Chaim would love to answer all of your great questions but (unfortunately due to the number of questions and time constraints), if there is more than one short question, it will have to be moved to the Future Ask JTF section. We apologize for this inconvenience and only wish that every person has a chance to be heard on the show.
Or course, comments not directed to Chaim will be moved into a separate thread under The General Discussion.
Chaim has stated that only one short question or comment per poster will be answered. Please remember that even with these rules, the program is over 2 hours long every week! If you want to post a longer question, unfortunately, Chaim may or may not be able to answer it in it's entirety. In this case, you may copy and paste parts of your question for the following week.
Thank you for your kindness and respect regarding these rules.

Shana Tova,
Thank you for answering my question about whether Israel's money will be backed by gold. If it won't be backed by gold, 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, am I right to assume that the Arabic writing on the money will be removed? Will the English writing remain?
Israel is also getting a new 2 shekel coin.

Thank you for commenting on my question about flight attendants. You said male flight attendants in general are homosexuals. Do you also think pilots are homosexual? If yes, does that include El Al pilots? Sometimes the voices on the airplane loud speaker coming from the cockpit sound like effeminate male voices. What is your general opinion of female flight attendants?

Dearest Chaim,
What think ye of the contrast between the Dems, who stick together even when the offenses are really egregious and unforgivable, and the Republicans, who ferociously turned on Sen. Larry Craig (whose crime, albeit perverse and disgusting, was minor and comical compared to the likes of Mel Reynolds [who slept with teenage campaign workers] or Barney Frank [who ran a brothel out of his house])? This cruel, cannibalistic backstabbing and infighting is one reason why the GOP is an endangered species and will likely go the way of the Whigs in twenty years at most.
It's just like the difference between the U.S. military, who sends soldiers accused of imaginary excessive force against terrorists to death row, and the Muslim Nazi armies, who bestow their highest honors to their most proficient butchers of civilians. I know you are not a Christian, but Jesus said "A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand" (Matthew 12:25), and it is true.
G-d bless you. Chaimfan

Dear Chaim, how did you get involved with Adir Zik zt'l?

Dear Chaim, Rav Bar Hayim and his organization is trying to put together a Nusach Eretz Yisrael based on the Talmud Yerushalmi, the writings of the Gaonim, and ancient prayer book fragments found in the Cairo Genizah.
He has already put out the Nusach for Rosh HaShanah.
Here's the link
http://machonshilo.org/PDF/Machon_Shilo_Rosh_HaShana_Tephilloth.pdf
If you get into Israel, will you switch over to that Nusach?
I know that I will.

Chaim Ben Pesach,
What do you think of a wikipedia campaign, like the youtube one? We go around editing wikipedia articles to fit our agenda and bring us members. We must be smart about it, because if we are not, they are moderated, and they WILL delete stupid edits. But if we do it properly, we could boost membership. We could even try to work your case of returning to Israel into wikipedia articles that deal with relevant causes.

Dear ChayimA follow up to last weeks question Chaim please
My Mum says I have a great chance of being ‘nad v’nad’ (excluded, no fixed abode, wandering, unstable in my living, unhappy etc.) and therefore return to my home environment in England, missing the social set up – as I am not married yet. So going as a married man is advisable, recommended and the only way for success!

Shalom and Greetings, Chaim!
I have often thought that Israeli Jews should adopt the stylings of dress which we in the West tend to associate with the Arabs -- long loose robes to keep the body cool in the desert environment, and decorative headress to protect the exposed head from the damaging sunrays as well as for protection from sandstorms, etc...
While we frequently make fun of "ragheads" and "towelheads" (and for good reason), it does make sense that one's fashion for dress should reflect a peoples' adaptation to their unique geography and climate.
In addition, the "European" styled shirts and trousers of their Jewish Israeli neighbors, have helped to fuel the fears of the indigenous non-Jewish peoples of the Middle East, however incorrectly, that they were being "invaded" by an alien culture for nefarious purposes.
Perhaps the Israeli Jews will, as time progresses, adopt a more "Judaean" style of dress as worn by our ancestors of old; more completely assimmilating into our own home environment?
Your thoughts please.

Shalom Chaim and Thank you as always for your hard work and answering my questions.
It seems when self-hating "Peace Now" Jews step all over righteous Jews, the righteous Jews never really fight back? If you look at all the defeats righteous Jews have face it is not because of the Muslims directly, but because of the self-hating "Peace Now" Jews who enable the Muslims to do what they do. Knowing this shouldn't righteous Jews actively stop "Peace Now" Jews. Do to them what they do to us if you know what I mean.

Dear Chaim,
Thank you as always for taking the time to answer my questions as detailed as possible in a short amount of time. My answer to your questions you asked me last week is no, I am not Jewish. I have always had an affinity for Judaism and my exposure to the Kahanist message only draws me even closer to it. I would like to eventually convert to Judaism, learn Hebrew and visit Israel.
After the 2nd world war, HaShem brought about many miracles and fulfilled his promises that anyone can find in the Tanach. The recreation of the state of Israel, the victories against the muslim nazi terrorist savages, etc.
Do you think there should be a national day of prayer in Israel to give thanks
and praise to HaShem for all that He has done and continues to do for the Jews and for Israel?

How do you feel about Israel's law that those who are studying Torah are not obligated to go to the army? Many decent zionist non-religious Israelis rightfully resent this and, unfortunately, some of them end up despising religion even more. What's the best solution in eliminating this resentment? What can I personally tell secular Israelis to not resent their religious brothers and sisters and, vice versa, the yeshiva student who wishes to study in order to not go to the army for fear of death during battle?

Shalom Chaim,
I'm new to this forum and I am really enjoying JTF. Thanks for all your hard work for the cause of the Jewish people, and for being an ally to righteous Gentiles.
My question concerns economics. I understand that if elected Prime Minister of Israel, you will push for a society that conforms as closely as possible to the Torah. I was wondering what a Torah-true economic system would look like. I know that people would have property, but also there is the concept of sharing wealth with the poor, not charging interest, etc. How does it all fit together?
Respectfully,
DanBenNoah

Thanks Chaim for your words of support last week. The cause of JTF is the only thing that keeps me going at times.
The Bible seems to make reference to a fictitious nation confronting Israel. Do you think it refers to the fictitious Pal___ne and what is meant below by the phrase "worshipping a non-G-d"?
"They have provoked me to jealously by worshipping a non-G-d, angered me with their vanities. I will provoke them with a non-nation; anger them with a foolish nation (Deuteronomy 32:21)."

What is your opinion of Menachem Elon and the Mishpat Ivri movement?

Hello Chaim,
Thank you for answering me last week about the lessons of 911, and how this country learned nothing. My other part to this is that many citizens are treating 911 like it is ancient history. And they know Iran is building nuclear weapons but they are not loud to their elected officials. They are more interested in Paris Hilton and these other nitwits like Britney Spears then what this country is going to face if this country isn't waking up. Iran won't be able to fire from there to hear but with our loose border policies any Muslim can sneak in and blend himself with a Mexican. So we giving the green light for illegals and through that Muslims sneak in. Muslims are the bullies and the United States the worlds strongest nation crawls to the bully it is sickening.

Dear Chaim,
**********************************************************
I have removed my initial question since you answered it in one of last week’s videos, for which I thank you.
**********************************************************
Do you know who holds the copyright on Rabbi Kahane's books?
There is a way to set up an online store and sell books, DVDs etc.
What do you think?

Dear Chaim,
What do you think about Switzerland? Yacov Menashe also was wondering what you think of the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland since Northern Italians came up in a discussion of the skin tone of Italians. Do you like the Italian-speaking Swiss just like you like the Italians in Italy?
-
dear chaim,
in the past when i have been to israel i have seen many anti zionist hassidim in places such as meah shearim. when beazrat hashem a kahanist government takes control in israel what will be done to them since they are un patriotic and dont really contribute to society
-
Dear Chaim,
Long time listener, and I'm with you all the way!
Have you considered going on Arutz Sheva, both the English and Hebrew shows to publicize your case to get into Israel? I think this is a quick way to reach many like- minded Israelis, as well as many other Americans, who are familiar with Arutz Sheva, but not JTF. I don't know how popular Tamar Yonah is, but I listened to to her interviewing you, and she appeared to be on your side. Plus, she said she worked With Rabbi Kahane. Perhaps some other hosts would have you on as well. Strike hard while the iron is hot!
Sincerely,
The Shadow

Why have the majority of Ashkenazi Jews always been secular and even anti-religious in comparison to Sepharadic Jews?

Hi Chaim,
I'm really glad you decided to make a number of YT videos supporting the Serbian People... I can see many have responded to us positively. My family comes from the former Yugoslavia and I know how loyal the Serbian People are, even though I'm of Romain ancestry. How would a Kahanist government in Israel support Serbia if and when the WEST decides to sanction Serbian for resisting the demands of the Kosovo-Albanian Muslim Savages?
Thanks as always,
Dan

shalom Chaim, I feel like it's been ages since I've asked a question
here in the english ask JTF show,
it's funny considering the fact that this show was my first
interactive encounter with you back when I first joined the english forum.
I still remember how excited I was to hear you say my name,
and respond to my questions after being a passive listener for over a year or so..
wow, we've been through so much since those days...
well, I don't have a question per say but rather an idea we can implement,
both on the hebrew but especially the ENGLISH forum.
my idea is we create and grant a special and exclusive VIP rank to any paying member
(only those who have the 20$ p/month membership and would e-mail us some sort of validation to compare with our paypal account),
these VIP members would maybe have special perks such as posting up to 5 questions to ask jtf instead of only 1,
a shiny VIP rank under their nickname - and other enhanced abilities in the forum.
I think this would make a great incentive to join the paypal 20$ p/month plan,
I'd love to hear your 2 cents on this idea Chaim.
Shana tova and happy holidays to you chaim and all of our members,
we usually say bashana habaa beyerushalaym - "next year in jerusalem",
may this prayer come true for you soon.

Shalom Chaim,
I agree 100% with OZ77 and I could make this happen, Chaim. I think it would help the movement tremendously. OZ77 is so brilliant. We are so fortunate to have a person with such a high soul in our organization. What a genius!
Shabbat Shalom,

Hello dear Chaim, :)
First I would like to express how happy and excited I am to see a post of Oz77 here in this thread (like in the old days..).
Oz77 has always been an impressive person in every aspect, and his ideas were always a true demonstration of his ability to think two steps forward. His creativity and talent are the secret engine we have, that motivates and drives us fast forward both as a movement and as a forum.
Now- for my question this week:
You have said more than once that Russia is still an enemy of the United States. Russia is deriding The West and selling advanced weapons to the worst enemies of The Western World because she aspires to gain the power she once had back again.
Now I have recently heard a commentary on the royal national radio station here in Israel (Reshet Bei"t – Channel B) made by a University Professor, saying: "The more we approach the 'D-Day' – which is the day when Iran can produce a nuclear bomb – the more Russia will be forced to come to her senses and pick the right side for her,- which will reasonably be The Western World". So when the time comes, Russia will stop the little game she is playing and will cooperate with the United States and her allies against the Nazi countries that Bush uses to call "The Axis of Evil".
Do you agree with this point?
Thank you and Shana Tova! :-)

Dear Chaim,
With regards to awakening Europeans Jews and Gentiles to the "Islamic Invasion",what advice can you give us,what should we strive to do to counter the spread of this vile Occult.
-
Chaim, neither you and your supporters should judge me or anyone else for that matter on a superficial basis. For example, did you know that I bless the House of Israel? I do so by blessing the Daughters of Israel and I bless them by admiring them through such websites as [un-tzniut swimsuit website deleted] etc.
Now I know that you oppose this because your secret wish is to become the Messiah and the Messiah must protect the Daughters of Israel from the glares of goyim such as myself but...
If these girls aren't going to keep the mitzvot anyway, then can't those bachelors (such as myself) who harbor no messianic ambitions enjoy the s*xual urges G-d gave us?
-
Chaim,
Why does JTF support countries like Greece and India if they were two countries that voted against the Balfour declaration that gave Jews homeland in Eretz Israel?
p.S. I have nothing against Greece and India, just want to know why JTF supports them.

Shalom Chaim,
Haaretz editor and board member Danny Rubinstein declared that Israel is an “apartheid state” and that many at Haaretz agree with this claim. This statement was made before a "UN International Conference of Civil Society in Support of Israeli-Palestinian Peace". Afterwards, in a Conservative synagogue from Britain, he was offered the possibility to explain the context of his words in front of the local Jewish community, but he stubbornly stood by his statements.
Question: Is he an idiot, a traitor, or both? How come Haaretz is still the biggest newspaper in Israel? Are most Israelis suicidal?

Hello Dear Chaim,
Hope all is well. First, I would like to wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year. This week I have a question about JTF's main problem which has been raising money. I know one of the reasons we have had a hard time raising money is because many wealthy Liberal Jews are scared of the supposed controversial nature of JTF, which obviously I don't believe by the way. Anyway, I was wondering what you thought of counteracting this by creating a separate wing of JTF under the banner of a new name, one that wouldn't mention any ties to JTF. This sub-organization could seek to raise money for the cause indirectly. We could say we were trying to raise money just for Israel or general Jewish causes and stay clear of any controversial issues whatsoever (race, settlements and Jewish land, politics, etc.). By remaining vague, we might be able to raise more money and then we could use these funds for the actual JTF causes at hand. The self-hating Jews and Liberals just wouldn't know our true intentions. It wouldn't be deception, just a convenient Robin Hood type vagueness. Until next week, G-d willing. All the best.

Shalom Chaim,
I read a couple of weeks ago that Jimmy Carter's friend, national security adviser and influential Democrat, Zbignewi Brzezinski, is supporting Barack Obama for president. In his attempts to bring down Hillary, he's actually stated that being a "First Lady" does not prepare someone to be president nor does it give someone good experience.
I found an article from the USA Today that contains the names of "foreign-policy" advisers.
Brzezinski is an "informal" adviser to Barack. He also has Anthony Lake (former national security adviser to Bill Clinton), Ivo Daadler (Clinton adviser on Europe), Greg Craig (Albright adviser and Clinton White House counsel) and Susan Rice (Clinton adviser and former assistant secretary of state), all former advisers to Bill Clinton.
Hillary's team includes her husband, Richard Holbrooke, Madeleine Albright, Sandy Berger and Strobe Talbott, who is a former deputy secretary of state.
McCain has Kissinger, George Schultz and Lawrence Eagleburger
Giuliani is being counseled by a former State Department foreign policy adviser named Christopher Hill. Giuliani also has Norman Podhoretz who seems to recognize the threat of Iran and Giuliani also has Martin Kramer, who has been very critical of Islam. Kramer is also against the idea of trying to democratize the "Middle East." So Giuliani seems to have a variety of viewpoints.
Steven Schrage, a former State Department international law specialist, is advising Republican Mitt Romney. I'm not sure yet who else Romney has.
Derek Chollet, who was John Edwards' foreign policy adviser when the Democrat served in the Senate, is now a key adviser in Edwards' campaign.
I haven't found information about Fred Thompson yet.
I'm still hoping Duncan Hunter could become competitive enough for a serious challenge for the GOP nomination but especially with so many primaries having been moved up, it will be a long-shot.

Shalom Chaim,
I hope you saw the topic about me and the karatie beliefs, and that now I don't think that the Karaties are right in their way of veiw .
And my question for this week is :
Do you think that all Jews are ethniclly Jewish ?
If you do, why does Ashkenazi Jews and Sfardic Jews are different ?
-
Dear Chaim,
Well - last week was my first comment - now I'm back to my inevitable weekly "What do you think of...?" question. So - here goes:
What do you think of the "Bible Code," or the theory that by searching for patterns in the letters of the Torah you can find hidden messages. The people researching it have supposedly found references to the assassination of the traitor Rabin YS"V, 9/11 and many other things. Obviously, all the secrets of the world are hidden in our holy Torah, but is this the way to find them?
Thanks as always,
Eitan

Dear Chaim,
I think your criticism of Germany today is misplaced. Germany is one of the best friends that Israel has in Europe. Germany is Israel’s largest European trading partner, it cooperates closely with Israel in the area of defense, intelligence and hi-tech R&D.
Newest addition to Israel’s navy are the latest German Dolphin-class submarines. Germany also supplied Israel with Mig-29 & T-72 tanks from GDR stock. The technical analysis of the seeker technology and engine solution of the Soviet missile AA-11, resulted in the development of the Israeli Python-4 and German IRIS-T air-to-air missile.
Latest Merkava MK 4 tank uses German 400 MTU-engines with Renk transmissions. Merkava’s 120mm smooth bore lethal gun was developed by German company Rheinmetall.
Israel is a trading nation and, as important, Germany is a key to trading and cooperating with Europe.
The problem is not that Germany supports Israel suicidal policies - all countries do. The problem is that the voting majority of Israeli Jews do. You can not expect Germans to be more pro-Israel than Jews who live there.

Shana Tova Chaim,
What ethnic background was Rav Meir Kahane, ZT"L, HY"D? Was he an Ashkenazi? I read somewhere that he was of Lithuanian descent. May you clarify this for me?
As always your a gentleman and a scholar.
Next year in Jerusalem!
