Ask JTF For November 12 Broadcast
MasterWolf1:
Dear Chaim,
I'd like to thank you for answering me once again and my question to you is. Not long ago I had a discussion with an aquantence and the issues of blacks came to the discussion and I basically said " What do we owe them really? None of us owned a slave, my anscestors weren't even on this side of the world when slavery took place." And thats what I am asking you what do we really owe them besides nothing even though we pay so much in our taxes for these programs for blacks and thats not good enough for them. And to go with high crime in Negro neighborhoods and drugs and hookers and pimps. And this person I was speaking to about this said to me "Isn't this a rather racist way of thinking". And this individual is white like I am infact he is Irish and I am Italian. When will our white brothers and sisters both Jew and Christian will come out of the fog they are in that speaking the truth is not about racism. So I am asking you how do you put up with this when you come across something like this? Doesn't matter if its about blacks or even the Muslim swines?

This week instead of a question allow me to make
an important "technical" Remarque about JTF's audio files.
I'll get right to the point.
I think it is a mistake to encode the JTF audio files in real media.
the main problem with the "real" format
is the fact that it has rules of it's own.
unlike an mp3 or a wma file,
a real audio file can not be played in any player other than the "real player".
this denies visitors from hearing JTF shows in public or limited access computers,
adding your shows as podcasts that are weekly updated into ipods,
or simply "grabbing" them "on the go" into today's popular portable players.
plus I think a lot of people avoid
downloading unnecessary software,
so in conclusion I would strongly advice
to whomever is in charge of encoding the JTF audio files,
to make them either as mp3's or wma's,
which are both windows media friendly,
and can be compressed and streamed just as good as "real audio" files.
I'm sure this will increase ratings,
which is ultimately our common goal here.
best wishes,
Oz.
Yacov Menashe adds: Making the JTF files into MP3's or WMA's would make the files too large. Therefore, they would take too long to download (Espeically on slow old computers.) and take up too much memory, especially Ask JTF.
Yaacov, I have to strongly disagree with you here,
this is absolutely wrong, you can control the amount of file size and compression,
by decreasing bitrate etc.. thuse make the files the same size as real media files.
real media IS NOT a popular format and CAN NOT be used in any way
or even be converted to other formats without downloading/buying realmedia products.
this format is obsolete and it's time to change it.

I think this is slightly different to a related question you had recently:
Was HaRav Binyamin Zev Kahane H”yd and his wife, killed for any other reason then he was a Jew in late 2000?
AND: What is ‘with’ their 5 or 6 beautiful, sweet children – orphans — left behind?

Dear Chaim:
What do you think of the Three Stooges?

Hello Chaim. I'm writing you first to say thankyou for answering my question about the Sephardic/Spanish Jews. You explained it very well. So basically I understand now that it's not that the Spanish Jews are called Sephardic because of someone else going there but because that is what Spain is. The rest of the Sephardic Jews are immitating the ones from Spain and according to traditional interpretation they follow the Sephardic Tradition therefore are Sephardic. But according to other interpretations, the fact that they are also Sephardic may be in question now because they are looking for they're own identitiy. Ok!
I want to say when I mentioned that my mother's family were Jews who left Europe for South America during WW2 you said that it made me a Jew as well and that in light of that I should have served in IDF instead of the Marines here. I think however although I understand that by your standards being Jewish and following the Torah that makes me a Jew. But my grandparents were people who for better or for worse assimilated and they're kids being my mother and aunts and uncles grew up more Catholic than anything and around Catholics and went to Catholic schools. I was also raised a Catholic and was baptized one and I've never had a Barmitzvah or anything like that. The only Hebrew classes I've ever had if you can call them that are listening to you every week on the show. My father is as Gentile as Gentile can get. He's from a part of Northern Spain called Galicia where the original Celtic Gaels are from that inhabited Ireland and brought with them the Gaelic language. In Ireland they are called the Black Irish. If you have know idea who the Celts were just think of the movie Braveheart. My father is a Catholic too. I grew up a Gentile. And I feel that this is my home and I'm always going to be in America and an American and my first loyalty will always be America and the Gentile White Race. My wife is also a Gentile from Kansas and if we ever have kids they will be Gentiles. I'm not saying this to give you an impression that I was offended or anything but just to clarify who I am and what I'm all about. I don't want you to have an impression of me that is not accurate. In fact I'll even go as far as saying because I will not be politically correct that the only Jews I like are Kahanist Jews because you are not insane America haters. I can't really say that most of the time. I see Judaism as another Middle Eastern Religion that I don't believe in and throughout history it has always been the Rich Left Wing Jews through various political and economic manipulation and the Hordse of Blacks and 3rd world people that have brought down great European Civilizations such as Rome and now America. Thank God there are people like JTF because you've opened my eyes to alot of what's wrong with America and Israel and the World.
Let me also say that I am a very good scholar of Islam. I took Islamic courses at Mosques here in America and College and also 10 years of independent study. I can read in Arabic. I was also a translator while I was over seas and got paid for it. If you ever need any facts or info or if I can be of any help in any way as far as information please contact me @ [email protected] I know stuff from the Quran and Hadith and I've gotten into arguments with all sorts of people that have wanted to kill me! I know my stuff basically. Incedently I think it would be no problem for me to learn Hebrew it might be the next language I take up.
Ok Ok Ok.....question time! I'll always try to ask good questions so I don't just waste your time. You described a German and a Spanish tradition to the way Jews do things. How similar is that to divisions between Muslims. Is it liken to that of "Madh-abs" or schools of thought such as that of Hanbal or Wahab with in the Sunna of the Muslims or is it like to that of Sunnis and Shiites. I know Muslims copied alot of things that Jews do things because of Muhammeds lack of creativity and miracles and such. These different groups within the Muslims pray differently and do certain other things differently and this is the only thing I can compare it to.
Incedently I think you're a really funny guy and I like the way you express yourself. You're quite a character and you provide some sane and intelligent insight for me when all other media is spun in a different direction that is cockameyme!
So in your words.......
Peace!
