Ben Yehuda:
Dear Chaim,

It seems to me that Menachem Begin was a great Jewish leader and a well-meaning and righteous one. Even so, it seems to me, he made some major mistakes. The surrender of the Sinai was probably his worst mistake. Secondly, after the Jews in Israel had won in 1948, I think he should not have deferred to Weizmann and Ben Gurion, but rather should have taken control himself, if this was possible. What are your thoughts concerning this? It seems that even heroes lose their way so often.

Once again thanks for all your answers.

Ambiorix:
Hi Chaim,

Will there be rich and poor people in the world when the Messiah comes?

Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Shalom Chaim,

What's your explanation as to why the American public has moved so much to the anti-Israel side over the past couple years? The candidate who vocally claimed to be pro-Israel, Mike Huckabee (whether he meant it or not), lost miserably. Opinion polls show majorities of Americans demanding Mideast "peace", leaders of both parties are boldly insisting upon negotiations favorable to Arabs, and not only are the three remaining candidates for president the most anti-Israel of the pool, but they are all trying to outdo each other in their anti-Zionism.

Just four years ago, even John Kerry (ys"vz) was pretending to support Israel very hard. Why has our national mood so changed in four years that voters demand anti-Israel policies like Euronazis do?

G-d bless you. Chaimfan

ItalianZionist:
Chaim,
  Please, please, please drop everything for a while and concentrate on finding a bride.  I saw a documentary on American Jews in their 40s trying to find young Jewish brides in Iran and the girls were laughing at them because they were too "old.". Before another day passes do all you can to meet someone(through connections in Israel or associates in America, or just going out on your own). Young women today are so damn picky. You either have to look like an actor or have tons of money. Please Chaim find someone who can have children before it's too late. Months turn into years, year into decades.

Shalom Chaim

Joseph was a victim of his brothers. So was Able with Cain; Issac with Ishmael; and Jacob with Esau.

All younger siblings...

I understand that in some families, adult siblings will have their differences and even quarral.  There are certain times that the younger brother should back down to keep the peace.  Is defending the honor of his parents one of those things he should also back down from?  A specific example of this is when the older brother is dating an evil Jewess/or shiksa and giving his parents heartache and yelling at them and telling them to mind their own business.  When the parents express this distress to the younger brother, should he intervene on their behalf and even defend his parents' honor (even if it means defaming his older brother) or should he stay out of it and not be his brother's keeper, so to speak? I'm convinced that in this case, he should defend his parent's honor protect his brother's soul.  Others will say, keeping the peace between the brothers is more important and certainly, defaming him is an absolute no-no in a situation like this.




Thank you for your help

Dr. Dan
