Ask JTF For August 27 Broadcast

admin:
Thank you for answering my question about Allah. Why then did you say "G-d will bless you for donating to JTF, Allah won't, but G-d will."? I also recall reading about Allah and his pagan lunar temple at The Kaaba in Mecca on JTF in 2002.

I would also like to say that someone posted the below on the old forum. I also asked Tamar Yonah to have you on her show. I asked her on Arutz 7's Virtual Studio and in person when I went to Arutz 7's studio in Bet El last month. She said she would like to have you on if you contact her to say what you want to talk about.


--- Quote --- Shalom, A few times I had been in contact with Tamar Yonah from Israel National Radio about interviewing Chaim about JTF or any other topic he should wish. She asked me for your phone number/email or have him contact her for this purpose. Secondly, Since I was not there so do not know to be true or not, my friend Larry, one of Rav. Kahane's former body guards, says hello. In his opinion the post about Irv Rubin is not true that he was a real stand up guy and a patriot for Israel and the Jewish People. He said that Rabbi Kahane was very close to him and his family as was Irv Rubin. Perhaps just a difference of opinion but wishes you well. No need to read this on air, just wanted to make contact re: Tamar Yonah. Zei gezunt un shtark! Jer

Daniel:
Shalom Chaim, and thank you so much for providing us with your responses to our questions every week in such an informative and respectable way. I was pleasantly surprised and extremely pleased when you mentioned last week that you welcome secular Jews. Until this point, I felt the need to remain in the closet about this. But now I feel I can freely admit to you that I am a secular Jew, and although I know you prefer religious Jews, I feel very relieved that you welcome secular Jews as well. While we're on this topic, may I also take this opportunity to confess that I was raised with liberal values and beliefs and have always considered myself a liberal as well (although I find myself progressively moving farther to the right on certain issues, especially on Israel and immigration. Perhaps I'm starting to see the light). I'm also pleased to see that while we might be on opposite ends of the political spectrum, I do recognize that we do agree on certain issues, especially on the War in Iraq, energy independence, and the evilness and greed of multinational corporations. So my question to you is that even though we may be on opposite ends of the political spectrum, do you recognize and agree that there at least some issues that liberals and conservatives can share common ground on and that it would be beneficial for us to have open dialogues and form alliances on the issues that we do agree on? Thanks so much?

Daniel

P.S. Chaim, Please feel free to use my Hebrew name when referring to me. Although most people call me by my American name, next to being called up for aliyah and having my Israeli cousins call me by my Hebrew name, I consider it a real honor for you to call me by my Hebrew name as well and find it quite flattering. So please, feel free! Toda raba!

Maimonides:
Shalom Chaim and thank you as always for answering my questions.

Just to correct you from last week George Allen's mother is actually a Sephardic Jew from Tunisia, but nontheless he is a phony conservative as you correctly state.

My question this week is do you think Menachem Begin when he was leader of the Irgun made the right decision not to fight back against the Haganah and the Jewish Agency during the Hunting Season because he feared a Jewish Civil War? It appeared that a Jewish Civil War had already begun and it were the treacherous self-hating Jews that were doing all the fighting. I know Jews are not suppose to fight with other Jews but would that have not been self-defense?

Shlomo:
Dear Chaim,

I was only curious... how close were you to Rabbi Meir Kahane?

kahaneloyalist:
Dear Chaim,
       Thank you for answering my question last week. What I am asking now takes some back story so please bear with me. There is a blog hearoisrael.blogspot.com run by a former secular kahanist, in the last two years he has gone bad. I mean real bad. To sum up what he has done, he now has a blog with a Arab, who openly calls for the destruction of Israel, and yet Greg (the former secular kahanist) defends and likes her. He hates Sephardim especialy the religious ones, though he rather likes Arabs. He has spit upon the name of Rav Kahane zt'l repeatedly on his sickening blog. He loves Democracy and considers even the mention of expulsion racism. My question is what is to be done with people like him? They are Jews but they fight against Jews and everything Jewish.
