Ask JTF For January 20 Broadcast
Rubystars:
One day I was trying to ask some questions about the Talmud of a Jewish guy in a chat room with whom I had several conversations with previously which I felt were interesting and fun. I didn't say anything that could be taken as offensive that I knew of. I was just asking if he could help me understand some parts of it. He got really upset and told me it was none of my business and I shouldn't be asking about it. Is there some kind of rule or Jewish religious belief that says only Jews should read, study, or have access to the Talmud? I'm interested in learning about different religions.
Zionist Revolutionary:
Dear Chaim, could you please do a show on how phony "conservative" television and radio hosts are destroying the conservative movement, and are the reason that we are in this horrible position today?
Hail Columbia:
Dear Chaim,
What do you think about the ethnic cleansing of Italians from Yugoslavia (Istria, Fiume, Dalmatia) by Tito's partisans?
Trumpeldor:
Shalom Chaim
I enjoyed your spirited response to my question last week.
If JTF beliefs are entirely based on the Torah, and if Torah logic is perfect, then can you please justify your belief that certain philosophical principles can be neglected if they 'get in the way' of the message?
You dismissed the association fallacy and Strauss' reduction fallacy as irrelevant. However, contrary to what you implied, they were not formed out of thin air! Both are proven by calculus and by formal systems of deduction most commonly used by mathematicians, philosophers, linguists, and computer scientists.
Interestingly, you discredited Strauss as a self-hating Jew yet neglected to mention that he was one of the 20th century's foremost authorities on Maimonides, the ultimate Aristotelian rationalist. [see his How To Begin To Study The Guide of the Perplexed, 1963).

Dear Chaim,
When Al Aqsaa and the Dome of the Rock are removed from our Holy Temple Mount, what do you think the reaction of the Arab and/or Muslim Nazi World will be and how will you, as prime minister deal with it?
