Shalom Kavod HaRav Yaron Reuven! B'H for this app and todah rabah for giving us your time. Many blessing to you, the Rebbanite, and your entire family for all the sacrifices you guys make. I can't even begin to describe how much your Torah has changed our lives.🙏 I have a couple of questions and will try to make it short while giving you a bit of background/info. Baruch HaShem my entire family is in the process of conversion right now. My boys are all very inquisitive and so intrigued by the mystical part of Judaism. They love to study, read, and learn Chumash, mussar books, etc. for about 4 hours daily and they listens to all your shiurs and videos Baruch HaShem for the last 3+ years or so. They have learned much from you, we homeschool so they have the ability to focus on Torah most of the day. The other night as I went to say goodnight to my 12 year old, I realized he had sifted baking soda all around his bed onto the tile floor because he said he wanted to see the chicken foot prints from the creatures that come around at night. Of course I cleaned up the baking soda and discouraged his investigation into this mystical world that he is so intrigued by. My question is what is your advice on doing this, should he have tried to see these chicken foot prints, what would you tell him? Also, several family members in the home including myself have seen things like beings, spirits or creatures around the house during the day and at night, not sure really what they are? We have seen these things in our previous home and this current one as well. We have nothing in the home that is connected to idolatry, we have even gotten rid of family pictures with pagan Holiday connections. The last incident a family member was alone in the dining room at night and saw what looked like small, tiny people/creatures coming into the home from the sliding glass door and walking across the room into the kitchen, they ignored the creatures and the creatures also seemed to ignore them, but is was a bit alarming to say the least. They tried really hard not to show any fear. Why does this happen, is it normal, and how do I comfort family members that are afraid of these events that happen to them? Thank you again Rabbi!! From your students. 🤍
