withheld,
Thinly sliced cabbage with mayonnaise.

Dear Rabbi,
I would like to thank you for using the letters "Shabbat"
to spell Shabbat. I enjoy reading many Jewish books in English
but the one thing that always bothers me is Shabbat spelled "Shabbos."
While that may be the pronunciation of many English-speaking
Jewish people, they don't write tzedaka as "tzdukuh."
Thank you.
Dear Name@Withheld,
Yer welkum! Yasher Koiach!.
