Shalom Mr Ben Pesach,

In Shemoth 30:23 one of the constituents of the sacred anointing oil is “qeneh bosem”, what is this, who said so and where? There are etymologists who say that “qeneh bosem was cannabis”, however compared to the words of the Sages the words of so called academics are worthless.

Toda rabba

Daniel:
Shalom Chaim. How are you? I apologize for being away for so long. I've been extremely busy with work and taking some intense graduate courses. I'm still taking courses now, but with being off of work for the summer (since I'm a teacher), I do have a lot more free time.

My question for this week:  If Rabbi Kahane were to look down from heaven and see all the infighting and splintering that is taking place between his supporters, how do you think he would feel about this? Doesn't all this infighting and splintering also demonstrate that even among Kahane supporters the old adage of, "Two Jews, three opinions, five synagogues, and 17 different newspapers"?

Manch:
Shalom Chaim,

A bit of friendly criticism.

I was always bewildered by the immature or insane nature of questions that used to open your show. I know that you sense of loyalty prevented you from making any changes, however obvious they appeared to all of us, including yourself. I think that this hurt the movement! I had a feedback form couple of friends who I asked to listen to the show and they were completely turned off and tuned out right after hearing questions about whether you like cats or had cats or want to have a tabby or are planning to have one in Israel or you are in favour of having cats and birds in the same room!  :o

As a leader, you must be able to make a decision that are not only unpopular (that is not very difficult) but also decisions that are difficult ones, such as, obviously, this one would be - where your sense of loyalty and gratitude clashed with what is needed and what is right. Are you lacking such a must-have for a leader quality? Are you not tough or "ruthless" enough to develop this movement to its full potential?  I think you are a bit soft - why did you take, week after week, incessant troll-like questions about homo-sexuality from a guest of the forum (tonycali99) who, I suspect, was mocking you and us?!
I hope that you can learn from this and make adequate changes. Perhaps a good business book on leadership (Tramp wrote a few) would be useful.

I am also at fault for not raising my objection to Yakov earlier.

Stay strong and focused!
Manch

Shamgar:
Shalom,

Do you see that there is a role for the righteous gentile partnering and supporting the Jews. I know that many on this forum seem to accomodate/tolerate our presence on the forum, but all seem to doubt our sincerity and belief in both the Tanach and New Testament commanding support for Israel and God's sacred plan.

Best regards

Hello Chaim,

where does Israel get oil from and what would a Kahanist Israeli government do to get oil until it would be possible to have an ecomomy being able to operate without it?
After all, I guess the boycott would be more severe than today.

Many regards,
2honest
