Ask JTF For Purim Meshulash Sunday, March 23.

<< < (7/9) > >>

Ulli:
Dear Mr. ben Pesach,

thank you for answering my question last week.

My question this week is:

On March 15 Jeremiah Wright asked a reporter of fox in an interview how many books of Dr. James Cone he has read instead of answering his question.

Here is a quote of Wrights mentor Dr. James Cone [Charles A. Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology]:

>>>
The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of G-d which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless G-d is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love. [1]

What do you think about Dr. Cone and his statement?

Sincerly,

Ullrich

Zvulun Ben Moshe:
Shalom Chaim,

Should there be a certain architectural code that buildings in Israel must comply with?

Thank you.

Do you get drunk on Purim?  People also get drunk on Simchat Torah, is this a mitzvah too?  Do you get drunk on simchat torah?

Z"TZL LeOlam Voed:
Chaim: I believe that you are an armchair Israeli and a Monday-morning quarterback.  When you take the bus on Union Turnpike and Queens Boulevard going toward Fresh Meadows, you have virtually no chance that the person getting on after you will have a belt of several pounds of C4-Semtex Plastique surrounded by nails, sit next to the fuel tank and blow you to kingdom come; Israelis always have that trepidation.  It is easy to say, "Why don't they drive every stinking Muslim out"?; "Why don't they persecute, beat and if necessary, kill the Arabs until they beg to leave"?  Nevertheless, you don't have to live directly with the consequences; your seder, your pizzeria or your ice cream parlor on Union Turnpike or 108th Street in Forest Hills won't be blown up with you, your wife or child in it as a result of the Draconian solutions you propose.

Scriabin:
The previous poster is clearly a sadistic psychopath.

I'd be curious to read what JDL4ever edited out.

How can Noahides celebrate Sukkot nowadays without a Temple?
