Ask JTF For March 2 Broadcast

<< < (2/9) > >>

    Shalom Chaim.   


    First,  thank you very much for all your time and efforts with the JFT broadcasts and videos. 


    My question is as follows.     In U.S. Presidential primaries and the general election,   how much influence do you believe that Labor Union endorsements have on the voting decisions of their rank and file members?   

judeanoncapta:
Dear Chaim,


In thirty years, religious people will be the majority in Israel. But even if we take control of the Knesset, there are other powers that are unaffected by democracy. Meaning the Court system and the Media.

I am not trying to sound bombastic. I am completely serious when I say this. But I think that the "journalists" and the "Justices" will not give up their position no matter what laws you make. The Supreme Court will just strike down any law you make to limit or end it's power. I therefore think that we will not be able to get them out with taking them physically out of the courtroom unless they are either in handcuffs or in a coffin.

 Do you agree?

Tina Greco - Melbourne:
Dear Chaim,

This Year the Australian government said sorry, to the Australian Aboriginals, for the removal of their children from abuse, which was called the stolen generation. New Zealand now has seen fit to pressure their government in the same way.

Because now there is an international precedent, do you think with the strong US ties we have, it will influence US race relation policies?

Thank you

Scriabin:
Dear Chaim:

Why do people continue to write such long questions to you?

Shalom

Shalom Chaim

first from last week, this is the Mishna word for word: you don't have to read the whole thing out loud: well maybe just the part that i bolded.

Fourth Division Nezikin

Mishna 5-7:

5. Hillel said: keep not aloof from the congregation and trust not in thyself until the day of thy death, and judge not thy fellow until though art come to his place, and say not of a thing which cannot be understood that it will be understood in the end; and say not, When I have leisure I will study: per chance thou wilt never have leisure.

6. He used to say: A brutish man dreads not sin, and an ignorant man cannot be saintly, and the shame-fast man cannot learn, and the impatient man cannot teach, and he that engages overmuch in trade cannot become wise; and where there are no men strive to be a man.

7. Moreover he saw a skull floating on the face of the water and he said unto it, 'Because thou drownest they drowned thee and at the last they that drowned thee shall be drowned.'   He used to say: The more flesh the more worms; the more possessions the more care; the more women the more witchcrafts; the more bondwomen the more lewdness; the more bondmen the more thieving; the more study of the Law the more life; the more schooling the more wisdom; the more counsel the more understanding; the more righteousness the more peace.  If a man has gained a good name he has gained for himself; if he has gained himself words the Law has gained for himself life in the world to come.

-if you can't answer how the sentence in bold print should be applied to our lives and JTF as a movement at this moment, keep it in mind for next time and answer the following question instead:

Which is a better mitzva?  Us killing Amalekites (men, women, children, and livestock) OR Amalekites killing each other while we watch (with glee)?

Thank you

Dr. Dan
