I should add that there are those who study how each thing affects the world - that is the study of Kabbala. But you don't need to know it to accept the idea, just as you don't need to know how a machine works in order to use it

Before asking why the loopholes are there you should ask why the laws are there, then you can ask how the loopholes fit into that purpose. Speaking as an Orthodox Jew - We believe the laws are there because particular actions affect the u

I had a manager do this to me once. In a situation where I knew for sure he was joking. I was top of the department, and it wasn't even in the context of having done anything wrong. He had just been given some new responsibilities, a
