Dear Chaim,
What is your opinion on July 4, 1776 being The 17th of Tammuz? Also, when The Jews were expelled from Spain, Columbus left for America which paved the way for a new home for Jews after the expulsion. Both events were on Tisha B'Av. So good events in American History which benefited humanity, happened on bad days on The Jewish Calendar. America has been a haven for Jews since then. Do you think part of the reason why Jews should not celebrate The Fourth of July is because July 4, 1776 was The 17th of Tammuz?
This is a fact I found out by checking Chabad.org's online calendar which stretches back a few hundred years and lasts thousands of years into the future, not taking into account that The Mashiach will have already come by then so we won't have a set calendar anymore. If we keep our set calendar, the current calendar drift will continue. This drift is that the earliest Passover can fall in the solar year has moved up 7.5 days since we got the set calendar. So it can no longer fall on The Vernal Equinox and can end as late as May now which will be a regular occurrence in a few hundred years. The calendar drifts by one day every 231 years.

Chaim: Can you explain what distinguishes a modern orthodox, a Charedi non-Hasidic Orthodox and a Hasidic Jew in philosophy, tradition and clothing? Can you go through the main differences between major Hasidic movements, especially Lubavitcher, Satmar and Bobov?

I'm posting this on behalf of Yacov Menashe and Take Back Our Temple. Plesae read and answer the whole question. If you don't have time past the first paragraph, at least look over the rest which is a letter from Libby Kahane which appeared on Yekutiel's forum.
Are you in contact with Mrs. Kahane? Does she live in Kfar Tapuach with Rav Binyamin's orphans? Yacov heard that Rav Binyamin's orphans live in Tapuach and when he went to Tapuch with Yekutiel and Nahum, someone pointed and told him "That's Meir David Kahane." (The grandson of HaRav Meir David Kahane, ZT"L, HY"D.). Take Back Our Temple wanted to know: "How well did you know Libby Kahane and Talya Kahane? How did they contribute to the works of their great husbands and to The Land of Israel?".
The following appeared on Yekutiel's forum.
From The Jewish Press:
http://www.jewishpress.com/page.do/20125/Letters_To_The_Editor.html
I am looking for Arthur Kurtz, whose photograph of my late husband, Rabbi Meir Kahane, zt”l, appeared in a Brooklyn College newspaper in 1974. I’d appreciate hearing from him, or anyone knowing his whereabouts, to request permission to use the photo in a book about Rabbi Kahane. I may be contacted at [email protected].

Dear Chaim,
I will be meeting with Aryeh Eldad once I get to Israel, I'd like to try to get him involved in your Aliyah case. If you are interested in me doing this please send me the relevant information about your case and any contact info for your people in Israel you think I should speak with who can assist me in gaining Dr. Eldad's help.

Salman Rushdie (the author of "The Satanic Verses") has been knighted in the UK. I think it is fantastic that there is no discrmination againt people who are anti-islam. The muzzies have been burning effegies of the queen and been violently protesting (what a surprise). They have also issued a fatwa against Rushdie. What is your opinion on this?

Here is a tough question for you. Who was the best prime minister Israel ever had in her 60 years of miraculous survival and why do you choose him/her?
Thank you

Shalom Chaim,
Believe it or not, there was a debate on the forum over whether the Nazi Alex Jones (of Prison Planet) is an enlightening individual. The creep says that the Mossad and so-called "settlers" are behind terrorist plots. Jeez Louse. Please state the no-brainer obvious to the forum in this case and reassure everyone that this conspiracy nut is as big a Nazi as Jeff Rense or the militia freaks.
Thank you very much. Chaimfan
PS: Nic, your anti-Israel so-called Christian acquaintances are about as biblically Christlike as the Episcopalian faggot priests/priestesses and Obama's black Nazi "pastor".

Chaim,
What do you think of premarital and extramarital sex for both men and women for both Jews and Gentiles? What would be the fate of a Jewish girl, who had premarital sex, in terms of her acceptance or rejection by other Jewish men?

Shalom Chaim,
If JTF will be a political party, who will be the party members ?

Chaim,
Did you see the film, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against The West"? If so, what did you think of it?
Note From Yacov: They have a disclaimer in the beginning saying that Muslims in the video don't speak for all Muslims.

Hello Chaim,
I attended the 13th anniversary of the Lubavicher Rebbi. The guest speaker at the event was the Chief Ashkinazi Rabbi of Israel Rav Yona Metzger. When I went over to shake Rav Metzgers hand as I shuffled my way through the crowed, I was surprised to see you there standing in line. I went over to you and identified myself from the forum, you briefly thanked me and said you were there to speak to the rabbi and as I recall you did look very focused on getting a chance to speak to him. I figured it wasn’t the right time and place to talk about JTF/Kahanist issues due to the special nature of the event. My question to you Chaim is, would you be interested in meeting up with me to discuss creative ways that would help put JTF/Kahanism onto the conciseness of Jews and Righteous Gentiles?
Thank you Chaim.
P.S: Boy wasent that an amazing and special event.

Hello Chaim
It is Monday I went to get some groceries and I see the cover page of the NY Post saying about Mike Doomberg hopes for Presidency. Boy, do we like disaster candidates. Mike Doomberg put a strangle hold through out the City of NY with the biggest tax hike in the city's history. And every moment he can he is always sucking up tot he Zulus in Jamaica, Bed Sty and Harlem. God help this country if anyone really concidered this animal. Since he became Mayor everything started to go back to what NY was like before Rudy. The bums are back in the sidewalk and subways terrorizing people for spare change. I said this when Rudy left as Mayor of NY this city was going to miss this man. And now Doomberg is a concideration for the high office so he can assist the rest of the nation to be like BedSty or like South Central L.A.

Dear Chaim,
They are 100% Jewish and live in the land of Israel, but are also 100% socialist. What do you think of kibbutzim?

Hello Chaim,
I must admit to you that I tried to get everyone to go along with asking you the same question last week, to tell us a funny Affirmative Action story. This was my attempt to trick you into recording a full 3 hour comedy extravaganza! Oh well. So I guess I will have to assemble my own best of Chaim CD from many weeks of only me doing this. Once again, lay another ummmm-hmmmm story on me!!! Allen.

Dear Chaim, What do you think about Rabbi David Bar Chaim Shlita. He is a very interesting Rav. He learned at Mercaz Rav Kook for years and also taught Gemara at Yeshivat HaRaayon Hayehudi. His Beit Din gave a psak din this year before Pesach that all Jews living in Eretz Yisrael no longer have to keep the European custom of not eating Kitniot. His rationale is based on both the Mishna and the Shulchan Aruch's view of customs. Namely, that they are based only upon the Minhag of a place and if one leaves that place permanently he is required to take on the customs of his new place of residence. Since the Minhag of Kitniot never was accepted in Eretz Yisrael, all Jews there may eat them regardless of country of origin. His halachic rationale seems airtight. What do you think?

Hello Chaim,
Sorry I missed to ask a question last week, :(
I have followed JTF for a number of years now and I believe we have made tremendous progress in the last 6-8 mo.
From the Forum being introduced to the YouTube Videos released and with all the other promotions JTF has really blossomed into something wonderful we all envisioned. I do have one concern that you keep on mentioning on every show, The lack of money and funds that JTF has to work with. Is there any way to raise that issue more? Can we all(forum members) agree to donate at least $20 a month through PayPal... or am my to aggressive with this suggestion?
Thanks for all the wonderful answers you give every week,
Dan

Hi Chaim,
Just a follow up to last week's question: Why was the Pomonoc housing project built right in the middle of a peaceful Jewish neighborhood? At the time, didn't they think that they would ruin a nice neighborhood? What was their purpose?...vindictiveness against the community?
much future success~

Hello Chaim,
It is a ness that you survived! Can you please further elaborate on a recommended strategy of surviving in a federal penitentiary for a Jew?
What is the best strategy? Hide identity or ask for solitary? Being fearless and ready to escalate even small provocation is obvious to me.
Both Irv Rubin and Earl Krugel did not make it in the general population and whatever one thinks of them, they were tough Jews. What else?
Thanks for shedding light on this.
Toda ahi!

Dear Chaim – concluding part from last week.
Thank you, for the great replies so far.
Anti-Semitism keeps intermarriage levels down – ensres we wont be destroyed and we keep the Toirah and Mitzvots. Why did G---d allow for jews to be annihilated in the Shoah: Gaby says because jews were self-destructing through assimilation and intermarriages r”l and Hitler ysh”vz wasn’t selective of the frum and non-frum. Whay didn’t the JDL mention religion, Lock asks – or JTF? Thanks allot.
Can you live in Israel – like the Satmar, Vishnitz, Skvare sects do and not be a Zionist, and can you be a Zionist outside the Land of Tzion?
Shalom and Todah Rabah!

Shalom Chaim and Thank you as always for your hard work and answering questions.
What is your opinion of MK Gilad Moshe Erdan? I know he is in Likud and worked with Ariel Sharon, but he opposed the surrender of Yesha, and stated he cared more about Israel than the Likud party . He seems to be genuine, and is the best of an awful crop of Likud politicans. He also fought with Arab Muslim MK's.and is a working to strengthen Jewish ties with Evangelicals. He also wants to follow a JTF-like plan of exposing Israeli youth to their Jewish heritage, and said it is an embarassment that Israeli youth do not know enough about Judaism.
However until he has the Chaim Ben Pesach kosher seal of approval I have my reservations.

Dear Chaim:
You spoke last week of your experiences in prison last week. You mentioned John Gotti. What was he like?
In my opinion, Gotti represented the modern 'mafiosi' (a common street thug).
The old-time Cosa Nostra were indeed honorable people.
Shalom

Dear Chaim,
Some of the JTF people that I met at the Israel Day parade thought that I named myself after the South American country Colombia, and you thought that I named myself after Columbia University, but to correct all of you, I chose the name Hail Columbia because it was the title of the former (although unofficial) national anthem of these United States. http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/hailcolumbia.htm
Now For My Question:
The webmaster of AfricanCrisis (http://www.africancrisis.co.za) wants to make the Save Western Civilization section the official forum for his website, because he wants to align his movement to ours. Is that acceptable? Yacov wanted to know if we are going to make the African Crisis leaders moderators on Save Western Civilization? This could open up a new front for JTF support among white Southern Africans. It has been suggested we start a Save Southern Africa section under Save Western Civilization. Maybe we could then have Save Europe, Save Canada, and Save Australia and New Zealand.

Shalom and Greetings, Chaim!
Over the past century, the civilized world has seen the rapid success of Bolshevism, this due in no small part to their belief that "all that is necessary to subvert a society and create a revolution, is to change the meaning of language".
Today in the U.S., the populace has been thoroughly brainwashed as a result of the media's endless use of this tactic.
For instance, several hundred cannibals, Moslem sheiks & Imams, 3rd World genocidal murderers and cannibals, are renamed "The International Community"...
Finishing Hitler's job is renamed "The Peace Process" or "The Roadmap".
A committee of criminals formed to insure permanent Israeli defeat and Jewish genocide is instead renamed "The Middle East Quartet"...etc. etc.
My question:
Should we in JTF adapt this admittedly evil but effective technique for the furtherance of our goals and objectives?
Perhaps putting some Jewish brains together, we could devise changes in the language used daily by everyone, and practice repeating it always, everywhere, to everyone, over and over and over; until others begin to also repeat the words and phrases?

Shalom Chaim!!
What is your opinion about Miss Israel posing in a bikini for an ad for the Israeli Consulate? Is it sexist? Are you for that?
-
Chaim,
I thought your encounter with the affirmative-action "professor" was humorous, albeit quite depressing. In the spirit of the great Allen-T I'd like to hear another one of your affirmative-action encounters!
As always, you're a gentleman and a scholar.
All the best.

Chaim,
If you are not allowed into Israel before the next Israeli elections, G-d forbid, would you consider having certain trusted members of the Yamin Hamiti in Israel form a political party with you being the spokesman for the party from the U.S. Obviously it's not ideal, but maybe with all the teenagers you have there willing to flood Israel with flyers, the party could grab two seats. With a foot in the door, I'm sure those Knesset members could pull the strings neccesary to get you in, G-d willing. Is there anyone in our movement in Israel that's qualified to do this?
P.S. When you have a moment you can read some speculation from our posters (myself included) about your fascinating encounter with the Rebbe at: http://jtf.org/forum_english/index.php?topic=5865.0.
In, short my feeling is that the Rebbe was looking into your life and giving you strength for the challenges that lay ahead.

Hello Chaim,
Maybe you didn't quite get what I was saying. I know there is no biological reason for why the majority of the Black and Indian Hispanics are drek. I know that it is a choice that they make and that it is cultural and like always there are exceptions. I know there are exceptions. But I just want to make clear the distinction that is obvious to me between them and White hispanicsa and Spaniards who are obviously culturally superior. White Spaniards are Culturally similar to the Italians, Greeks and Jews therefore culturally superior. Do you agree? Toda Achi.

I'm posting this message on behalf of Yacov Menashe because he let me ask through Jimmy this week so my question would be at the top.
What do you think of Gentiles celebrating Labor Day? I know you think Jews shouldn't celebrate it. Do you support Gentiles celebrating it or are you against it because it is a Bolshevik holiday? Is it a real American holiday?
What do you think of the way most Americans celebrate Memorial Day (by having a barbecue and/or going to the beach)? Is this the proper way to celebrate it? Is it a celebration or is it supposed to be a day of mourning like the Israeli one?
All I do to celebrate any of the days I just mentioned is to just have a barbecue. But sometimes I don't even do that.

Shalom Chaim,
When the Kahanists come to power in Israel (may it be soon) will you bring jewish traitors to justice for all their various acts of treason and crimes against jewery over the years? I'm speaking in particular regard to those who gave away parts of biblical Israel, assaulted and threw jews from their homes, did nothing when jews had missiles reigning down on their fields and houses and most shamefull of all, gave controll of the Temple Mount to nazi sand apes (who are destroying all trace of jewish presence there as I write this) and denying jews their holy right to pray there. What are the proper Talmudic punnishments?
-
Chaim,
If the US had not entered World War Two, and Germany had won in Europe, it seems likely they would have deified Hitler after his death. I do NOT think America -- or at least the morally grounded America of 50 years ago -- would have recognized this cult as a religion, and afforded it constitutional protection.
Is this what Islam is, the death cult of a departed mass murderer? Is Islam a religion or an ideology? Do you think Islam should be protected by the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment?
Thank you Chaim,
Kalman Ben Menachem

hi chaim, i did not spot that islamic prophesy you mentioned last time, thanks its convinces that god is truely great.
my question is what is your opinion if there is a choice between the mother being killed ands the baby being born and surviving or the baby being aborted to save the mother. As i am pro life and think abortion is a murderous disgusating sin, i would like to know your opinion on this tricky situation....
-
Dear Chaim,
Two weeks ago you answered my question about foreign aid - but now I have a slightly different question. What about trade relations with the US and the EU? Wouldn't those go down the drain if Jewish Ideals and Kahanist Ideals were applied in Israel? Now, don't get me wrong, I support a transfer and I support Kahanism 110%, I just think this may be a problem that we will encounter.
Thanks as always,
Eitan

Hi Chaim. I just wanted to tell you that not a day goes by that I don't wish I lived in Israel. I listen to Israeli music to try and improve my hebrew which is unfortunately super limited. Anyways, I was wondering if you could tell me which conservative talk show host is most worthwhile to listen to. I know you are probably going to tell me that they are all drek which is of course true, but I hope you can give me at least one name. Thank you so much Chaim and I hope we see each other in Israel soon.

Dear Chaim. What would be an ideal and righteous economic system, in your opinion? How would such a system balance the citizens' rights, and responsibilities? Could you describe in a few words the type of economic system you will be promoting once you come to power, G-d willing? From what I understand, you support the idea of the free market. Would there be any limitations on the "laissez-faire" principle, such as anti-monopoly laws? Would free enterprise be consistent with implementing social justice, as demanded by Judaism? Do you believe in equal economic opportunities in accordance with the idea of meritocracy? Thank you.
-
Dear Chaim,
Not to sound racist, but how can you explain the fact that most blacks have wide noses and protruding jaws similar to apes? Maybe the Midrash is true which says that in Genesis G-d turned Kain into a gorrilla. Doesn't this mean that they are close to apes? Let's be realistic. It's so obvious that many of them look simian.
P.S. You may call me ape for short if you'd like

Hello Dear Chaim,
Hope you had a great week and all is well. This week I had a question for you about a breed of evil that seems to be growing in popularity, atheism. I was looking through Barnes and Nobles a few weeks back and the shelves were packed with books supporting atheism. I also saw a program a while ago about how many doctors and scientists are becoming atheists because they believe the laws of science do not support the notion of a G-d. They actually are starting to believe that everything in this world can be explained through science and figured out by man. They do not believe in a world to come and feel death is the end, an absolute finality. Can anything be more depressing? Another popular mantra the atheists have is that if a person believes in G-d, it is the burden of that person to prove G-d's existence beyond a shadow of any doubt. They claim this can't be done. You can't argue with these people as they have a ridiculous answer for every point you try to make. I was wondering if you could help put this growing group of inhumanity in their place, as only Chaim can do. Until next week, G-d willing, take care.

Dear Chaim,
I know you probably heard that Hamas obtained the CIA documents that were given to Fatah by the U.S. and Israel and now they are giving Fatah more weapons and almost half a billion dollars. It's complete insanity!
Why isn't Fatah listed as a terrorist organization if they were behind almost every suicide attack in Israel? Perhaps U.S. and E.U. antisemitism is behind this with the attempt to destroy Israel?
Wanting to hear your thoughts,

Dear Chaim,
Did you hear about Pipi wanting to put Jordanian PLO terrorists in Judea and Samaria?
I don't understand why Kikes like him so much - if they like him after this I hope they drop dead very soon.
