Avram tells Sarai12,13" please say you are my sister so they'll be good to me(Rashi-give me presents)for your sake and let me live because of you"Why is the first thing Avram tells her"I'll get presents"?Forget that,the main thing is"I'm gonna live"!

Lech Lecha

Tanchuma-Vayeira3-Before Avraham got a Bris he asked three friends if he should and two of them said no. Why'd Avraham ask them what to do? If Hashem said he must get a Bris,he must! Also,what's the point of asking them if didn't follow their consensus anyway?

Why'd Avram take money from Pharaoh(12,16)but refuse to take money from Melech Sedom(14,22-23)so he won't say he made Avram rich? Why are they any different?

Avraham kept the whole Torah so why'd he give himself a Bris on Yom Kippur(Kli Yakar17,26).Its only Mutar to do that(Shabas132a)if its the 8th day?

Noach

If(6,11Rashi)Dor HaMabul was doing Avoda Zara&Znus,why was the(6,13Rashi)Gzar Din only for Gezel?Others are much worse!

Noach

Why does the Torah repeat Noach had 3 sons named Hem, Cham, and Yefes in 6,10 if just said that 11 pesukim earlier in 5,32?

Noach

Noach spent 120yrs. building the Teiva(Rashi6,14)so what does Rashi7,7mean Noach didn't believe the Mabul would come? Clearly he did if he spent so long building the Teiva!

Noach

9,5-Rashi-Hashem gives an Isur Lav2animals that can't kill Humans. A-Animals don't have bechira? B-What's the point of giving them a Lav?

Beraishis

Why repeat in1,29that all fruits&vegis have seeds if already in1,11?Also,if neccessary, why say it by only ppl&not by animals in1,30?

Beraishis

How could Earth not listen2 Hashem to make the tree taste like fruit(Braishis1,11-Rashi)?It wasn't given Bechira?

Beraishis

In honor of new year, I'm starting sending kashas again. For now it will generally just be a forwarding of the text message.

Braishis1,1-Rashi-Reason Torah doesn't start from"Hachodesh"(Shemos12,1)is so we can explain why got Israel when Goyim protest.But90%won't help4that at all?Also why would they listen2Torah that bc H'created,can give2whoever?
