00:00 Questions 04:30 If God has unconditional love for us, then why are there so many conditions? Why did God not just create a world that was purely good? How do we know that there is an afterlife?

25:41 What if being observant interferes with our career and life goals? If all Jews kept halacha would there be less contributions to medicine, science etc? The contribution of Judaism and the Jewish people to the world.

41:15 The Jewish approach to IVF and surrogacy.
