Manch:
Hello Chaim,
1) Completely disagree with you on your take of pet ownership. Always had dogs, have dogs now, don't see myself without them in the future - a bundle of joy. Besides, people owning dogs/pets live, on average, 8 years longer than the one who don't  ;)
BTW, historically, in Israel, Jews lived with the domesticated animals under the same roof, it was quite practical for the common folk - provided shelter, security, warmth(in winter months), safer pregnancies(for animals), etc. Look into it.

2) On a serious note, a serious question: What kind of people are we? (Jews)

Thank you,
Manch

Fruit of thy loins:
On the subject of pets: they do indeed cause uncleanness.  That's why I like seeing them at my mother's house but I don't keep any myself.  Sometimes a cat gets diarrhoea and then goes and sits on the dining room table or on the bed sheets.  It is an abomination.  I adore cats but I am can live without all the hassles that come with owning one.

Hajar:
Shalom Chaim, hope all is well,

1. How long will the three temples take to be built?
2. Why do these ignorant new reform Jews allow cremation to take place. In england, the crematorium is opposite the Jewish graveyard.

I've also heard you mentioning on Take back America that the world opposes Israel. I think quite the contrary. Below what appears to be hate is the longing and desire for the Islamic world to be abolished. Since Israel is the only nation successfully doing so, they support it secretly. They are however too friggin scared to express their hate for Islam and Muslims and would rather much back away and give them what they want. Its messed up.


Thank you,

Chaim:  I remember that you said once that you and Rabbi Kahane despised holocaust memorial museums.  Why?  How well read are you on the holocaust?  Do you watch the documentaries like those on PBS and The History Channel?  Not withstanding Schindler's List,  what do you think of movies portraying the holocaust such as Diary of Anne Frank, The Attic, Holocaust, Escape From Sobibor, Shoah, Playing For Time, etc.  What do you think of poking light hearted fun at the holocaust and Nazis such as The Producers, Stalag 17 and Hogan's Heroes?  Does it trivialize a very serious situation?

Ari:
Hello Dear Chaim,

Hope you had a great week and all is well.  2 quick ones.  I was wondering what beverages you consume in keeping with your healthy lifestyle?  I try to drink mainly water, but sometimes become bored with it.  I drink fruit juice on occasion but try to stay away from too much because of the sugar and calories.  I was wondering if you think it is okay to drink diet soda or waters flavored with artificial sweetners like Splenda.  Do you think these are harmful?

Also, if you have time, I know you have mentioned that Jesse Helms helped you obtain Kosher food while in prison.  Did you encounter any other righteous people during the time your were away for fighting for Soviet Jewry?  Thanks for taking the time to answer all our questions as always.  Have a great week and until next week G-d willing.

Ari
