Shalom Chaim,

When you are a prime minister, what would you do with B'Tselem organization and Jews who are its members. I came across them on youtube and am much more nauseated by this Jew-hating group operating inside Israel than from muslim nazi beasts. I think they should share the fate of muslim terrorists with blood on their hands.

Shalom Chaim,


 My question this week relates to the future of the Evangelical Christian Movement in the United States.     With Jerry Falwell no longer here in the physical sense and Pat Robertson and John Hagee not getting any younger,    I'm concerned that Rick Warren and those like him are becoming the voices of the Evangelical Christian Movement in the U.S.      Warren already has proven that he's willing to be part of Barack Hussein Obama's evil agenda.


 My question is as follows.       Are there any middle age or younger Evangelical Christians on the national stage who you believe are helping promote righteous causes?    Evangelical Christians who can help counter Rick Warren and company,   as well as being natural allies to JTF?     The bottom line is the grave situation that Obama and the Democrat lead Congress are putting the United States in and the threat this is also to the lives of millions of Israelis ( because Israel's self-hating traitor government allows this to happen )  appears to have put both countries in greater danger than anytime in modern history.


 Thanks as always,  eb22.

Chaim,
  I was looking out for your cable show on channel 35 but instead I was horrified to see a program called "community affairs" or something where there was a woman saying that the african-american community is underrepresented in queens. She rattled off a list of communities where she wants more "low cost" housing. Among the communities she mentioned was forest hills, rego park, bayside and fresh meadows. ..unbelieveable.

Dear Chaim,

I was wondering if you could recommend a book to me.  It's actually for my brother.  We were raised in an entirely secular household.  I have become increasingly religious, largely because of Rabbi Kahane (of blessed memory).  You see, I shared his political views and when I heard him articulate those views in a religious context, it inspired me to read and learn more about Judaism.  By the way, I think he would be happy to know that his teachings prompted me to get a Jewish education.  (That's why I totally support your view that a Jewish education should be mandatory in Israel).  At any rate, I am still very much a beginner and I'd like to learn more, but my brother is still entirely secular.

We talk about Jewish values and he really likes what he's learned so far.  I told him and I think he understands that reading the Torah without help from anyone and without the benefit of Rabbinic interpretation is largely self-defeating.  I've told him some things about the brilliant writings of the Rabbis, and he says he'd like to learn more.  He asked me if I could recommend a book to him that would introduce him to Rabbinic interpretation.  I thought about recommending "The Jewish idea" (though I haven't read that one yet myself), but I think that might be over his head.  

Can you recommend a good book for him?  I'd like something that well written and will inspire him to go study.
It has to be fairly easy.  He has a good background in philosophy and politics, but really knows nothing about Judaism.  I have been blessed to discover Judaism.  I am a better and happier person because of it.  My marriage is better.  I am a better father.  Now I want my brother to have some of that.  Can you help me?

Thanks,

Zachor_ve_kavod.

Dear Chaim,

I have to say I am having very eery feelings that we are reliving the 1930s at the current time and am not entirely confident we will avoid a major tragedy.  I opposed and did not vote for Obama but I have to admit he has been much worse than I expected.  When he got elected I bought into the idea that he would probably be pragmatic and that he might be a pleasant surprise.

He has clearly lived down to my worse fears for him.  I have been reading Caroline Glick's columns in which she indicates that he is changing foreign policy to a rapproachment with Syria and Iran at Israel's expense in which Iran will be accepted with nuclear weapons, Syria will be given back the Golan Heights and will still be allowed to back Hezballah, Israel will agree to a Palestinian State in which Hamas will be openly accepted as a partner in the government.  She is no Kahanist, just a middle of the road secular nationalist.  He is almost going out of his way to destroy the economy which usually means trouble for Jews.

During the election I thought that Israel might benefit from not having a perceived friend in the White House because it would remind her that she is responsible for her own security and sovereignty and should not look for friends in Washington or Europe (yeah right) to take care of her.  I have to admit I don't think Israel has leaders with the ability to stand up to Obama and Hellary, or the gathering storm from Iran and the Sunni murderers whether based in Saudi Arabia, or Arabs in the land of israel. I fear that American Jews will be facing dual loyalty accusations in this environment and that most American Jews are too self hating to withstand it and will turn nastily anti Israel (not that they are very pro Israel now). 

Am I being too pessimistic
