Note To All Posters: Only one post per person is permitted. Please make it a single, short question.

Chaim would love to answer all of your great questions but (unfortunately due to the number of questions and time constraints), if there is more than one short question, it will have to be moved to The Future Ask JTF Section. We apologize for this inconvenience and only wish that every person has a chance to be heard on the show.

Or course, comments not directed to Chaim will be moved into a separate thread under The General Discussion.

Chaim has stated that only one short question or comment per poster will be answered. Please remember that even with these rules, the program is over 2 hours long every week! If you want to post a longer question, unfortunately, Chaim may or may not be able to answer it in it's entirety. In this case, you may copy and paste parts of your question for the following week.

Thank you for your kindness and respect regarding these rules.

Chodesh Tov and Chag Yom Yerushalayim Sameach,

Moadim LeSimcha LeGeulah Shelemah!

I think 5 Iyar can be celebrating the victory of The Etzel and Lechi over England but the miracle we celebrate is the victory over The Arabs. Al HaNissim mentions Arabs but not The British. 5 Iyar wasn't the end of the war. There was fighting for half a year before and about a year afterwards. So 5 Iyar commemorates the turning point when we became independent and fought as an independent state. But perhaps Al HaNissim should be amended to mention Rashut HaAnglit (HaBritit) HaRashat instead of Arav HaRasha. Do you like this idea?

Yacov Menashe Ben Rachamim,
Chief Administrator.

I'm posting this for Yacov Menashe Ben Rachamim.

Please read the entire following comment out loud. I know you need Rabbinic approval but comment afterwards on what you think of my proposal it if it was up to you.

I think we should move up Yom HaZikaron to Thursday when 5 Iyar is Friday or Shabbat following the precedence of when we move up a fast day before a festival to Thursday such as The Fast of Esther and The Fast of Firstborn when it would have fallen on Shabbat. If 5 Iyar is a Friday, the religious aspects should be on Friday with the government ceremonies moved a day early or moved to Sunday. As it is now, Yom Ha'Atzmaut is only actually observed on 5 Iyar when it falls on a Wednesday. As of 2004, if it is on a Monday, it is moved to Tuesday so Yom HaZikaron won't be on Motza'ei Shabbat but that can be solved by starting the ceremonies late after Shabbat.

Dear Chaim,

Since Jewish matchmakers are so good at what they do, why don't you go to one? You have said that you want to get married and have kids.

Thanks,
David Ben Ze'ev Aryeh.

Rubystars:
Greetings Chaim. Do you think that other nations besides the Jews were also created with a certain purpose in mind for their people to contribute to the world?

Hello Chaim,
We already saw how that nazi swine Frank Weltner distorts history and tries to blame the Jews for the Armenian Genocide.
He made a video on zootube and I'm glad his account has been suspended.
However, there are many people [not historians] but ordinary ignorant people who hold Frank Weltners views that Mustafa Rataturk and Talat Pasha were Jewish Zionists.
Those people ignore the fact that those Ottoman leaders were MUSLIMS and not JEWS.

My question is,
how important is it for Jews and righteous gentiles to know the historical facts about those Ottoman leaders' NOT being Jews? How can we expose the lies and show Christian Armenians and Greeks and other victims of muslim turks that Jews weren't the culprits and reduce the number of Jew haters among those Christians? Have you ever made a video response to Frank Weltner's accusations?

Best Wishes.
