comment Does the Torah discuss aliens?
@yaakovrowland, I think you misunderstand the point. Verse 20: "From heaven they fought; the stars from their courses fought against Sisera." This is the context where Meroz is a star.

comment Why didn't Eliezer go straight to Avraham's family?
@MonicaCellio, I guess it depends on how you understand the motivation. Just to avoid Canan's children? Cham's children (he refused Eliezar's daughter for that reason)? Children of Shem only? Or did it have to do with Terach repudiating Avoda Zara later in life? Given Rashi's comment that he was specifically motivated by Rivkah's birth, seems like he was looking for her specifically.

comment Dried insects - permissible?
The MK's newsletter article is written by Rabbi Blech, so it is really the same source.

comment Apple on Rosh HaShanah
@DoubleAA, but it could be a custom to use something called a תפוח, and the one available at that time of year.
