--- Quote ---Firstly, The Bible was given to the Jewish People and no other at Sinai, thus according to the Talmud, which Rabbi Kahane quotes often in his monumental achievement "The Jewish Idea": The Jewish People are made in HaShem's image and not all humanity. The Jewish people were chosen for a reason, not the Blacks, Arabians, Asians, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks or anyone else. The Jewish people took over the covenant HaShem had made with Adam before he sinned. This is why the Jewish People are referred to as "Adam" and to be held to HaShem's higher standards to be a nation of Priests.

Shalom Chaim, this is just in response to Marzutra....
The above quote could not be further from the truth. It's complete and utter nonsense. I for one, do not hold the Talmud with the same respect that I hold the Torah She BiCh'sav. The covenant G-d made with we Jews is NOT the same covenant G-d had with Adam. If it were, we would all be living forever...which Adam would have done had he obeyed G-d in the first place.Adam was not a Jew. Adam was not a Hebrew. Adam was simply a man created in Hashem's image. Eve, the first woman was taken out of Adam and therefore she too is a part of G-d's image.
ALL those who descend from Adam are therefore created in Hashem's image. Period.
It is arrogance and self conceit to believe otherwise.
At Sinai Hashem did choose the Hebrews which became the Nation of Israel to be His people. But he didn't do it because we were so great and awsome. He would have wiped us all out in the desert if Moshe had not pleaded to G-d on our behalf. No, Hashem picked we Jews because through us, the weak, the oppressed He could show His glory to all mankind. We are the proof in this world of Hashem's existence. We are his prized possession yes...but He uses us as an object lesson to the rest of the world. Because quite simply...He loves them too.
Until Shiloh Comes:
Hello Chaim, and good day to you.
Just a comment this week.
I'd like to thank you for inviting the great Rueven Ben Avraham back to the show. As a follower of Austrian economics myself I simply can't get enough of his articulate, passionate, and persuasive arguments in favor of the gold standard and a truly free market, and against our current socialist welfare state. His ability to cite sources in defense of his arguments are second to none, and reminds one of the pious Jew's ability to cite Torah & Talmud in defense of his or her beliefs. I'd love to see him become a semi-regular on the show as I find his insight truly refreshing and spot on.
Feel free to pass this words onto Reuven, and may continued blessings come your way.

--- End quote ---
I think the word you are looking for is "Hindi", but I want to clarify a couple of things, Danny.
1: Northern Indians, Pakistanis, and Sinhalese (native ethnic group of Sri Lanka) are all Sanskritic/Brahminic/Ayurvedic peoples. They originated from northern India and at one time all used the now-extinct Sanskrit language (the South Asian equivalent of Latin). Hindi, Gujarati (I think), Sinhalese, and Urdu (the latter an attempt to copy Hindi using the Arabic alphabet) are all Sanskritic languages the way Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc. are all Romance languages.
2: Dravidians living in southern India and Sri Lanka (Tamils, Keralans, Telugus, etc.) are COMPLETELY different from northern Indians and use the Dravidic language system, which has nothing to do with Sanskrit and, like Albanian, is quite unrelated to any other language family in the world. They also have a much different national/cultural character fron northern Indian Hindus, being rather more militant, and, in the case of Tamils, downright genocidal.
3: Pakistanis are racial Sanskritic Indians who converted to Islam, much like Bosnians are Serbs who converted to Islam. They speak a different language (Urdu), which though still Sanskritic is an artificial attempt to Islamicize Hindi. Sinhalese are Buddhists instead of Hindu, but are racially and culturally related to Northern Indians. Tamils have no connection to any of the above except Pakistanis (in the sense of being jihadist and Nazilike).
Try to look at it this way in a linguistic/racial/ethic sense, using Eastern European/west Asian nationalities as a model:
Northern Indians would be the Russians of south Asia.
Indian Muslims would be the Chechens of south Asia.
Pakistanis are the Bosnians of south Asia.
Sinhalese are the Serbs of south Asia.
Dravidians in general would be the Turkmen, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, etc. of south Asia.
Tamils are the Albanians of south Asia.

Hello Dear Chaim,
I hope you had a great week and all is well. Excellent broadcast as usual last week. I listened to bits and pieces for days. I would also like to wish you and your family health and happiness for the Passover holiday and beyond.
This week I have a short tale and a question. A while back someone asked me my religion. I proudly answered Jewish, but the person continued to press me on what denomination of Judaism I was. Following your teachings, I pointed out to him that there really is only one branch of Judaism, true Torah Judaism as you preach. Was this the correct answer for me to give? Truth be told, I was brought up in Conservative Judaism, but you have pointed out the faults of the so-called Conservative and Reform movements, so I now think of Judaism as having only a single classification, Torah Judaism or just plain Judaism.
Also, as you might remember, I want to become more religious. I view myself as a far from perfect Jew who still has a lot to learn. I was also wondering if the education I did receive as a youngster, under Conservative Judaism, including my Bar Mitzvah, is not valid, since it was administered by a Conservative Rabbi and teachers?
Finally, if you have time, I was further wondering about all the illegitimate Arab countries. We have already established that Lebanon and the so called Palestine are frauds. How about Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in their entirety? How much land have these Muslim Nazi countries stolen from Biblical Israel? Again, thanks much. Until next week G-d willing.
Ari
Fruit of thy loins:
Dear Chaim
I agree with your position that there is no genetic superiority, whether it is the supposed superiority of Ashkenazim or of whites over blacks. But I believe that TRUE diversity requires us to prevent the blonde and brunette races from being swamped by black Africans and Mongoloids like the Chinese. Can I justify my desire to preserve all of G-d's creation on these grounds? G-d confused the Tower of Babel because humanity was coming together and forming one language for the purpose of idolatry. But can we not say that many of the goals of globalization and cultural assimilation are idolatrous? I'm thinking of negro worship for example, prevalent among white youth.
I see a blonde child and I am straightway filled up with a sweet longing: tears fall from my eyes and the heavy clouds are lifted from above my head. When I was but a babe and a young boy I was blond. I set eyes upon a young negro and I am filled with despair, forasmuch that G-d has put such abomination on this Earth. Should I amend my opinions?
