habiru:
What do you think of the unfortunate matzav regarding inter-jewish rivalry between ashkenazim an sefardim and between national -religous and haredim.

Rabbi Kahane was the only one whose movement succeeded in uniting all these groups. In fact Kach's core supporters were all poor Mizrachim from development towns. In general Rav Kahane felt very close to mizrachim, many of his closest friends and confidantes both in brooklyn (like Joseph churba and calderon) and in israel were mizrachi Jews , why do you think that is?

Also I have a friend who calls himself a real kahanist but he absolutely hates mizrachim, he compares them to shvartza. I tried to talk him out of his meshugaas but to no avail. He rpobably had some bad experiences in israel with a mizrachi jew and now he hates them all.

Hello Chaim,

Hope all is well and that you had a great week.  We just had the NYC marathon.  Maybe you could run it one of these years G-d willing, as I know you love fitness.  Anyway, on to the questions.  I was wondering if you could remember a singular moment that compelled you to join JDL and Meir Kahane's movement at such a young age, age 14 I believe.  Were you religious beforehand?  What drew you to the movement?  How did your views change?

Also, if you have time, I would like to know what your first course of action would be if, G-d willing, your are one day allowed to move to Israel.  No doubt the Jewish homeland would immediately become an even better place with your presence.  Take care until next week.

Mishmaat:
!שלוֹם חיים

On one particular Hebrew program you didn't wear your trademark cap. Do you wear kippah? I think I'm one of the many who find your impersonations of shvartzes to be hilarious. I was wondering if it ever hurt your vocal chords whenever you mock Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton? Also, you've said in the past that you never rehearse for the shows. Do you do a lot of improv?

Kol tuv.

Shalom, Chaim!

The historian known to us today as Josephus wrote a detailed eye-witness history of the Fall of the Second Temple in Jerusalem to the Romans, in his classic work History of the Jews.

In it, he mentions that our Temple High Priests retained several skeletons of the races of Canaanite giants whom were wiped out by the Children Of Israel, and would display them as proof that our Scriptures were true.

King Og of Bashan was a giant ruling the area of Golan & southern Lebanon.

The ancient ruins of Baalbek in south Lebanon, as well as a structure in Golan which resembles the famous Stonehenge monument, are constructed of the largest known precision cut and precisely laid cut stones on Earth; so large and so massively heavy, that to this very day no construction companies or architects have ever been capable of explaining how such structures could have been built.

My question:  To your knowledge, are there any Talmudic or other Jewish commentaries which comment on the origins of these structures, or who built them?

With highest regards,

KnightsofEurope:
Hello Chaim,

You have spoken in the past about the need to form a political party in this country. You mentioned for instance a possible "End Foreign Aid Party". Do you think this is the best route, or is attempting to win control of an existing major party the better course. I for one think an entirely new party is needed, and that work on it should begin in earnest immediately. What are your thoughts?

Good Wishes,

Knight of Europe
