Ben Yehuda:
Chaim,

A couple weeks ago the story of Noah and Ham was raised, and you gave an explanation which I found quite shocking although, admittedly, I am no Torah scholar. It just seemed too bizarre [someone homosexually raping their father]. So I started to research the topic and came upon another explanation in which "uncovering one's nakedness" is also used to indicate sexual relations, but rather was a transgression against Noah's wife or concubine. The support for this meaning is the following "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness. (Lev. 18:8 )" This explanation would also explain the curse upon Canaan for it is mentioned that Ham is the father of Canaan precisely when describing this sin; it is implied that Canaan is the son of Ham via his transgression with Noah's mate. Have you heard this explanation before; if not, could you ask a Rabbi who's opinion you respect?

A link to the entire explanation is the following: http://www.lumengentleman.com/content.asp?id=158

Thank you again.

Dear Chaim, why is everything nowadays foreign-made? Fewer products are being made here in the US. Like for example you have toys and video game consoles that say "Made in China" television sets that say "Made in Mexico" or shoes that say "Made in Vietnam." So my question is why almost none of these products say "Made in America"?

Hello Chaim,
if I got it right you would like to make Sinai and the Golan Heights a part of the state of Israel.

Is it necessary for security reasons only or are there also religious issues behind this idea?

Thanks for your time,

Greetings Chaim. I was wondering if you see the Rothschilds and Bildebergers as threats to Western civilization and/or to Israel's survival, and if so what should be done to stop them? You said conspiracy theorists usually get things wrong, but I'm not sure what to think about these people in particular.

IslamIsCancer:
Hello Chaim,
When you become the PM of Israel, I'm sure you will make it an Islam-free zone where Korans and mosques and muezzins are banned for good.
After this is done, will you allow atheists, Christians, Hindus or Buddhists live in Israel? Will you allow Jews to marry non-Jews?
Or will you pass laws that forbid interreligious marriages. Not that I have the right to tell you how to run your own country but I have some relatives and acquaintances in different countries that married Jewish men and women and they are very happy families.
Thanks for answering my previous questions  O0
