Ask JTF for Sunday, April 5, 2009
Dr. Dan:
Shalom chaim
I saw your good friend arthur schneierman at the park east shul the other day. I wanted to send him your regards and get his reaction but didn't get a chance to do it. Please tell us a story about him.
By the way I had an aliya for the birkhat ha gomer in the sefardic part of the shul. The new rabbi is pretty good.

Shalom Chaim,
I don't know whose side to take in the conflict between the Irish and the British (and the Ulster Loyalists.) I sympathize with the situation of the Irish because they have been oppressed by the British for so long. However, the Irish, for reasons that utterly elude me, have decided to sympathize with the so-called "Palestinians" in the fight against Israel. For some insane reason, the Irish Republican Army and most of the other groups who are fighting for the independence of Northern Ireland see their situation as being the same as the Arabs versus Israel, whereas in reality it is more similar to Israel versus the British during the Israeli War of Independence. They see Israel as "goliath" like the British Empire, whereas in reality it is Israel who is David, like Ireland is. For whatever reason, they have decided to throw in their lot with the Arab terrorists, which makes me decidedly less sympathetic to the Irish. The Protestant Ulster Loyalists on the other hand, who fight the Catholics in Northern Ireland, tend to be pro-Israel.
What's your take on all this? How should this situation ultimately be resolved?
SW:
Dear Chaim,
First of all I want to say I am proud to be a member of the Jewish Task Force. This is my first post on Ask JTF and I hope I don't ask a stupid question. This is a special date for me because my birthday is on April 5.
Chaim, what do you think about the political situation in Germany?
Thank you and God bless you Chaim!

Hello Chaim,
Why did G-d create people to die and why certain people no-matter how evil, are given longer days than others how have done so much good, ex. Rabbi Kahane?
All the Best,
Dan
