Chaim,

Pakistan also has nuclear weapons. Therefore even if America and/or Israel manage to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities other muslim countries could still get nuclear weapons from Pakistan.  The Pakistani air force website claims that during the Israeli-Arab wars Pakistani air force pilots downed 10 Israeli air force planes.  So it very likely that Pakistan could give nuclear weapons to Syria, Jordan or Egypt in the event of another major war! What is your opinion?

Thank you!

Dear Chaim,  Last week somebody asked if we could build the Temple on pillars over the Dome of the rock. Besides being a little crazy, this idea simply assumes that the kodesh hakodashim is under the dome of the rock.

This may not be true.

The are three halachic opinions about what that rock is.
1.  The Rock under the dome is the even hashtia
2.  That rock is the remnants of the altar
3.  That rock is the remains of migdal antonia, a maccabee fortress that was later turned into a roman fortress.

The third opinion holds that the kodesh hakodashim is in the area between the dome and al aksa right behind the kotel.

I learned this from an interesting hebrew sefer called beit hamikdash hashlishi by rav shalom dov sheinberg. Have you read it? It's fascinating.

Either way, those mosques must be destroyed. Read Ezekiel 42:16-20. It says that the empty area around the Temple must be 3000 amot by 3000 amot. This would encompass both mosques and alot more of that area as well.

I read on templeinstitute.org that this issue has been put before the Sanhedrin and a ruling has not yet been reached.

It seems to me that according to the Mishna the third opinion makes the most sense. Because there was only 11 amot between the kotel hamaaravi and the holy of holies.

 Even a liberal estimate of the thickness of the walls would make the area 31 amot long. But between the kotel and the dome of the rock is 104 meters!!!! More then 200 amot!!!!!

There are more proofs but I've written too much already. Please tell me what you think about what I've learned. Thanks Chaim. You're the best.

P.S. Sheigetz is not the word for gentile in yiddish. Goy is. Sheigetz is always an insult. I am a yiddish speaker and I have yet to hear a yiddish speaker refer to  a gentile as a sheigetz of shiksa. Only people who know just a little bit of yiddish use that word. Yiddish speakers don't use it unless we hate that particular gentile. It is only used an insult. My apologies to jimmy that those revava people called him that. I never would.

Maimonides:
Shalom Chaim and thank you as always for your hard work and answering my questions.

Do you believe that Hashem is sending the Jews a message that it is time to return home by allowing Muslims to become powerful in Europe and America?

If this is the case then shouldn't JTF be glad that Jews are getting the wake up call even if it is in a painful way?
Would it not be a good strategy to get anti-Israel candidates into office so they cut off aid to Israel and force the Jews to see they are truly alone and can only rely on Hashem and themselves?
Isn't this strategy just like JTF being supportive of Hamas winning over the so called moderate Fatah?
All the Pro-Israel candidates even if they have good intentions only hurt Israel with their support because the Jews become complacent and slothful by believing that a higher power (The USA) will protect them.
This situation with Pro-Israel candidates seems similar to The Book of Esther when Persian Jews felt so safe they did not want to return to Israel.

Hello Chaim

Hope you had a great week.  I was reading something rather interesting about the pig that represents my district in congress Gary Ackerman. (G-D is he a pork belly), Anyways as I was reading every leftist issue here are few of the many leftist stance he took..

1. Rep. Ackerman: ‘A Platoon Of Lesbians’ Could ‘Chase Us Out Of Baghdad’
During hearings on the State Department’s 2008 budget, Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) slammed the U.S. military’s ban on gay service members, saying the Pentagon “seems more afraid of gay people than they are of terrorists,” and that if the terrorists were smart, “they’d get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad.”

(His quote)

2. Of course, the election of Hamas was as much about disgust with the corrupt and venal Fatah movement as about anything having to do with Israel. After all, how many regimes can steal $1 billion from a people of only three million, and expect to get reelected? But it is also, in a sense, the defeat of a certain unspoken neo-conservative assumption: that, if people are free and democracy operates smoothly, then generally reasonable, pro-peace governments will be elected.

This past summer he and I think some leftist congress woman in California were on Fox News saying what the Muslim Nazis in Gitmo their treatment were in human and even if it includes throwing water on them to speak if they know information.

Every time, within the last 8 or 9 years on Election day since he does represent my district his name is the only name for his category to choose I always skip it cause no one else runs against him.

I know you can't stand him and I certainly don't but what the hell is wrong with everyone in North Queens and parts of Nassau County???? They keep putting up with this crap over and over again.

YESHA:
Dear Chaim,
Question 1 - We often hear the late Rabbi Kahane Hy”d’s position on so-called ‘Israeli’ Arabs, but what was his on PA Arabs, those who squat and occupy Jewish land in Judea, Samaria and Gaze.

Question 2 - I’ve heard, Chaim, about the imprisonments of Rabbi Kahanae zechronoh tzaddik livrachah, & his son Binyamin Zeev Hashem yikkom damoh – I even saw a picture with the former in handcuffs, and the latter being escorted to jail, but why were they put there and for how long, and in what year?

Shalom and Thank you Chaim as always.
