Shalom Chaim,

What do you think of Eric Cantor's comparison of Obama to Putin? Particularly as it relates to the bankruptcy of Chrysler and Obama's unconstitutional intervention.

You're a gentleman and a scholar.

Kol tuv.

Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Shalom Chaim,

What is the threshhold for using the yimach schmo curse against an evil person? Is severe immorality enough, or do they have to demonstrate actual Nazism? Is it appropriate to use it against an evil rapper who has never actually discussed Jews, for instance? Or a porn actor?

Dear Chaim,

Have you seen kahaneyomi.org, the website with Rabbi Ariel Levy's lessons on Or Haraayon? Are those classes still sponsored by JTF?

TruthSpreader:
Dear Chaim, do you think the island of Bali which is in Indonesia should be granted independence from Indonesia just like East Timor did in 2002? The majority of Bali's population unlike the rest of Indonesia are Hindu and not Muslim. And speaking of Indonesia, can you tell me exactly how many Christians and Hindus have been slaughterd in Indonesia over the years. I can't imagine anyone living with 200 million plus Muslims.

Shalom Chaim,

I'm sorry to trouble you with such a complicated question, but I seek your advice; I really need it right now. I am having what you might call a crisis of faith. I have been thinking a great deal, about history, politics and religion, and have ultimately begun to doubt if I was born into the right religion (Judaism.) Basically, I feel like I do not belong in this religion; I simply do not feel any personal connection to the Jewish religion OR the Jewish people as a culture. When I search my thoughts, I feel as if the Jewish people are somehow doomed; I feel like they are pathologically self-destructive, they NEVER learn from history, and even with the best military in the Middle East, the Israelis continue to tie their own hands and let the Arabs chip away at their land, passively accepting their fate just like the Jews who were herded into gas chambers. It is driving me insane; I WANT to love being Jewish, but I can't reconcile my own values with a people that for all the world seems to voluntarily want to commit suicide. Right now, what I need is spiritual guidance, and I seek it here from you. Please give me your best advice and try to guide me on the right path.
