Sarah:
Hello Chaim,

My neighbour, who happens to be jewish, passed away earlier this week, Edith Stern-may her soul rest in peace. She was a lovely old lady with an exceptional kind heart, almost family. The sad thing is, she doesn't have anyone. She lived by herself for the past 40 years and struggled with determination emotionally, to support herself. Her husband was persecuted in poland and passed away very young, she only has one nephew in America, who is coming over to organise a funeral. Since she doesn't know anyone much, i don't expect many people will attend it. My mum and I have been asked to come. The nephew however doesn't know that my mum is a muslim, since her name is Ruth. Would it be alright and respectful to attend the funeral or would it make things uncomfortable. This is what i hate about the world, the diversity.........
--Is she allowed to attend the funeral, step into the synagogue and pay her last repects? I see it more as a duty to this kind woman, who deserves respect.

2. Do you have any siblings or close relatives that are as active as you, in the JDL or take an interest in the JTF?

Thank you Chaim,

P.S. I showed some of your you tube videos once again to my class of fellow "muslim" pupils. They were shocked beyond words, at what bit  i don't know. Then they got angry and threw pens at the screen. Nice  or what? ;D...at least it sparked a response, which means its worthy.

I was so sad to learn that the NYC school system had killed your father. You are 100% right Chaim. Last week I gave a letter out to leave back a student. Now the parent is claiming that I cursed at him. Also the principal said that my work is "crap" in front of the children and faculty. The next day she spoke to me very kindly. She knows that a lawsuit for slander is coming. Randi Weingarten has surprisingly set a date to talk to us face to face about this creature. Any suggestions? Thanks

Shalom Chaim, kol tuv..

I understand your concerns about wanting me to win rather than be known as a looser, but I disagree with you on this matter. Being 22, the advantage I have is to gain experiance. By 32, I would have 10 years experiance already in running for local politics, whether I win or not. It will only get my name out there the more I try. I haven't finished studying yet.. and that's the other problem, I don't know what I should study being that I want to be a full-time politician. I'm assuming political science would be my best choice for right now. Right now I'm just working in real estate in the family business, but I plan on going back to school in the fall. I've been in contact with a few people in the Loyalist party, me and another guy will be at the UAC anti-Islamic protest on March 31st at ground zero, we will hand out flyers to spread the party name. I will also try to push for the Loyastist party webmaster to endorse JTF on the website.

On a different note.. I know you're a very busy man, probably have no time for yourself. But, assuming things are going well in Israel, and you have time for yourself.. what would you do for fun? Any hobbies? Sports you might want to play again? Go fishing? Travel? Play instruments? You mentioned you're against hunting for sport.. I am too, I hunt deer in the fall, it's fun, but I eat them.. I only hunt what I eat.

Laila tov,
Vito

Hail Columbia:
Dear Chaim,
I want to correct you on your most recent Jewish Task Force broadcast.  The name of the Jewish man who was the Confederate Secretary of State was not Judah Levy, but Judah Benjamin.  He was a Sephardic Jew who was born in what is now the U.S. Virgin Islands, to Portuguese Sephardic parents.  And, in your Take Back America program, you said that Mexico shares a border with Honduras.  Actually, Mexico shares a southern border only with Guatemala, and with Belize.

takebackourtemple:
   Last week you mentioned something along the lines of when the third temple is built that Pesach will know longer be observed because it is insignificant compared to the miracles. Every Pesach we say next year in Israel. Could we also hope that next year we won't need to observe it because the temple will be rebuilt? I'm guessing it will still be a mitzva to observe it anyway unless something even more important is observed for that week. Do you have any thoughts on how this period of time will be celebrated in replace of Pesach?
