Ask JTF For Purim, March 4.

Christian Zionist:
Dear Chaim,

1. Do you know Rabbi Yekuthiel Eckstein of the "International Fellowship Of Christians And Jews".  He raises millions of dollars from both communities.  I personally do not like him because he defended islam's pedophile founder mohammed.  When the Southern Baptist Pastor Jerry Vines described mohammed as a "demon-possessed pedophile" Yekuthiel Eckstein immediately criticized Pastor Jerry Vines. Therefore I do not think that Rabbi Yekuthiel Eckstein is a sincere person.

2. In my opinion only you are the movement leader in the Jewish community who work with Christians.  Yekuthiel Eckstein, Gary Cooperberg, Esther Levens and others are not movement leaders like you.  They have their own projects.  I wish the Christian community hear more about you and support JTF.

Norman:
I have great respect for you too. I should also thank you for making me aware of the war of Black crime on White America, the evil of Communism, and the genius of super capitalism. Even before watching your shows, I was always suspicious of Islam because I noticed the closer someone gets to Islam the more likely he is to be a terrorist.

I read somewhere that you were a 14 year old junior when you dropped out of Jamaica high school. Did you get skipped a grade or two because a high school junior should be 15 or 16? Were there a lot of Blacks at Jamaica high school during your years of attendants because there are now.

How does Judaism describe the relationship between Cyrus the Great and the Jews? Is he considered a righteous gentile and was the Persian Empire blessed by G-d because of this?

Hello Chaim,
For about 8 years in the 90's I worked as a car service dispatcher in Kings Point, Great Neck, LI. As you are well aware this is one of the most affluent communities in the country. There is a big Iranian-Jewish presence there. I heard you once say that these people[Iranian-Jews] were examples of how Jewish intelligence and ingenuity can enable a person to immigrate to a foreign land and go from basically nothing and work themselves up to a point where they can become members of a wealthy, prosperous community like Great Neck. The implication was that these Iranian-Jews came here penniless. It was my understanding while working there, from things I overheard, from conversations I had with non-Iranian members of the community, etc. that most of these Iranian-Jews that lived there in fact were either high ranking people in the Shah's regime, or important, wealthy people that siphoned out most of the countries wealth once they got advanced warning of the impending Islamic revolution. What is the truth in this situation? I can say that I had alot of bad experiences with these Iranian-Jews who were very pushy,arrogant and seemed to have this attitude that they were above the law. All attributes that are generally not present in people who work hard and build great things from square one. The Iranian men in particular had a very bad habit of being particulary offensive to women that I had driving for me. In retrospect I have always had a real distaste for those people. Your comments, which seemed to be the exact opposite, intrigued me because you are someone who I think is very honest and quite perceptive. Secondly, I am SamanthaTheCat, I have several Youtube accounts already besides my director's account. Youtube has a 3 strike your out policy anyway. Get me the tapes, I'll get them posted one way or the other and I also can post them as complete shows on my google video account.

Hello Chaim,

I have to admit and proudly so JTF has inspired me deep to take a strong leadership role for younger Americans.  Being that I am still concidered young I am 31 to take that step to promote pride to Americans  that are in that age of early teens to their 30s that to be proud of who they are, where their ancestors came from and to never apologize for it.  I know this is a tough task cause we live in a society where the schools have lied to children.  Where they want to have kids believe that Martin Lucifer King was as important if not more so then George Washington.  But I want that role as you inspire young Jews I want to inspire young Christians, and I am sure a lot of Christians on this forum would join in as well as my Jewish brothers and sisters would as well.  How do we start this if you or anyone else may have suggestions to get this ball rolling.   Unfortunatly I am too young to know what America was like in the 30's, 40's and 50's but from what I read about it I want that America to be today's America for tomorrow's America.

If there is any gift to give I think this will be the one that will everlasting.

Dear Chaim,

I hope you are well.  You might please comment on the one (rather large) point that I make below.

I think that Jewish success is due to Jewish brains and not to the Torah.  I know you believe the opposite.  I do not deny that the Torah and the Talmud etc. are wondrous Books and I do not deny that those Books come from G-d.  The Talmud is the product of the greatest minds (maybe inspired by G-d), and not the other way around. 

I consider that the evidence of inborn brainpower is just too strong, especially in the Ashkenazim.  There are many ‘politically incorrect’ but scientifically correct studies showing that the Ashkenazim have an average IQ (115) that is as much above the average white IQ (100) as the average white IQ is above the average black IQ (85).  Ashkenazim appear to have slightly larger brain sizes. 

I think that the real secular importance of keeping the Torah is that it stops Jews of great ability from breaking off and becoming indifferent or even anti-Semitic.  Examples include Lev Bernstein who became Leon Trotsky and indirectly caused the deaths of thousands of Jews.  A rabbi told him, ‘The Trotskys will be the death of the Bronsteins.’

Even worse, Erich von Manstein was the son of an assimilated Levite (von Lewinski) and was adopted by a Gentile German military family.  He had all the ability of his Jewish blood relatives but no sense of loyalty to them.  He was by far the most effective of Hitler’s field marshals and his brilliant generalship allowed the Nazi regime two extra years to carry out the Holocaust.

The one and only counter-example to my argument seems to be Rabbi Akiva, who is said to have been born a Gentile but later became a learned Rabbi and martyr.

Surely you can leave open the possibility that Jewish ability is biological rather than cultural – it may be a chicken-and-egg argument but I think you would agree that it is better to be truthful than not to seek the truth for fear of being called ‘racist.’  What do you think?

Ihulim Levaviim from Noahide.  (I still listen every week.)
