TruthSpreader:
Dear Chaim, are there any Muslim countries that allow their non-Muslim workers time off on their holidays for example Christians not working on Christmas and Easter? Or Jewish workers off their hoildays?

Moshe92:
Dear Chaim,

Can you explain what the Yesha Council does and why you oppose it?

JTFFan:
Shalom Chaim,

What do you think of ghosts? Some say they are spirits visiting you with HaShem, others say they visit their loved ones? Apparently there are some Christians that believe in them. Christians used to say Holy Ghost, which was another word for Holy Spirit for the spirit of G-d. I don't know what the Jewish belief on ghosts is though. However, I suspect some have different views of what a ghost or apparition actually is? My mother's friend claimed she saw her daughter who had passed away one time, sort of as an quick apparition, she said she wasn't crazy or anything but tried to tell us her daughter was visiting her. She mentioned that if you remember your dreams about a loved one, then they came to visit you and HaShem made this possible.


G-d Bless you,

-JTFFan

Shalom Chaim,

Each year the Senior Center that I work for runs a "Model Seder" for the participants. Many of the Seniors that attend are not Jewish and the Seder itself it run by my Director, who although is a good and righteous person, is not Jewish. I have attempted to explain that much of what she is doing is not permissible under Jewish law, but the response is always the same "it is a way to promote cultural understanding" .

What specific sections of Torah or Talmud are applicable for this situation and what might be the best way to approach this situation in the workplace?

May you and your Loved Ones be Blessed this Passover season.

CorrieDeservedIt:

What are your opinions on novels such as Anne franks diary and Ellie wisel's night?
Also
During the jtf get together you were talking about a story i got to hear only the ending it involved you pulling out a gun and an old lady and a group of schvartzas, would you be kind enough to repeat it so we can all hear it, my attention was diverged at the other section of the table for a while.
