Shalom Chaim,

What is opinion about "Shir Hashirim", the Songs of Solomon in the Tanak? (Yacov Menashe adds: Perfect timing. We read it in synagogue on the Shabbat of Passover, meaning the day before this broadcast.)

It is very graphic and many Jewish and Christian scholars believe that this book should not have been canonized in the first place but others think it is allegorical.

Thank you,

Christian Zionist.

Hi chaim, happy pesach and keep up the incredible work you are doing. To find out that a major Israeli newspaper has begun to cover you really gives us a ton of hope. I have two questions this week, the second one seems long but it will take just a few seconds to read.

1) Do you believe it is harder to earn a living in Israel then in America? people make it seem that living comfortably in Israel is impossible and I don't buy it.

2) I used to be very close with my brother when he was just a regular guy. He always ate kosher and things like that but he wasn't very serious about his Judaism. He would listen to female Israeli singers and non jewish music but now he only listens to torah tapes. A few months ago he became very religous wearing a white shirt all day wherever he goes. He is like a typical "Lakewood guy." The problem is he has turned into a beast impossible to get along with. As he became more religous he became meaner and colder. He used to be happy when a couple of muslims were killed but now he seems indifferent towards it. When I see him I say to myself how I would never want to be like that. I have not said a word to him in months and my mother seems to be getting annoyed with his behavior as well. She used to hope that everyone would be religous but she is no longer sure and is now careful what she asks for. All his friends seem to be this way as well, cold, cruel and selfish. I believe it is because they are told in yeshiva that because they learn torah the world exists and everyone must serve them. My brother goes to a yeshiva that supports agudah and he certainly acts like it. He would rather have someone killed then miss a minyan. He used to listen to your show and love them but now he thinks your a "fool." I try and tell myself that it is just him but in all honesty, most yeshiva guys you see walking around flatbush look selfish and arrogant. It seems like I will never speak to him again. I was wondering what you thought of this situation.

Thank you again and looking forward to hearing the show

Fruit of thy loins:
Dear Chaim

I am with you 100% on the idea of fighting to save cultures threatened by savage Muslims.  The question I made last week was really one concerning aesthetics.  Maybe it is unimportant to you but I do love to see a wide diversity in human types (99% of humanity has black hair making blondes a unique phenomenon).  Would you be happy with a coal-black, thick-lipped wife with a giant butt so long as she was Jewish?  You rightly said last week that Europeans live for today.  All of us love seeing the blonde and brunette women but if we don't fight to save them tomorrow's generation will only know black-haired people.  They will only see beautiful golden-haired women in old magazines and movies.  And their souls will pine to know the sweetness that blonde women can give.

I agree 100% with your aims and the avoiding of racist language but this question of aesthetics is important to me, being, if I may say so, as I am, an artist and an admirer of the Alm-ghty's wondrous works.  PS - I always spelled globalization with the zed.  That is how our Oxford dictionary says it's spelled.  ;)

YESHA:
Shalom,
You often mention the yellow part of eggs as being high in [bad] cholesterol. However, after doing some research I n this area I can tell you that eggs are harmless, despite this, you can have seven a week. You see there is nothing wrong with them – for your heart or the rest of your body.   In the great majority of the population, the amount of cholesterol in the diet does not affect blood cholesterol, since cholesterol is manufactured in the liver regardless of whether or not you eat it in a food.
Eggs are not an especially high source of saturated fats. Eggs actually qualify for the "low in saturated fat" label. Most nutrition experts suggest that one egg three times a week can be part of a healthful diet. The egg white is almost pure high-quality protein: so if you are a cholesterol-sensitive person, skip the yolk and eat the white. If the American Heart Association is not concerned about the cholesterol in eggs, neither should you.   Now scramble it up and enjoy!!
