Geert Akbar:
Shalom Chaim,

Who would you say are the five most fascinating individuals from any period in history (besides Rabbi Meir Kahane), and do they have any particular significance to you? If you could meet one of them (dead or alive), who would it be?

Thanks and G-d bless,
Zibby

Maimonides:
Shalom Chaim and Thank you as always for your hard work and for answering my questions.

What is your opinion on the media reaction to Hussein Obama's, yimach shmo ve-zichro, "special olympics"  comment when asked about his bowling skills?

Also why does Hashem create mentally disabled people? What is their purpose in this world?

Dear Chaim

One thing I will never understand is the Jewish worship of New York City. Jews think Queens and Brooklyn that they are in the holy land with their Shuls their Kosher food. It is insane and I will never understand it. What would you do and what can we do to encourage a real Aliyah revolution. Currently New York City has the 2nd most Jews in the in the world it makes me sick. How can we push a real Aliyah revolution??

Thanks

David Ben Ze'ev Aryeh

Sometimes I watch old films from the Golden Age of Hollywood that means films from the late 1920s till the end of the 1950s. I noticed the big difference between these films and the today's ones.
At that time directors had much fewer technical possibilities so they had to concentrate on the story. Personally I think that Hollywood films at that time generally used to be much better than the current ones. I would even say that Hollywood declined in the last 40 years with a few exceptions.

Hollywood has never been a paradise but at least it was able to produce many masterpieces.

I have one possible explanation for this drop of quality. The people of Hollywood of 40 or more years ago were maybe 1 or at best 2 generations away from a religious upbringing. I think that helped many directors and screenwriters to make excellent stories in contrast to today's stupidity of violence, sex and filth.

What is your opinion on this? Why this huge decline of Hollywood?

Kind regards

davinci

Shalom Chaim!

Shouldn't we create a warrior class of the JTF? We must defence ourself.
