Ask JTF For Motza'ei Shabbat, June 7, moved up a day due to Shavuot.
Ben Yehuda:
Dear Chaim,
Are you concerned that if you should finally be admitted to Israel, that the Israeli government might just arrest you and that you would never be heard from again? Is it possible that you may be more effective by speaking from the US where you still have the freedom to do so?
Shalom and G-d bless.

What can you say about the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution:
The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
It was meant to give Americans that served in th armed forces the right to vote, however, military service is not a requirement for people under the age of 21. The problem that I see is that most people in the 18-21 age group are college students rather than people enlisted in the armed forces. Those serving abroad in the armed forces have their votes counted afterwards since they need to be mailed in and because of registration deadlines and procedures, many in the armed forces don't always get the chance to vote when they are shipped abroad. Young people are the one's who are supporting Obama partially because they may have never had a job, never had to support themselves and don't understand the consequences of their actions.
Minuteman:
Dear Chaim,
This question is more social than political. I wanted to know what your opinion was about an individual I worked with several years ago and how it relates to society as a whole. This individual was a woman that had issues about her such as playing head games with men, acting interested in them one minute and uninterested the next. She used to act inappropriately at clubs and other places. There were even stories that she had accused men of stalking her; men that she had initially shown interest in. Do you think a person like this is evil or someone who is just suffering from some psychological disorder? And do you this kind of thing happens do to the moral decay of society?
Thank you
God Bless America, Israel, and the West

Dear Chaim,
What do you think would happen if there were a man running in the 2008 election who is a true right wing conservative Christian who has the same way of thinking like Rabbi Meir David Kahane.
Do you think the American people would vote for him and if they did how would the media treat him and what do you think would happen to America and the Western world
Thank you and G-D bless
The Shadow:
Dear Chairman:
How about raising money for JTF from a raffle with a car as a the grand prize? Our Temple did that about 20 years ago. You can have the drawing on You Tube, or some some other outlet. Use a profesional drawing machine to pick the winner. Assign everybody who purchases a ticket, with a special code number, for those who don't want their name announced if they win.
Post a trial balloon question: Would you be willing to purchase a ticket for $50.00 for a chance at winning a new car? At least we'll get a rough idea of how many people would be willing to purchase a ticket.
Even if you don't win, the money is going for a great cause.
Sincerely,
The Shadow
