Ask JTF for Sunday, September 7, 2008.
ItalianZionist:
Do you believe that G-d condones the use of artificial medication? I've been having these horrible asthma attacks lately, and I believe unless it is life-threathening, G-d would not condone the use of artificial medication and I try to avoid it. What does Judaism say about the subject?
Thanks

Dear Chaim:
After putting the fear of god into me last week (quite literally) I ditched the Japanese girl. I just thought that being with somebody who might have a chance of converting or raising Jewish children with would be better off than winding up with nobody and having no chance of continuing the Jewish lineage. you seemed skeptical of my inability to meet Jewish women in your response. you probably are not in a position to know this but most non religious Jewish women in their 20's these days seem to be hooking up with either schvartzes or Asians. this is the product of the MTV generation. is it more acceptable for a Jewish woman to marry non Jewish since the children of the couple will still be Jewish?
Masha:
Chaim, do you think women should be allowed to vote or run for political office?
Zvulun Ben Moshe:
Chaim,
I noticed that most of your videos on flix and other video sharing websites dont have a link to JTF or Hayamin websites. This is very important. If you or someone goes and edits every video description to ad the link, our Google ranking will rise dramatically. Let's not forget that website content is secondary in importance to links from other, popular websites.
Thanks.

The weekly Parashas always speak to me for some reason. Yestarday's parasha left me a confused so I'm wondering if you could provide any insight. One of the themes was about false prophesy. Over the last week I came across three situations where I told three close Jewish friends that they should change what they were doing and follow the torah. In each case I said that either something really bad would happen if they continued to not follow it, or good things would happen if they chose to follow it. This problem is that this made me feel powerful and as if I was speaking with prophecy. My goal was not to be a false prophet, but my convictions are so clear.
In one case I told someone from an Orthodox family that she should date someone Jewish instead of this black savage that I saw sexually disturbing photos of her with. I told her of all the horrible things I fear he will do to her. I probably servered my relationships with her family in doing so.
In another case, I told someone who abandoned Judaism for religions of India, who wanted me to support Obama, that he should not do so, but instead return to the torah. I told him of bad things Obama would bring.
In another case I told a family member that Hashem would reward him if he went to Bait Knesset and became proud of being Jewish. This week's parasha seems to imply that I shouldn't have done what I did, or at least done it differently but perhaps I misunderstood what I read. What insight do you have about my actions?
