Ask JTF For Yom Chamishi Shel Hanukkah, Erev Rosh Chodesh Tevet, Sunday, December 9.
Alexander:
Hello Chaim,
I believe you have said in the past that what makes someone Jewish is following all the laws of the Torah. Since these were recorded by Moses, I was wondering what was it that identified people as Jews from the time of Abraham before the laws of the Torah were established.
Thanks for all your great work,
Alexander

Shalom Chaim,
The president of the organization says the following on the organization's webpage: " Jews support democrats because democrats fight for Jewish values."
That declaration bothers me.
That sounds like such an ignorant declaration. If some Jews want to support Democrat candidates, then that's their decision. However, why do they have to LIE about it? To justify their support of candidates on claims that the candidates they support "fight for Jewish values" is wrong.
The National Jewish Democrat Council defends Democrats as if it's a religion.
They always defend Democrats regardless of their actions.
They never criticize Hillary.
There are politicians from both parties who are awful, but they never criticize (with the exception of Jimmy Carter for a book he wrote) any of the Democrats.
I think the NJDC supports (not financially) moveon.org and the NJDC always criticizes real conservatives.
To quote Ira Forman, the president of the NJDC:
"Jewish voters should take comfort in knowing that MoveOn.org is not a haven for anti-Semitism and the organization will renounce and remove any postings of the sort. Leave it to Republicans to not allow the truth to get in the way of campaigning. Sincerely, Ira Forman Executive Director National Jewish Democratic Council"
Ira Forman is clearly a liar.
JTF criticizes people from both political parties on issues. JTF is fair when critiquing.

Happy Chanukah, Chaim! Like you, I agree that Huckabee is the best on Israel and energy independence and I am favoring him more than anyone else at this point. But when it comes to who has the best chance of beating Hillary, I tend to think that Guiliani may have more of a chance of winning. With any other republican nominee, New York will most likely automatically go to Hillary. But if Guiliani becomes the nominee, New York will then become a battleground state. That will certainly make things more interesting and could make the election a lot closer.

Hi Chaim
Do you think the following is funny, or just stupid? According to the Quran, Moses was initially sent to Pharaoh, not to ask him to let the Jews go, but to try and convert him.
Shalom

Shalom Chaim,
Glad to be back and I missed all of you too. Thank you for welcoming me back. My question for this week is about the Samaritans.
How do the Jews view the Samaritans who claim that the authentic place of worship is in Mount Gerizim instead of Jerusalem. They also claim to trace their priestly lineage to Aaron using DNA tests. I also read that the PLO terrorist reigime has given them minority status but the Arabs seem to have revoked the only seat reserved for the Samaritans in the "palestinan legislative council" elections.
Thanks!
Christian Zionist
