Sarah:
Shalom Chaim
I hope you are well and thank you for answering all my questions!
1.Somebody told me the other day that Starbucks was a zionist organisation that donates millions to Israel in show of support every year. There are also other companies and shops that support Israel economically but are they really beneficial and should we be wary about purchasing goods from companies that pose as "the enemy" or could be a threat to what is righteous?
2. How are you and how did you spend pesach? ;D
Theres been fantastic weather here in London, the past few days. It makes me wonder if global warming is really true, and maybe its a great thing for some.

--- Quote from: Fruit of thy loins on April 08, 2007, 09:47:18 AM ---Dear Chaim,
I have some kind of mental illness or degeneracy which causes me to behave in ways that other people find repugnant. I am far too lazy to seek 'help' and too suspicious of the British health 'service' to put my faith in it. G-d will not redeem me because I have abominated before His sight. What is the best way to commit suicide?
--- End quote ---
G-d will redeem your soul, if you express complete remorse and return to Him. But if you commit suicide, then you can be certain that there will be no redemption for your soul.

I have some comments regarding the issue of rape that was brought up last week. First of all the death penalty is only if the woman is married or engaged. In some cases the married or engaged women would also get the death penalty. If the married or engaged women was in PUBLIC and just let a man rape her according to the Torah she is also responsible becuase she did not cry out and both the man and woman get the death penalty. Let me quote the passages in Deutoronomy.
Deuteronomy 22: 23-27 If there be a virgin man who is betrothed to a man and a man finds her in the city and lies with her then you shall take them both to the gate of the city and pelt them with stones and they shall die. The girl because of the fact that she did not cry out in the city and the man because of the fact that he afflicted the wife of his fellow and you shall remove the evil from your midst.
But if it is in the field that the man will find the betrothed girl and the man and the man will lie and sieze her and and lies with her only the man who shall lie with her shall die. But you shall do nothing to the girl for the girl has committed no capital sin for like a man who rises up against his fellow and murders him so is the thing. For he found her in the field the betrothed girl cried out but she had no savior.
It seems the torah did not view women as defenseless in all area's as this movement portrays them as while it is true that in most cases a man is bigger then a women in a case in public the torah does expect the women to cry out or do something to stop it.

Hello Chaim
This week I been busy for my Easter holiday and in between that I have sent to many people the videos on YouTube the same way I sent them the audios from the website and I get the same feedback how they love them all. I enjoyed the Al Sharpton video very much you did with Sara it brought wonderful memories, that was probably the first time or so I got a chance to notice JTF on Queens cable from just channel surfing and since then I was hooked. I always said, now this is "Must see TV." Imagine that huh an Italian guy at the time I was in my early 20s, I hardly knew about the Rabbi but found out more about him through you and JTF and was amazed since what a great guy. People thought I was nuts every week I had to put on the TV just for this.
I would like to see some more classic videos you did with her and with Joseph on YouTube I am trying as hard as I can to pass them along to others and if the day happens I ever win Lotto I promise with my heart that I am splitting the ticket with my family and the great people of JTF.
And now my comments and question. I was really pleased you made an audio about smoking. I for one can not stand smoking I think it is not only a disgusting habit but a very dangerous one. My grandmother was a heavy smoker it took her life, my father who is a great man a very hard working man always made sure his children never went to bed without food in their stomachs also was a heavy smoker, he is alive to day thank G-d but had suffered from it a triple bi pass from the smoking.
I personally can not see how anyone can even touch the stuff even they know the heavy risk from this nasty stuff that I hate the smell of it, and they say when you kiss a smoker is like kissing an ashtray.
So ty so much really about the audio you made about smoking.
And one last question a small one
I know we are in trouble with this election next year, and I heard of a candidate one night on C Span named Tommy Thompson he is a (R) that one of his platform is for energy independence to make Arab oil worthless as the sands their camel dump in.
In fact this is his quote it is on his website
''On the Environment and Energy, America must become independent in its
energy needs and break reliance on foreign oil. We must begin with greater
investments in renewable energy, like ethanol, so we can bring these
technologies to market faster and more efficiently. And we must come
together and deal with our changing climate.'' Tommy Thompson
How do you feel about him as a candidate for the 08 race?
