Dear Chaim,
Will the denomination numbers of Israeli paper money change when we take power? Currently there are 20, 50, 100, and 200 shekel bills. Would the 1 shekel, 5 shekel, or 10 shekel coins be made back into paper money? Also, Israel is getting a new 2 shekel coin.
Or would all of Israel's money be made into coins and be backed by gold?

Chaim: Can an American Jew salute the US flag and say The Pledge of Allegiance and sing The Star Spangled Banner without being in violation of any of the tenets of true Torah Judaism?
-
Yacov Menashe asked me to post this. These are just short yes or no questions so he requests that you answer all of them.
Do you consider Georgians to be racially Caucasian?
Do you consider Muslim countries in Europe such as Bosnia to be part of Western Civilization? Do you consider Bosnian Muslims to be Westerners? I ask because they are in Europe, yet Muslim at the same time.

Shalom Chaim
I am pleased and inspired by the recent youtube success of the 'Why are Muslims So Violent?' video. G-d willing we will build on this. You and David are causing quite a stir. What's especially interesting is that average youtube posters are beginning to get exposed to us instead of just the usual Nazi, Muslim and self-hating Jewish drek.
Onto the question for this week...Is it a chillul Hashem to pray for things that are mundane or that solely pertain to one's self-interest (for example: succeeding at a job interview or hoping for academic success)?
Thank you as always

Chaim, what do you think about Rachel Corrie? Do you think that she's mainly responsible for what happened to herself or is ISM the main culprit here for duping and brainwashing her?

Dear Chaim
This is not a question, it is a joke I would appreciate if you read out on air fully. I think you'll like it and perhaps it will inspire you to continue with your hilarious stories ;D
The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, while visiting a primary school class, found themselves in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked both men if they would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy". So the illustrious Rev Jackson asks the class for an example of a "tragedy".
One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy." No," says the Great Jesse Jackson, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." I'm afraid not," explains the exalted Reverend Al. "That's what we would call a great loss. " The room goes silent. No other children volunteered.
Reverend Al searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the room little Johnny raises
his hand. In a stern voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that
would be a tragedy." Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson and Sharpton, "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," says little Johnny, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either!!!

Firstly let me take this time to say that i am new to the forum and i thank you chaim for establishing this organization that fights for humanity at large... i am personally very grateful that you have given us a chance to field questions of our concerns and queries to better this brilliant organization and what it stands for....
I was thinking that JTF could make a full scale documentary similar to Michael Moore's production and about life in Israel and your truly heroic story... I believe this would help the organization in a number of ways.... firstly JTF will be better financially funded in the future as the documentaries would be popular (especially amongst the audience in Israel)... the other advantages would be spreading the message about JTF to become a mass movement and being able to join other major organizations in an alliance to free israel from the arab Nazis.... this could also be used to pressure the weak Israeli government and prevent them from giving up land to the PLO terrorists...
Many thanks and warmest regards...

Hello Chaim,
What's your opinion about white slave owners raping black female slaves? Was rape as common place as we've been led to believe? Don't you think the most likely scenario then was a handful of attractive black female slaves offering sex to the white slave owners in exchange for preferential treatment? Thanks, Allen
PS, I have started taking lessons in Krav Maga, the Israeli Combat Karate. You've motivated me, brother!!

Shalom Chaim thank you for answering our questions and reading our comments each week and thank you for your wonderful explanation of Joseph and Judah and Jewish women in the Torah.
I enjoyed all of the youtube videos you and David had done recently. However, I felt uncomfortable watching the illegal alien video (I know that I am the minority with this opinion on the forum. And by the way, I'm only referring to the illegal alien video..just a criticism i want to make). It wasn't the message which bothered me. It was the way the message was delivered and, to me, made the both of you sound a little bit like white supremecists (Gd forbid!!). I know this isn't who you are and what this movement is about. However, lay people in this country and abroad, who are unknowingly more left winged than us (which resulted from the brainwashing by the current news media), who have never heard of jtf and can benefit from Torah Judaism/Kahanist ideology will get turned off and unfortunately, people who are true evil racists will get turned on to this movement and pervert its good name. I personally think it will only take truely righteous yet rational people to carry on and spread the amazing ideas that Torah Judaism/Kahanism offers..not the crazies who wish to prostelatyze about it and spread what sounds like blunt racial hatred, which you despise and teach all of to despise.
Anyway, you Chaim, are, after all, Chaim, and I guess the way you do these programs is what makes you stand apart from the rest. Without compromising THE WAY YOU DELIVER your message, what can be done to enlighten non-extremists to our cause to become a mass ideological and fast acting movement without sounding like missionaries and/or kookooheads?
Thank you.
(just saw your video about the candidates and illegal immigration and you did add a disclaimer that jtf was not a racist organization, etc...thank you)

Hello Chaim,
(Hopefully I'm not too late with this question)
I really am curious to ask it though:
was David Ben Moshe in JDL's
famous "Chaya" elite team? or something similar?
It looks like he was a very powerful looking young man back at those days.
thanks

Dear Chaim,
What a question this week: I gave a Chareidi radio show host a tape of you JTF show – he wants me to put this to you. I don’t like debating with him as he shouts and doesn’t let you speak.
He argues that your solutions to Jew-hate are wrong – Jews are always hated above others – be they rich and successful or poor. Why you don’t mention the reasons for this and the Alm-ghty where G-d watched us and took us out from Egypt – but allowed such horrible things to occur.
Shalom and Thank you.
-
Dear Chaim,
I think I have a solution to your time crunch vs. you writing a book about the Rav and JDL. You create a outline of a potential book the chapters that should be in the book, and the subjects in each chapter, this shouldnt take too long. Then go into the recording studio and simply talk about each point from the outline, after you have done this give the recordings to a ghost writer who can put the book together. You can also post the recording online, that is why I want you to go into a recording studio and make very high quality recordings.

Hi Chaim, thanks for the kind words last week. I am signed up for some hebrew course in Queens college that is worth 4 credits, lets hope that helps. I don't think I will be able to move to Israel until I am completely done with all my schooling and completely self sufficient. My mother is a jew who was born in hungary and is not zionistic at all. When a friend of mine who lives a few houses down went to the IDF last month, my mother thought it was a crazy Idea. The hungarian jews have no fealings whatsoever for Israel. She doesn't like muslims but yet has no fealings for Israel at all. So I don't think I can go to Israel until I am all done with college and any graduate school I may attend. What do you think Chaim?

Hello Chaim, my brother or as in Italian we say, my fratello and honorary PAISON.
Well I saw again the Democrat debate and I am waiting for the Republicans to have their debate. And after what I saw from the Dems we better hope to God that the GOP wins this, 1 candidate out of 8 said to only make English the only language of the U.S. and the top 3 Dem candidates mention "DIALOGUE WITH IRAN AND ISRAEL AND ARAB SO CALLED PEACE TALKS". The 3 top is Hillary, Bongo Obama and Joanne Edwards. ( I call it Joanne cause well the individual is a bit too much of a twinkle toes). I think Rudy is the only chance of beating these guys. Looks like we got no alternative.
-
Chaim,
How come you don't ask JTFers to visit your videos on Flix?
In addition to that, if you could post Hebrew-to-English instructions to register there, and moreover sample comments in Hebrew, so everyone could post them, I think it would be fantastic.
Obviously, I am not asking you how hard is it to put English subtitles there.
-
Hi chaim, keep up the great vids.
As a right wing christian i personally think that islam is prophesised to be inspired from satan in both old covenant and new, do you agree also in the torah that islam is prophesied and if so where.
Thanks

Shalom Chaim and Thank you as always for your hard work and answering my questions?
What is your opinion of Kashrut laws applying to the working condition of where kosher food comes from. I heard several Reform Rabbis state that Kashrut also means that the workers have to be treated justly, and that their efforts to see this is done have gotten many liberal secular Jews to start keeping kosher.
In you expert opinion do Kashrut laws have any implications on how workers are treated in the process of making food kosher?
And is it good that these Reform Rabbis are getting secular Jews to buy Kosher even if it maybe for secular reasons?
-
Dear Chaim,
Rav Sa'adya Gaon in his writings and in the writings of Rabbi Donash Ibn Tamim and in the writings of Rabbi Yaakov Emden state quite clearly the proper way to pronounce Hebrew.
Do you support and would a kahanist government support the return to the proper way of pronouncing Hebrew according to these Torah sources?
-
Hey Chaim!
Chaim, have you ever encountered any Jewish or Torah speculation about the Bermuda Triangle or its mysteries? If not what do you make of this natural phenomena?
Chaim, i don't mean to be disrespectful but i find you quite narrow minded sometimes and i guess its natural for you because you have your mind wrapped around one goal and one way of life, that of JTF and Judaism. However sometimes you repress your views and the become encirculated around the "rules" of JTF, whereas they should apply differently to different people, simply because people are different!e.g your talk on political figures and commuities in general, disregarding even the racial aspect of things.
Thank You.

Dear Chaim:
I haven't heard much of Noam Federman lately. Why is this?

Have you heard of the other Anne Frank: Rutka Laskier?
She saw soilders throwing people into ovens and crushing the skulls of children.
Laskier was later fried her self.

Dear Chaim, Great new video on illegal aliens on youtube. Is the Yeshu mentioned in the Talmud Jesus or is Jesus mentioned in the Talmud at all? Keep up the good work~

Hi, Chaim,
My question is about the population explosion. While I strongly support unlimited Jewish procreation, I am very concerned about the total procreation rate of the world's population and the drain on the Earth's limited resources that this would cause. In some places, the population will double in just 50 years. What are your views on birth control? If you are against birth control, what, do you think, is G-d's plan of rescuing the environment strained by overpopulation? Thank you.

By watching your wonderful youtube videos, it became painfully clear to me that a future prime minister of Israel has no sense of fashion. You have to hone this skill! Rabbi Kahane, from what I see, was always a sharp dresser and looked the part no matter what the audience - leftist students or Night Line.
You don't have to wear a tie - Chaim, I wish you to become a PM and I want you to look sharp! This is a no small matter.
-
Dear Chaim I have heard few things in your video that you support racial seregation and think the civil rights movement was a disater, it concerns me being a dark skined Jew, since the time in South not only Blacks were seregated but even people of European decent usually Southern Europeans like Italians. Chaim belives the civil right movement is wrong, and it should have not been passed. Many dark skined people were seregrated in the South, not only Blacks, even Southern Italians were seregated at time. Also many of the Mizrachim would have been treated no different than Blacks, because of their dark skin, I was horroifed to be honest that you support seregation? Iam not being rude, but iam asking whats your opinion on the subject thanks!

What do you think of Puerto Rico being US territory? There is always debate of them becoming the 51st state. Spanish is the language of Puerto Rico. They don't pay federal taxes but receive some federal funds.
-
Dear Chaim,
Would you consider taking 3 of the best YouTube videos, combining them, and showing that as one of your television programs? Perhaps one show could be a rerun and one could be newer material this way.
Just thought I'd throw that idea out there. I really love the new YouTube videos.
Shalom!

Dear Chaim,
Shalom Chaim. My question for you today is about the Bilderberg Group. What do you know about this group of evil people?? Toda Achi!
-
dear chaim,
Jordan, Sinai, Parts of lebanon, are parts of biblical Israel, So would it be wrong for a jew to live in those areas? Yes, they are ruled by other government that are evil and corrupt, but technically they are part of greater israel, So I'm not so sure that it is wrong.
-
My Dear Chaim,
If this is personal, You dont have to answer. But how is your shidduch search going? Hope she will be Israel so you can also get in to Israel.
I also passed my GED this week. And on the 12th I get my Brit Millah. I am 20 years old but I am obligated to do it. Embarrasing I know but I am happy to do it.
Wish you the best Chaim and we a growing tremendously, look at the youtube account sometime.

Hello Chaim, it is a pleasure to hear you every week.
Do you believe that the domestication of certain animals (esp. cats and dogs) was an 'evolutionary' process or caused by G-d for the purpose of giving the pleasure of owning and using animals to humans. I find cats particularly delightful - even the Egyptians loved cats dearly.
Thank you.

Shalom Chaim,
I know this is long, but please read it all in order to publicize the recent arrest of elderly, ailing former Hmong Laotian general Vang Pao and nine of his associates here in Southern California this week on charges of putting together a coup to overthrow the Laotian Stalinist government. Words cannot describe what treason this is by our "leaders". We are jailing the Asian tribesmen we made fight for us 40 years ago--people who gave their lives to defend themselves and the US from communism? Our government has imprisoned countless Vietnamese, Cuban, and other patriots for trying to fight Marxism. Jorge the Bush murders thousands of Americans in order to bring "democracy" to Iraq but stops Indochinese from trying to save their homelands, which saw millions and millions murdered in the Khmer Rouge and North Vietnam's holocausts? Jorge and his cronies are evil beyond words and only deserve a slow death from testicular cancer.
You know full well that if a junta of Chinese Communists here was planning to overthrow Taiwan or Saudis were planning to take over Israel our government would do nothing about it.

Hi Chaim, I'm back:
David said something on your June 7th show that got me thinking. Why would the politicians spend millions of dollars trying to get an office job that pays $165,000 per year. This is the problem with elections and democracy. People should not have the right to elect corrupted and traitorous politicians. They should be elected by a trusted few that have proven their loyalty. I miss the days of Yosef Ben Meir burning the pictures of politicians on newspapers and your insulting of Fernando Fererrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Do you believe in democracy, totalitarianism or leadership?
-
Chaim, are you going to do videos about the situation in South Africa and Zimbabwe, and videos attacking Nazis such as Hal Turner?
-
Hi Chaim!
Thank you for answering my question last week about the Albanian Muslims in Kosovo.
This week as you know the big debate on Capitol Hill was The Immigration/Amnesty Bill, and as of today it looks like it was defeated. Thank God!
Is there a candidate in the Republican Party right now that you believe is righteous and worth supporting for President?
Will JTF ever campaign on his behalf?
Thank you,
Dan

Shalom Chaim. I enjoy ASK JTF immensely and I look forward to hearing it every week.
I know that JTF doesn't believe that Jews constitute an ethnicity but I disagree with it. I've read genetic studies, one of which said that we have largely maintained our ethnicity throughout the diaspora, and that Ashkenazim, Sfaradim and Mizrachim are genetically much closer to each other than any to the peoples they were surrounded by. Also, each Jew except Ethiopans can trace their origin to a small number of common females in the middle east. Many Jews, especially in the United States, believe that being Jewish only has to do with religion and that if one doesn't follow Judaism they can cease to be one. I've heard Jews who said that they are not Jewish but their parents are and they are atheist. I've known many who have espoused this position and my second cousins, who have a Jewish mother, do not consider themselves to be Jewish because their mother never told them what being Jewish really means. (they're French) My question is that given the Jewish identity crisis, isn't it very dangerous for Jews to believe that they are not an ethnicity because it makes it easy for them to think that they are not Jewish if they don't follow Judaism?
Thank You Chaim

Chaim, has your opinion on Ann Coulter changed? If so, why?

Hello Dear Chaim,
Hope all is well. You and Jimmy and everyone in the forum are doing a great job on YouTube. I have told everyone I know about the videos and to check them out. I think it's a wise departure from QPTV. Not only will you have a bigger audience, you hopefully you won't have any more affirmitive action problems.
My question for the week is about children. I agree with you that having kids is one of life's blessings, but I was wondering if you think all people should really have children. Of course, like you I am pro-life and against abortion, but if a responsible person is deciding whether or not to have kids, don't you think he or she should consider such things as their financial situation, whether or not they would be a good parent, any diseases or conditions that could be passed along, whether the child would be happy, etc., before deciding to have children? I think these are really important factors to consider before making a lifetime committment and bringing a child into this world. Thanks for all your great work as always. All the best.

Good evening Chaim,
There is a lot of heated discussion about Rav Ovadia Yosef on the forum. I understand his halachic decisions need to be obeyed by Jews and respect that and would never question him on them, but several posters have said that even his politics cannot be questioned. Comments have been made that any gentile who questions Rav Yosef should burn in hell, etc. I vehemently disagree with past political decisions he's made to give away land for so-called peace. Where does JTF stand on this? I understand the need to be respectful to a great talmudic tzaddik but are his politics not fair game in a respectful manner?
Thank you and good night.
-
Hello dear Chaim, :)
Could you please refer to the recent headlines about the incident between president Bush and president Putin that brought up again the "everlasting tension" between both countries?
Do you believe it was only a local misunderstanding, or is it a clear symptom to a wider pandora-box which only proves that the older tension between United States and former Soviet Union still lives?
Thank you and Shavu'a Tov! :-)
Gam Bashan.

Hello Chaim,
Would a Kahanist government maintain diplomatic relations with the Vatican? Thank you.
-
Obviously, to carry out Jewish ideals and Kahanist ideals in Israel would mean sacrificing a lot of foreign aid (especially from the US). The solution to this problem would be to make the economy so that it doesn't need American dollars. So, what will Prime Minister ben Pesach do to make Israel's economy more self-sufficient?
-
Hi Chaim
In your opinion, is it wrong to enjoy violence?
Shalom
