What puzzles me about Parshat Behar is what happens to the non-Jewish slave that converts and become a MOT.  Does his slaves status change?  Can his owner prevent him from becoming a Jew as that would then change him from a slave to an indentured servant?

On a different note, my challah for the week were the # 7 and a shekel, however no one recognized the # 7 as such and they thought the shekel was a flying saucer.  I don't recall a flying saucer in either of this weeks Parshot.

And finally, reading the Chapter of Manna daily has really helped my Parnasah!  Several etsy sales (finally), a couple ketubot and a new bookkeeping client!

Almost every Shabbat, when I read the Parsha, I have questions that are not asked by Rashi or "Rav" Artscroll. Despite 12 years of Jewish Day Schools, some how my sons "never learned this Parsha" and when I have posed some of these questions to my Lor (local Orthodox Rabbi", the response has been "good questions. I don't have reliable answers to them, tho I can make stuff up". 


 For example:


1- All of Bnai Israel was called to stand before the פתח of the אוהל מועד- except for those in the first few rows, how were all these people suppose to see or hear anything?  

2- If all they were eating during the 40 years was manna, then they didn't have any chumetz at all, so Pesach wasn't a big deal.  And what did they make matza from?  This was the desert- no wheat.  Matza from manna?

Yesterday (Parshat Emor) I asked at the Shabbat table- the divorced daughter of a Kohen with kids who was married to a Levite or Israelite- what happens to her?  Artscroll says she maintains ties with her husbands family.  Sure, that's going to work out great for her - NOT.  And she can't go home to Mom and Dad and eat at their table.  So what happens to her?  

My husband suggested a write a blog poising these questions and maybe I will get some "not made up" answers.

Anyone out there have some answers fro me?
