* Are we doing all we can to empower women today?
* How does someone know what he’s capable of?
* If one’s “containers” are not aligned with their spiritual “light” (due to a chemical imbalance, as an example), can the container be trained to regulate and adjust itself to its spiritual capacity?
* Is there a difference how one would treat depression in a Jew and in a non-Jew?
* What can I do about same-gender attraction?
Follow-up (episodes 235-237):

Chassidus question: What can we learn from Yosef’s mistake by relying on the butler to mention him to Pharaoh, instead of just trusting Hashem? Aren’t we supposed to make a vessel for G-d’s blessings?
