Ask JTF For Yom Sheni Shel Hanukkah, Sunday, December 17.

<< < (3/6) > >>

YESHA:
-First of all the MP3’s and the Windows Media Format files are brilliant – thank you.
-Secondly, Happy Chanukah – hoping you will not be eating too many Sufganiot, Bundashkanyah or Latkes!

-On to last week’s show: You are right!!! Stamford Hill is in Hackney – you are very knowledgeable about London.     You answered my question last week very well, Thank you. Hello Chaim, I wonder how to put this to you. I will try my best.

-My question this week: In the past we have seen leaders, politicians, activists assassinated /killed for speaking out or being controversial. I am referring in main part to the Late Rabbi Meir David Kahane, may G-d avenge his blood and also – not on the same scale, Tourism Minister [T’kuma] Rechavam [Ghandi] Ze’evi, several years ago. More topical is the killing in Lebanon of Minister Pierre Gemal.

Also murdered were, Lehavidil, John F. Kennedy, and Ghandi in India and Martin Luther King in the U.S. My question is how, besides Hishtadlut, can we protect heroic and good individuals - and not deter them because of the vulnerability these people face from Arab Muslim Nazi fascists. We see nasty, evil pieces of scum, like George Galloway, Saddam Hussein, Jesse Jackson, Fidel Castro, Ehud Olmert, Ehud Barach, Shimon Paresite, Yossi Beilin, Yossi Sarid, Jack Straw MP, Tony Benn MP, Michael Jackson, Yasser Arab-fat, Stalin, Marx, Lenin, Pervez Musharaf, Mahmoud Adolfinijad, Abdel Nasser, Yitzchak Rabin, Hitler y”svz, Assad in Syria and British Deputy Prime Minister [late 60s] John Prescott - a fat and thick pig!!!

The list is endless –– they live long and escape all assassination attempts, Cuba’s Castro has survived more than 600 in nearly then 50 years!!!
Overall, the evil ones survive assassination attempts; whilst the majority of the good people are assassinated ‘successfully’.

Shalom Chaim kol tuv,

It's been quite a while since I've last posted, hopefully you remember me! I've been very busy and had little time to come on the site at all.. but I'm in a bit of a problem, and I feel that you can be of great assistance.

I've mentioned before that I've wanted to join the military (Air Force), and you did say it was better if I didn't, and I do agree.. but I want to become a senator (maybe more), and I do feel if I work in intelligence as a Farsi and/or Arabic interpreter, I can eventually join the CIA, gain experiance with heads of state in that field, and eventually run for office. Now even though I've said that in one sentence, obviously it will be a long road, but I feel it's the road I should take for my ultimate goal. My father on the other hand, who runs a successful company and would like me to take over and work with my brother, dreads the day that I join the military and thinks it's a waist of time. He just puts his head down and says "Do what you feel will make you happy", but I can hear the nervousness in his voice thinking that I'm throwing my life away. This military beginning will not make me tons of money, but in the end, I will end up fighting for my country in a big way, but I guess he doesn't understand that. I want to do this, but I feel I'm breaking my father's heart, and I really don't know how to approach this.
What do you think about my situation? You're a brave man, what would you say or do if you were in my shoes?

p.s I don't mean to put any pressure on you, I just admire your intellect and courage.. so it's only natural for me to want your opinion.

Toda raba
ve chag Hanukkah Sameach!

Vito

Dear Chaim,

Are you a Yankees fan or a Mets fan? If not now have you ever been one being that you are a native NYer? I'm from Queens but grew up a Yankees fan.

During the holidays of Succoth, can the Ushpizin be Gentiles or only Jews?

Another question I wanted to ask is how much truth would you say is contained in the news stories and other media regarding Israel's "Mistreatment" of the so called "Palestinians?" The view you paint for me every week is that of a weak Israeli government too afraid of the international community to do what it needs to to survive. Everywhere else, including other alternative media with an Anti-New World Order and Anti-Globalist and Pro-American spin, Israel is portrayed is being this huge bully towards non Jews. I find alot of alternative media speaking out against the New World Order also speaking out against Zionism. It's a very confusing world to say the least.

Here are some questions on Judaism:

These might be stupid questions, but Is there a definite answer as to why we only eat animals who chew their cud and have split hooves and why we only eat fish with with fins and scales or is  the  only answer  "GOD told us to"?

Next question is why should we pray from a siddur which is written by people  and not from our own heart?  Wouldn't praying be more meaningful if it come from within and not from a siddur?

Ari:
Dear Chaim,

Hope the week finds you well as always.  Happy Hanukkah to you and yours.  I also was curious as to the exact date of your birthday.  I remember you mentioning that you have your 50th coming up soon and I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday at the appropriate time, along with many more until 120. 

This week, before I forget once again, I wanted to also thank David Ben Moshe for his contributions to the "Take Back America" show.  I'm sure I speak for all forum members when I say that he does a great job with the program and acts as a great counterpart to you on the broadcasts.  We appreciate everything he does for the movement and would love to see him drop by the forum if he ever has the chance.

A couple of quick questions for the week.  What do you think about the commercialization of Hanukkah?  I'm sure you'll do a great job on the Hannukah show (dedicated to Tzvi) explaining the beautiful religious merits of the holiday.  However, many secular Jews seem to justify the holiday as an extended party without paying attention to the true message. [Yacov Menaseh adds that this is because the politically correct morons try to compare it to Christmas as part of the "holiday season".]  In fact this week I even heard black Hanukkah "raps" played on the radio.  It's truly a disgrace.

This week I was also wondering if you could expand a little bit on your healthy diet and exercise habits.  Maybe you could give a sample of what you eat in a typical day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, how you space it out, and how you incorporate exercise into your daily routine.  I'm happy to report I have lost nearly 30 lbs. since you started the Q and A segment by following some of your healthy advice and hitting the gym in the evenings whenever I have a chance.  I'm almost at my goal weight, but I would like to keep it going and would greatly appreciate the advice.

Finally, in closing, I would like to point out the despicable Holocaust denial conference that went on in Iran this week.  It seemed to even generate some mainstream news coverage on channels like CNN, adding a sense of legitimacy to such a horror.  I believe the smelly, urine colored midget, Achmoud Achwaldinajaheb, or whatever the hell his name is, and Iran need to be dealt with as soon as possible.  They have openly threatened Israel and the right to a Jewish state on several occasions.  Obviously they need to be eliminated and Israel has to take the initial action before it is too late.  Any suggestions?

Again, thanks very much, Chaim.  Until next week.  All the best.
