Dear Chaim, were you aware of the deadly SARS disease that originated in China and Hong Kong back in 2003 that eventually spreaded to several other Asian countries such as Mongolia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Singapore?
Finally, can you tell me the difference between SARS and the so-called Swine flu?

Do you think by then the American people will wake up and elect the right person to run the country?

Hello, Chaim. Shanah tovah umetukah.
I'm a high school senior, and I go to a public high school in a Boston suburb which is about 30-40% Jewish. There are some students at my school who have Jewish fathers and gentile mothers, but they identify as Jewish. I think that they should be encouraged to convert if they were interested in torah and mitzvot. However, they are not interested in torah and mitzvot and know nothing about Judaism. One of them thought that shabbat is on Sunday and that religious Jews always wear a talit gadol, even when they are not praying. I would have no problem if they just called themselves gentiles, but they call themselves Jewish which I don't like. They identify as Jewish because they like secular Jewish culture, kind of like what you call "bagel and lox Judaism." Have you met any people like that? What should we say to them?

Dear Chaim,
Thank you very much for your kind words last week, it means a lot.
What is your opinion on people in showbiz who portray an image of somebody else in order to make money? Eminem, for example, portrays the image of a gangster, when in reality he's a just an actor. Some of his lyrics are meshuga, but the world buys it. Professional wrestlers put on acts and are nothing like the guys they pretend to be when the cameras are rolling. I think some people get confused between reality and acting and don't understand that most of the people that we consider scum, are just acting. Do you feel it's alright for an Eminem type character to put on an act just to make money, or is there a line? As a side note, somebody like Michael Moore may just be a marketing genius because he produces movies at critical times when he knows everybody will want to see it. He might not truly believe everything he sells, but he just wants to make money. Is it all possible that these people are just giving the public what it wants, and are capitalizing on society's gullibility, ignorance, and overall craving for conspiracy, but deep down are the exact opposite, and we should not treat them as harshly? Thanks Chaim, Shana Tova.

Dear Chaim,
Should 9/11 be a national day of service? Also what did you think of Obamas Address to school students? Also what do you think of Law and Order? Also what would happen if Obama got control of the Internet?

Shalom Chaim,
My apologies for my inaccurate assumptions last week and thank you for explaining the differences between so-called left-wing Israelis in 1948 and those of the present. I did not think there was a difference between regular, secular "left-wing" Israelis and kibbutznik Marxists, so thanks for setting me straight.
Anyhow--here is my question for this week. Let's fantasize for a bit and pretend that we by G-d's blessing are able to get a huge black presence settled in Saudi Arabia (let's say at least 4 or 5 million). What would happen next? I would hope that they would have a race war, but is that realistic? Do you think schvartzes living with their sand-bros would relish every moment of it and be productive citizens of this whitey-hating nation, or would soon enough turn on them and begin the typical negro pattern of rape/murder/robbery sprees upon their host population, or neither of the above and just stick to themselves and have nothing much to do with the native Arab population?

Shalom Chaim,
What do you think of Saduceans? Some people assert that the modern Caraite movement founded by Yehimaya Gordon has its roots in Saducean interpretation of Torah as well as it draws its inspirattion from the works of ancient Caraite sages.
For our Gentile listeners: Saduceans deprecated all human's laws building only on letter of Testament and opposed Pharisees who inspired modern or Rabbinical Judaism.

Dear Chaim,
My question this week is in regards to foreign automakers. Toyota & Nissan are Japanese automakers – Japan hurt America in Pearl Harbor. BMW & Mercedez are German- enough said. This goes on with most automakers. It seems that every country selling cars have done something against America or us Jews. If we turn to American cars they tend not to last & would not have any resell value even if we bought them brand new. What is your opinion on buying a foreign car?
Also I don't know if you are going to talk about the terror cell that was busted here in Queens.... but I would love to hear you elaborate about it
Thank you for always answering my question(s)

Dear Chaim,
A) What do you think about Michael Vick? Do you think that he got the correct punishment for his actions, or do you think that dogfighting is a non-issue? I heard that his father used to take him to dog fights when he was younger and that dog fights were acceptable at that time. Do you think that dog fighting should be unregulated letting Capitalism take control of it or do you think that we should punish this behavior? Do you consider yourself an animal lover? If you do, what do you think of the Left-Wing PETA group? This group throws blood on $40,000 furs old rich old ladies and they support the ALF (Animal Liberation Front) which in my opinion is a crazy group that uses violence to protect animals.
B) What is your diet like? I've seen some older JTF videos and you look pretty skinny so I didn't figure you as a big eater? I'm just curious, what is a typical meal for you?
C) Did you serve your prison time in a Federal Prison? I watch History Channel's "Gangland" and many other shows about prison gangs and did you ever run into the Aryan Brotherhood or other Nazi gangs? They sell drugs in Federal Prisons and these slimeballs kill and rape other prisoners. There are also black gangs that run wild among the population and the infamous "La Eme" AKA the Mexican Mafia which is seen as the most powerful gang in the world. If you did serve time in Federal Prison, did you see these men there, and did you ever run into Neo-Nazis or black/mexican gangsters while doing time?
Thank you

I noticed that many times when anti-Semites want to smear Judaism they often pick the idea of the Jews as chosen people.
They say: "Jews consider themselves as chosen people? You see, they admit themselves that they are supremacists!"
If you check Wikpedia there is an article under "Jews as chosen people". It says it has nothing to do with supremacism but it includes a notion of obligation to G-d.
Can you please elaborate in your own words what the idea of Jews as chosen people exactly means?
Regards
davinci
PS: May all the anti-Semites burn in hell forever!

Dear Chaim:
G-d bless you and may you continue to have success in all your holy endeavors. Here are my questions for this week:
(1) What do you think about the group ACORN and the recent scandals surrounding it? What to you think about ACORN's leader Bertha Thomas mmm!?
(2) I never understood how the so called fake-a-stinianians could worship a homosexual and pedophile like Yasser Arafat, who should have otherwise been executed under Sharia. Just to relate a quick tidbit, according to the book “Red Horizons”, written by Lt.-Gen. Ion Pacepa, the deputy chief of Romania's intelligence service, Arafat was unveiled as an insatiable homosexual. According to a to the book, one military official recalled
"After the meeting with [Arafat], he went directly to the guest house and had dinner. At this very moment, the 'Fedayee' is in his bedroom making love to his bodyguard. The one I knew was his latest lover. He's playing tiger again. The officer monitoring his microphones connected me live with the bedroom, and the squawling almost broke my eardrums. Arafat was roaring like a tiger, and his lover yelping like a hyena." - Chaim - what are your comments?
Have a happy and healthy new year - Nekama - May Hashem take Nekema for the spilled blood of Rabbi Kahana!

Shalom Chaim, and Good Yontif to you and your family, a friend of mine who claims to be pro-Israel, said something preposterous, he says that instead of Israel being where it it, it should have been somewhere in Europe, probably from land taken away from Germany. Have you ever heard of anything more ridiculous?
-
Shalom Chaim! It's an honor to listen to your show every week. I want to say thank you so much for all your efforts in putting these together for us. I am in awe of you more and more!
The march on Washington made me proud, do you think these get togethers will get bigger in numbers? Will the usurper in the White House keep ignoring us? When will the majority finally be recognized? God bless Israel and may He keep her safe from harm.

Shalom Mr Ben Pesach,
Yom Kipur will soon be here. Will your relatives from Egypt be performing Kaparoth by throwing plants into a river? Bereishith ch.4 describes the first ever sacrifice. Hashem was pleased with Hevel’s animal sacrifice but was not pleased with Qayin’s plant offering. So does this imply that Kaparoth with a chicken is better?
In your opinion what exactly is the purpose of animal sacrifice or why does Hashem demand it? The Rambam’s explanation that the Ivrim were accustomed to this type of worship because they had lived in Egypt does not seem entirely consistent since animal sacrifice was performed as far back as Qayin and Hevel.
Toda raba wa shana tova!!!

Dear Chaim,
I have heard that, according to the Talmud, the Gentiles only have the animal soul, while the Jews have both the animal and divine soul. I find this hard to believe. Could this possbly be true? I can believe that somebody like Oprah Winfrey or Serena Williams have the animal soul. But do righteous Gentiles also have the animal soul? Please tell me that there is some other interpretation of what the rabbis say.

Greetings Chaim. What do you think are some of the ways that radical feminism has hurt women?

Shalom Chaim,
We have heard this many times from Jewish leaders, that India has been the only place where there has been no acts of anti-semitism. Does that mean jews had to face anti-Semitism in China. Kindly englighten me about Chinese-Israeli relations, historically as well as to present day.
Also whom would Israel stand by in support of, when it comes to border disputes between India-China.

Shalom Chaim,
Thanks so much for going the extra mile last week and redoing your show. Professional that you are, one would never have guessed that you had been through all the questions once before. It was as fresh and fun as always. Thanks.
Here is this week’s Eric Hoffer quote:
“The sick in soul insist that it is humanity that is sick, and they are the surgeons to operate on it. They want to turn the world into a sickroom. And once they get humanity strapped to the operating table, they operate on it with an ax.”
—The Passionate State of Mind (1955)
Here are my questions for this week.
1) What countries, if any, do you think are Israel’s best allies? It seems that countries and governments aren’t always the same thing. (For example, the majority of American people is pro-Israel, but the government is not.) Similarly, it would seem that Israel should make efforts to increase ties with other countries that are despised by the UN like Taiwan, Honduras, Columbia, and India. What do you think?
2) I read that only about 10% of the so-called stimulus has been spent. What are they waiting for? Are Obama and the Democrats waiting so that they can use the money a few months before election time to give the false impression that the economy is turning around, as so save their skins for another term? Likewise, is that why they say that if passed, Obamacare wouldn’t go into effect until 2012?
3) If, chas v’chalila, you were stranded on an uninhabited, tropical island and you had to pick between being stranded with Michelle Obama, Ophra Winfrey, Whoopie Goldberg, or Venus and Serena Williams, who would you choose?
Thanks and Chazak v’emahtz!

Dear Chaim,
first of all - thank you for your illuminating and provocative thoughts last week. A blast as always.
My question:
In your eyes, is there a meaningful distinction between "anti-Semite" and "Nazi"? I recently had an argument with a self hating, whining, Joe Lieberman piece of Drek, in which I contended that Jimmy Carter is an out and out Nazi who wants to see Israel destroyed and all Jews murdered. The piece of excrement with whom I argued said (in a nasal, whining kike voice) "Nooo! Carter's not a Naaaazi! How can you say thaaat!? He's not even an anti-Semite!" I told this jerk that he is a moron, and were it up to Jimmy Carter, he and his whole family would be showering with Zyklon-B.
What are your thoughts about these terms? I can't wait for Carter to croak so HaShem can send him to roast in Gehenom. Yemach Shemo ve Zichro.
Long live JTF and our valiant, heroic leader, Chaim ben Pesach. Ata behemet Gibor, Chaim. Ani omer todah l'Hashem she yesh lanu Manhig kamocha. Tiyeh Bari ve Shana Tova!

Dear Chaim, do you think there are anti obama members of the intelligence community in Washington D.C. that are watching him?
If he is being watched how can they prevent him from giving away top secret defense information to our enemies?
One other question if I may.... Chaim, do you think it is possible to deprogram leftist Jews that have been brainwashed by evil leftist propanganda?
Thank you and may G-d Bless you

I'm Jay-d (JewDefance!).
I was only a reader up until now, but after this, I HAD to register man.
have you SEEN this vile afro-beast called "kanye west"?
there's nothing western about this tar baby, let me tell you that.
First, if you don't know what I'm talking about, have a look at this:
http://vodpod.com/watch/2188526-kanye-west-interrupts-taylor-swifts-acceptance-speech-on-2009-mtv-video-musicawards
this human excrement, this lousy excuse of a "performer",
went UP on stage, AS the lovely southern bell, taylor swift (who's still only a child)
and GRABBED the microphone from her hand, WHILE she was accepting an award, thus defiling her shining moment of joy,
only to shout (these jungle bunnies can't talk in a civil tone) something about
how his black big-donkey cow friend, beyonce's video, is really the best video out there.
the poor country girl was mortified by this hideous ape,
when I saw it on tv, I swear I was fantasizing about
what it would feel like, raining blows on this A-hole!
You see Chaim? he thinks that a bunch of black sluts shaking their fat cellulite donkeys in tights,
has much more quality, than a white wholesome music video like taylor's.
I would love to hear your opinion about this.
why are we allowing these black baboons destroy our culture time after time?
I envy you Chaim, you got to live in the 50's and 60's,
A time when those beasts knew their place, and white people were there to remind them.
this world is going to hell in a hand basket, if we don't start to weak up.
Hey! have a שנה טובה Chaim,
I'm hooked on your shows, keep up the good job.
Jay-D.

How is it that the Babylonians where able to destroy the temple of Solomon. How is it that the Romans where able to destroy the temple again. If the temple housed the ark of the covenant, what credence do you give to the theory that the ark was taken to Ethiopia by Menelik son of queen of Sheba and Solomon. The Ethiopians celebrate old temple Judaism not celebrating Hanukkah and other developments to the faith after the first temple. How do you feel about Ethiopian jews if they are in fact offspring to a non jewish woman and the king of israel? what is your view of converted jews? are they on the same plain with pure blooded jews?

Shalom Chaim,
I'm interested in your opinion of what Denmark's role was during the Holocaust? Was Denmark ( in addition to Serbia ) truly an exception to the norm in their efforts to attempt to save Jews during WWII?

Shalom Mr. ben Pesach,
first I want to report back.
second my question this week is:
Why are Barak & Obama are telling us, that the Iranian Missle-threat is now lower than before, althrough I didn't heard or read that Iran has demilitarized a part of their long range rocket artillery. In fact they are building more missles and starting systems.

Why are there no great ancient large structures in Israel? Did the Jews build any, or did they just build the Temple. The Egyptians built incredible pyramids and the Greeks built beautiful temples. Did the Jews only build the one temple and no other large structures. I would think if they were advanced, they would have built many beautiful structures and there would be ruins of them today. What did they look like?

Shana Tova ve Metuka lecha Chaim!
may this year be the year you finally are allowed into Israel! I personally pray for you when I put on my Teffillin every morning, and wish you health and happiness in this new year!
now to my questions:
1. What is the official Tanach clause on the concept of getting vengence (nekama)? Christians turn the other cheek, but what is our obligations as Jews in regards to how to deal with someone that has wronged us? The mossad went after and killed the munich olympic terrorsts in its vendetta campaign, and in the Tanach there are numerous stories about the Jews going after and killing those that wronged them, including other Jews.
2. what are your understandings and feelings about Karaite Jews? In your opinon, do they got it all wrong? or are they a legitimate branch of Judasim? I have read about them, and feel they have some valid reasons to why they reject the talmud.
Thanks as always,
G-d Bless!

Shalom Chaim,
Back in the 1930s and 1940s, blacks used to be called Negroes. Then in the 1950s and 1960s they were called Colored. Then in the 1970s and 1980s they were called Blacks. Then in the 1990s and today, they are called African-Americans. I can think of no other group in America that has been called so many different things. And if you call them Negro or Colored nowadays, they become angry and accuse you of racism - but they themselves used to use these terms. Why are blacks seemingly obsessed with dictating what they can and cannot be called?
-
Chaim,
Did you ever attempt to make any speaking engagements at various synagogues in affluent neighborhoods or even at church parishes (in an auditorium and not necessarily in the church). I can speak to my local pastor, and maybe you can bring attention to the importance of Israel one parish/synagogue at a time.
Best wishes in the new year

Shalom Chaim,
While we both agree that government’s involvement into economy should be as minimal as possible, should there be any types of business activities that government should: a) regulate, b) ban entirely, and c) run itself?
Thank you very much!

Hello Brother Chaim
They are starting to bring out names for the Gov race for NY, there are 2 names thus far... Andrew Cuomo most likely for the Dems and either Rick Lazio or Rudy Guiliani for the Republicans.
Which is the best bet to support cause after this blind idiot anything is better
