It's getting really close to Yom Tov by me, so I wish that this year the Torah will flow, people will be healed, we will have plenty to eat, and Mashiach should come, Amen!

How did Shabbes Goy happen? 4th Commandment says neither thou nor thy wife, nor thy ox nor thy ass, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant nor the stranger that is within thy gates

Do they say Harry the Goy ain't a stranger, he lives next door?

I am not sure what you mean by the "story" of Akdamut. It was written by a Rabbi in Germany awhile back. For reference, here are the lyrics: https://www.sefaria.org/Akdamut_Milin.1?lang=bi. This choral arrangement is the only version I could fing online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdYeuYlhB1s.

According to Jewish law, a Jew should not teach the Torah to a non-jew unless that person is willing to become a ger.

Reason? I don't know, but I could guess:

1. The person has some connections with the government, and if he hears something he doesn't like he'll go to the Lord and tell him to kill Jews Chash Vesholem

2. Torah is pure, so can only be learned by Jews? i'm not sure about this one, probably the first answer.
