angryChineseKahanist:
I noticed how several people here on this forum get really
upset and take comments personally.
There are more important things in life to worry about.
For those people who get upset, look who's making the
evil comments.
Wasn't it Rabbi Kahane who said that he's happy when
the enemy is angry and fustrated and that he's worried
when the enemy likes him?
The Rabbi's words really made an impression on my outlook.
Folks, you should be thrilled that the enemy's only attacks
are personal attacks and cheap profanity.

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Hello Chaim,

  I need to write a paper on illigal immigration, I know and heard you talk about it and I would like to use your information. can you please provide good sources for the anti-illegal immigration issue. It would be a great help for my essay.   Toda.

Manch:
Dear Chaim,
1) thanks for explaining your position on the security wall - of course I agree with your assessment of the security wall, however I can’t fully accept your supposition that the wall did and does not save lives. I maintain that the wall has helped to funnel terrorist stream through a better controlled corridors and, thereby, has helped to save Jewish lives. I do hope and pray for a day when the arabs will built the walls to protect themselves against Jews. Let's hope that this shameful symbol of idiocy, weakness & sickness of our people will be removed soon.

2) A question that really burns in my psyche is the following: Masada Jews represented, at least to me, the best in our people. Why didn't G-d protected them and, at the very leas, helped them? Remember when the change in the wind almost burned the Roman siege tower? Why did the wind change back to burn the hastily assembled wooden barrier that Masada defenders erected? Does G-d really care about the righteous Jews who have perished in the most tragic way possible, by killing their own children and loved ones while the evil Jews survived and, probably, prospered by helping Romans to built the ramp and ultimately contributing to the massacre of their brethren…
Thanks for your insight!

Until Shiloh Comes:
Hello Chaim, and good day to you.

"Shall we receive good at the hand of G-d, and shall we not receive evil?"

The story of Job is one of the most profound, and moving accounts ever recorded in mankind's history.   In it we have a man who walked perfectly with G-d, feared the L-rd, and was blessed with abundance, yet HaShem punished him, giving rise to one of the greatest questions of theological importance that is asked endlessly unto this day.   Why does the G-d of all the Universe, of all that is seen and unseen, do what he does?   Job's wife told him to curse G-d and die. Job's friends assumed he sinned; Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar believed G-d simply punished evil, and rewarded good.  Job's fourth friend Elihu was wiser, however, and rebuked Job and his friends for believing they could make a case before HaShem.  Later, G-d answered virtually all of Job's questions with the profound yet mysterious declaration "I AM THE L-RD", and Job repented and was blessed.

Chaim, I respect your insight greatly, and was curious what you've taken out of this story personally.  What does it mean to you, and what did you learn?  What do some of the great Jewish sages have to say about the lesson to be learned from this epic account of G-d's sovereignty?

"The L-rd giveth, and the L-rd taketh away"
