Shalom Chaim,
1: Do you think that when Fag Buchanus (may he burn in hell forever) talks against Obama in his stupid pedophile columns that it is all a bunch of German Nazi taqqiyah? I think there is only one reason why Buchanus is displeased with Obama, and that is because he thinks he has not been tough enough on Israel.
2: I honestly do not know why some forum members still feel a fondness in their hearts for the filthy autistic lecher Yacov (ys"vz). This pig tried to destroy our forum, called you a Nazi and a "self-hating Jew", allied himself with some of the most vile enemies of Israel in existence on his pathetic three-member splinter "forum" (if you want to call it that), and spread and tolerated some of the most vicious lashon hara imaginable against you and JTF/JTF members. A JTFer once said that if his pseudo-Jewish kurva (Mills, who had a woman who looks like a porn star in her avatar on Guzofsky's forum; yimach schma to her too) asked him to, that he'd have sexual relations with Yasser Arafat. Please expose to the whole forum what this sleazy rodef and his shiksa Nazi slut "girlfriend" did and, if you so like, do an impression of him also. ;D

Dear Chaim,
What are your opinions on Strom Thurmond and John Sununu (both the older one and the younger one)?
-
Dear Chaim I hope you are feeling better.
If I don't see you before your birthday I wish you a happy and joyful one.
Here's my question(s).
P.S. I don't mind if I can only get one question answered and I'd prefer if it was question 3. Thanks.
1.What were the good and bad things Ariel Sharon done for Israel and The Jewish people.
2.What PM in Israel was the worst and who was the best out of the creation of The Jewish State and why?
3.If you were PM of Israel would you destroy The Mosque in Jerusalem and begin building on The Temple Mount?
G-D bless you, your loved ones, your family and all The Jews in Israel and throughout the world.
Bryan.

Dear Chaim,
Why is Christmas called Xmas along with any other holidays that had there names changed? Also what happens around the holidays through out the world? What happens in Israel during the end of the year and in January? What happens if you upload the JTF videos in HD? What will Israel do for the year 2010? PS: We must help Israel before it's to late not much time is left! We stop Obama while we still can. How do we get him out of office?

Dear Chaim,
1)Are you able to go to shul on Shabbos and eat the seudot with other people? Are the people in your community friendly to you? You live in my dad's neighborhood (roughly) and I know some of them can be very left-wing. How do you generally find it?
2) Would you write weekly columns in publications such as Jewish Press and the like or put out advertisements in those pages?
Thanks and may Hashem help us.

What do you generally think of music and what kinda music do you like?
Also I wanna ask you for your thoughts on Latinos (not illegals).
-
What was your favorite rock band? I'm trying to learn how to play some music from Slash who was in Guns N Roses back before I was even born but it's hard! I'm just learning how to play the guitar though. Hopefully I'll get it soon.
What are your thoughts on abortion? What does the Torah say about abortion?
Thank You.

Hope all is well. Have you ever heard of the "Friends of the IDF"? It's another one of those movements who claim to help IDF soldiers, but basically take a large percentage of donations for themselves. There was an event this past Saturday night where they had a black singer, Estelle, sing for the crowd. She had a terrible performance. I was telling myself, what a waste of money it was to pay this probably anti-semite to perform than to give that money to the soldiers...but then again, maybe it's a good thing if those very soldiers were going to remove Jews from their homes. What's your opinion of the IDF and how should we look at them?
Thank you

Chaim,
Could you please give the membership an update on the technical side of JTF.
- Has Shlomo finished all of the redesign work on the websites?
- Are you still hoping to bring him on full-time?
- I remember there was discussion about a background program to boost JTF's Google rating. Is that still in the works?
- What's next for JTF.org and JTF's internet presence?
PS...I am a Catholic and fully agree with your comments last week regarding Christianity and Judaism in JTF. I know many Catholics (such as the late Sean Reilly) have worked with distinction in the JTF movement. I, like many Christians, dream of a day when the Israel stretches from the Nile to the Euphrates and the Temple is rebuilt.
I hope you are feeling better! What happened - did you eat a candy bar? ;D

Shalom Chaim,
I am writing to disagree with Dr. Brennan Fan and others who think that Tiger Woods's behavior had something to do with his race. It has absolutely nothing to do with his race. I am definitely the FIRST person to condemn black ghetto culture and criticize so-called entertainers who perpetuate rap, crime and other elements of this. But Tiger Woods is not part of this culture. First of all Tiger Woods is only one-quarter black. His father was half black, a quarter Native American and a quarter Chinese. Secondly his father was not a ghetto schvartze, he was a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army who served in Vietnam and was a completely normal and law-abiding man. Woods was never raised in the typical black culture. Tiger Woods is simply a celebrity who cheated on his wife - extremely common, and regrettable, but unconnected with racial issues. Countless white celebrities have done the same thing or worse. To make it about a racial thing is really going too far. It is not a man's race that matters, it is his soul.

Shalom Chaim! I just listened to your wonderful show and wanted you to know that there are alot of hypocrites in this world. I was born and raised a Catholic. When I was finally old enough to "understand", I looked around and felt it was more like a "cult". Everyone went to church, said the same prayers, went to confession every week, but yet they still did the same "wrong" things they had just confessed! I am NOT like most Christians who believe if you are NOT Christian, or wasn't saved or baptized etc, you will go to hell. I even went to other denominations to see how different they would be from the Catholic church. Again, I found alot of hypocrisy. I believe that God is everywhere and no matter WHERE you are, He will hear you pray. If your heart is good and you mean well, then you are a good person. Not sure if I believe in a heaven or hell, but I do believe that karma WILL bite you in the arse!
Too much tolerance is what is getting this country into such trouble, don't you agree? Greed is also a huge factor.
I loved your show and agree with pretty much all you said. I am not at all offended by anything you said, but I AM offended when others in the forum make me feel as though I am "beneath" them, or not good enough to have joined JTF. I will always stand with AND defend my Jewish brothers and sisters because of all people, they deserve to have their beautiful land of Israel. I have always wished that ALL that stand beside her, would travel there in unity and obliterate the muslims out of there and around there and she be left in peace. This is MY wish for Israel.
God Bless you Chaim Ben Pesach, I hope you are on your way to a speedy recovery!

Do you think that the United States' economy will soon get to the point where the government is unable to pay Social Security or pensions for retired government workers and military? Based on your answer, do you recommend any changes in the traditional ways people save money? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible the white disgust building up over the half-breed negro tiger woods having trysts with beautiful white girls will be psychologically transferred to the other prominent half-breed negro who is screwing the entire white country? and, if so, will charles manson get paroled?

Shalom Mr Ben Pesach,
Wayiqra 19:27 says not to destroy the edge of your beard. So that assumes that all Jewish men should have a beard in the first place. Regardless of how you want to interpret that pasuq it is important for Jews to have a hairstyle and look that is distinguished from goyim. And the fact that the Temani always had payoth proves that this hairstyle goes back to the time of the first Beith HaMiqdash.
My question for this week is when you take power in Israel will the Gadol of our generation Rabbi Mordechai Friedman Shlita become the Chief Rabbi or the head of the Sanhedrin? He is extremely knowledgeable and he was a good friend of Rabbi Meir Kahane and he is currently banned from Israel.

Shalom Chaim,
I hope you are feeling better. This week I have some scripture questions I hope you can clarify.
In Genesis (Bereshith) there appears to be two separate creation stories, which use different names for G-d, Hashem in the first account and Hashem Hashem in the second account. (sorry it won't let me write them. The first starts with a Y and the second a Y E)
In the 7 day creation story, G-d created plants on the third day and fish and birds on the fifth day. On the sixth day, He created animals and man. In the Adam and Eve story, G-d created man first. Then He created plants. Then, for man to have company, G-d created animals and birds. And finally, G-d created woman. Which is it? What is the correct order?
Also, if Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, how could he write of his own death? Did Joshua add this part in? Or did he foresee his own death?
And finally, in lots of passages it's mentioned that the sun rises and sets. For example, Ecclesiastes (Kohelet) 1:5. If you believe the
earth revolves around the sun this is an incorrect statement. The sun doesn't rise at all, the earth does. It's an optical
illusion. Even if G-d wanted to use this phrase to emphasize human mortality and the fleeting nature of existence, couldn't He have chosen a more scientifically accurate one?
Thank you,

What is your opinion of Rabbi Schmuley Boteach?
-
Shalom Chaim,
I know you follow Menachim Meiri's interpretation of the Jewish Halacha. That is one of the reasons you want to work with Christians.
However I heard that Menachim Meiri's interpretation is considered as a liberal view. I also heard that other Halachic arbitrators in Judaism do not qualify Christians as Righteous Gentiles unlike Meiri and they believe that Christians will go to hell because of idol worship?
In Israel also I see a vast majority of Orthodox Jews do not follow Meiri's interpretation?
Christian Bible also says all Christians cannot go to heaven if they don't do the will of the Father in heaven. Therefore just because someone calls himself/herself as Christian does not qualify him/her to become a citizen of heaven in the world to come.
Your thoughts?
Thanks!

Dear Chaim,
my young nieces and nephews resent me because I do not buy them gifts for Chanukah. To me, buying gifts on Chanukah is a disgusting tradition that has no place in our theology. First it starts with gifts - what's next - "Chanukah trees" and all manner of hideous imitations - am I wrong to classify this as "Avodah Zara"?
Chanukah is about celebrating Matisyahu and his sons smashing Antiochus (yemach shemo vezichro, ve'ye'abed zecher zichro) and the evil Hellenists, cleansing the Bet HaMikdash and of course, the great Nes.
The Maccabees were great Jews - proto-Kahanists, in a way. Instead of celebrating these heroes, Jews choose to celebrate by imitating gentiles and giving gifts.
Am I wrong to take this stance?

Shalom brother Chaim ..i hope you are feeling better.
do you think the repeal of the Prohibition of alcohol was due to the the difficulty of enforcing such a law? this phenomenon of criminalizing drugs is a relatively new one.
do you think in the days of the bait hamikdash such laws were inforced, becase dugs such as cannibus, opioum and alcohol were quite prevalent in the middle east
is there a place in the oral/written Torah that makes such a prohibition against recreational drug usage , because i know the first thing hashem tells Adam is he can consume all greenery, what was forbidden was to consume animals so i am puzzled with this issue
as we all know the war on drugs in the U.S. is a failure and a waste of money. as pm how would you enforce drug laws.

Dear Chaim,
I hope you're feeling better.
My question is regarding Channukah. I remember last year how you did a video explaining the real meaning of Channukah, rather than the ones so-called rabbis peddle about one day's worth of oil lasting for eight days. Why do you think rabbis and Jews don't celebrate what really went on, for example, how Matityahu killed the evil Syrain Greeks and a self hating Jewish collaborator?
Today via Worldnetdaily.com I found an article on The Jewish Journal called "Maccabes Heroes Or Rabble Rousers."
http://www.jewishjournal.com/chanukah/article/heroes_or_rabble-rousers_the_real_story_of_the_maccabees_20091210/
According to this article, not even all the religious Jews of the time agreed with the Maccabes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first centuries of the common era, the Jewish sages of Mesopotamia sought to minimize the Maccabees’ significance in the Chanukah story. These scholars of the Babylonian Talmud focused instead on the miracle of the menorah oil, emphasizing the divine element of the story over the military victory of the Maccabees.
Richard Kalmin, chairman of rabbinic literature at the Jewish Theological Seminary, says the rabbis’ irreverent treatment of the Hasmoneans was based on the concerns of their era.
“The rabbis were competing with a class of wealthy local Jews over influence,” Kalmin said. “The stories of the Hasmoneans portrayed them as aristocrats, therefore entitled to be in a position of respect.
“However, the rabbis of Babylonia thought studying the Torah was more important. One of the ways in which they fought for their values was to engage in propaganda portraying the progenitors of the Hasmoneans as not coming across too well.”
Largely as a result of this, the festival of lights for centuries focused on the miracle of the oil. Then, in the late 19th century, the Zionist movement revived the cult of the Maccabees. The story of Chanukah, which evokes images of warrior Jews fighting for independence, mirrored their own ambitions, and many early Zionists considered the holiday more important than Sukkot or Rosh Hashanah.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my question to you Chaim, is why were the religious Jews of that time really against the Maccabes when Matityahu went so far as to stand up to those Greeks, re-dedicate the Temple and even kill a self-hating Jewish traitor?
You often attribute the refusal of many Jews to fight for what is right to their ghetto mentality. So how do you explain the behavior of the Jewish sages of Mesopotamia being that there was a sovereign Israel, thanks to the Maccabes, and the Temple was back in Jewish hands?
Also, being that it's Channukah, can you please explain for us once again why the Books of the Maccabes were never made part of the Jewish Bible. Italian Zionist asked you about it a while ago. But I would love it if you could elaborate once more.
Thank you very much.

Shalom Chaim,
In a story that CNN, the Communist News Network, titled " Jewish settlers blamed over mosque attack", there was one specific quote that was attention getting:
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/12/11/mosque.west.bank/
Settler leader Dany Dayan -- chairman of the Yesha Council, a group of Jewish municipal councils from the West Bank -- told CNN, "I hope that Israeli police will uncover the perpetrators whoever they are and will bring them to trial. This act is wrong and foolish. If this act was carried out by a Jew it fills me with great shame."
Clearly, this seems to be yet another illustration of what you have mentioned many times before in that the Yesha Council " leadership " is representing the Israeli government, not the heroic Jews in Judea and Samaria. Exhibit A was their recommendations were a substantial reason why the resistance in Gaza in 2005 was minimal at best and as a result, the Israeli Government was able to expel the Jews from Gaza.
My question is as follows. Being that Dany Dayan and the Yesha Council " leadership " aren't representing the best interests of the Jews in Judea and Samaria and have a horrible track record in general, is it feasible / realistic for the Jews of Judea and Samaria to elect leadership that would replace the Yesha Council? Leadership that would truly do what it takes to make sure that the Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria increases?
Thanks as always, eb22.

hey chaim 3 questions for you.
1) do you have to revize your 5 percent rightous blacks percentage to soething even less.??As tigers woods, whos had money thrown at him on the basis that hes a great "black role model" is nothing less than sexually perverse pimp.Heres a casual suggestion, perhaps 1 percent of blacks are rightous??
2) i do lower back exercises, do you have any mid/upper back exercises for good posture etc?
3) I try and emualte your diet and have pleanty of fish, fruit and vegatables. But sometimes you cannot always have a healthy diet in the day, especially when your on holiday. So i have 1 omega 3 pill, and one multi-vitimin pill a day. Am i wasting my time with these,or do you think they can help my omega 3 and nutrition count up even on a bad diet day??

Shalom Chaim,
There was an article that came out a few years ago, that explained, if Israel is reduced below her minimum size- defensible threshold, she will not be able to adequately maneuver troops, tanks, and protect her airfields, and population centers. She will become indefensible. That article emphasized that no matter how advanced the military technology is in Israel , technology can never compensate militarily for the loss of large swaths of territory.
What is your opinion on this?
Thanks

Dear Chaim,
Recently on the forums some of our good members have posted two interesting videos. One is of the wonderful Nadia Matar discussing several matters including the struggle for Shdema. The other was of the late Ayn Rand explaining why Israel should be supported. Nadia is an Orthodox Jew (as far as I know) and Ayn Rand was an ardent atheist. Oddly enough these two individuals coming from entirely different mindsets and philosophies came to the same conclusion.
They defined the struggle (my words not theirs) as a clash between civilization and savagery. I think that is the best way to define the conflict. Jews are people who want to live, to prosper, to build a decent society and to a large degree have succeeded. Israel produces medical advances, computer technology and many other things that benefit mankind. In fact I read recently that Israel has the highest rate per capita of start up technology companies. Not bad for a nation that began as a dream of socialists.
The Arabs on the other hand are bringing innovations such as suicide bombers and honor killings. Girls who are raped by family members are put to death to restore the family's honor. If one side or the other is going to expand which side would you prefer.
While the Biblical argument is fine, I think it is important to add in the practical tangible argument. I think we should rub this argument into the faces (in a nice way) of some groups we might find distasteful. Homosexuals should be the strongest supporters of Israel on the planet. How do they think they would be treated in a Palestinian State? Even if many Jews do not approve of their lifestyle we are not murdering them. Same with feminists. They should be praying ten times per day that Islamists never get near them and should be more pro Jewish than we are. More improtantly I think this argument will resonate with the average American and hopefully with Jewish Israelis.

Shalom Chaim,
the following was said about the Copenhagen Climate Change conference in a leading right-wing Hindu newspaper
"Neither Gore’s diet nor his travel, arrangements reveal any real concern for the climate. Rather, they show the direction of another interest: the selling of expensive "green" technologies to the poorer countries, technologies produced by companies whose shareholder lists would be revealing. All too many Climate Warriors are smiling all the way to the bank, as companies they have invested in get the benefit of the measures they propose."
I want your thoughts on this.

Greetings Chaim. You had mentioned in the past that it's a good idea to wash vegetables/fruits with soap and water. I usually do this anyway when I get apples, oranges, potatoes. squash, or other hard fruits or vegetables. However with softer things like grapes or broccoli it's hard to do that and I've just washed them in water, which I really don't think kills all the germs on the outside. What would you recommend to wash those other items?

Chaim,
I was wondering if the Greek Orthoox church has had a history of antisemitism. I know that the Crusaders were mercilous against the greek orthodox during the crusades. Can you recall any specific instances of pogroms that the greek christian orthodox church has made against the Jews?
PS Hope you've recovered from your fever. You should take oil of oregano capsules for flu or a cold. It's a ral miracle cure. I haven't gotten sick in 18 months since I've been taking them.

Shalom brother Chaim,
Why do you think the Hollywood movie studios always make movies nowadays which promote and glorify evil while demonizing and attacking everything which is decent, wholesome and good? I once saw a well known Hollywood movie producer admit to a reporter that the vast majority of today's movies promote filth,glorify evil and whitewash America's enemies but blamed the American people for it by saying:
"Most of the American people only want to see these kinds of movies.Look at how what you would call 'wholesome movies' practically always flop at the box office".
So are the Hollywood movie studios to blame or the American people? Are today's movies [and our political leaders] a reflection of the moral and spiritual decline of the American people? Do you think today's movies and computer games have a negative influence on people's behavior?
If you were to become PM of Israel, what would be your policy on the kind of entertainment that Israeli Jews could watch?
PS: What is your opinion of the late Johnny Carson and his influence on American popular culture: good or bad? Did you ever watch The Tonight Show while growing up and did you ever get a laugh out of his comedy sketches with characters such as Karnak the Magnificent, Art Fern and Aunt Blabby?
I will be making a video of your answer.
G-d bless you and your loved ones.
