Ask JTF for Sunday, November 16, 2008.

Shalom Chiam,
Although many of the questions that are part of your weekly show deal with political issues, I am hopeing that you could commet on the following...
I work for an Adult day care program, that provides day care services to people suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and other types of demetia. This allows people to remain in their homes with families and loved ones as opposed to being put into a Nurseing home etc. Some of the people we servre are observant Jews who's family will send in a lunch meal for them so that they will have a kosher meal. Because of thier mental decline, at times A Jewish particapant will become upset if they see others eating a food item that they enjoy from the lunch provided by the program. Although none of the staff would never advocate violateing Jewish Dietary law, are their any provisions in Jewish law that might allow for the easeing of suffering in this type of situation by allowing some relaxation of the laws of kasrut? Althogh this might seem to be a minor issue, both myself and the rightious gentles with whom I work have seen people become very upset over this due to thier stuggle with the effects of Alzheimers. Also, at times their is some resistance to personal care needs being provided by the opposite gender.
I have asked My Rabbi and others about this and gotten conflicting responses. Do you know of any souces that would be of use with these issues.
Thank you

If Sarah Palin were to find out about JTF and were to discover that JTF is supporting her, do you think she would want to publicly accept this support and endorsement or do you think she may very well want to avoid having this type of publicity released to the public for fear that this might paint her in a negative light?

Shalom Chaim,
Even though he has about two months left in office, what is your final grade and overall feelings of the George W. Bush administration? Thank you and God Bless.

Are you a registered Republican, Democrat, or Independant?

Shalom Mr Ben Pesach,
In your opinion who wrote the Zohar Rashbi or Moshe DeLeon? If Moshe DeLeon wrote it does that make it less holy?
