Ask JTF For May 27 Broadcast
Zvulun ben Moshe:
Chaim,
I think I will be able to arrange a talk show for you with Victor Topaller, a leading right-wing journalist at RTVI, which is a major Russian-Jewish TV network broadcasting in the US, Canada, Israel etc.
If you are interested in this project, drop me your email.
I have just sent them links to your youtube videos in response to their first feedback.
Dexter:
Shalom Chaim,
What do you think about Arcadi Gaydamak ?
Sarah:
Hello Chaim, :)
Thank you for the interesting answers on last weeks JTF.
I'm not sure how the Knesset works in Israel but if its anything even similar to here in the UK, where you form your political party and have members of parliament representing different areas, then how are things going with the kahanists. Are there any kahanists in the Knesset or representing areas, like say where the Hilltop Youth that you help live? If that happens then maybe it would be a step forward for the kahanists unless the current government are preventing their involvement in politics completely.
Anyway i hope you have a Good week God Willing.
Gam Bashan veGam Gilad:
Hello Chaim,
First of all, I have a clarification to make:
On the last "Ask JTF" program in Hebrew, you named me "Gam Bashan" (without the "Gam Gil'ad" suffix). It was BRILLIANT! And I would appreciate if you kept cutting it off when addressing me. This is far too long of a nickname for these shows, and would be better shortened. Besides, I liked the new sound of it. ;)
Now for my question:
Gdol-Dorenu HaRav Meir Kahane ZT"L HY"D founded JDL in 1969, as we all know. Unfortunately later on, due to fights and disputes that were taken place among people in the organization, JDL split into a number of various 'JDLs' that kept the name of JDL while they weren't REAL JDLs, because they were not loyal to the founder Rabbi anymore (some of these "false splinters" still exist up to this day...).
Anyway, let me get this straight: They split from the one formal JDL, obviously over differences of opinions regarding the stances and moves made by the Rav, - yet, however, they have continued to proudly observe the name that HE installed, the name of the organization that represented the agenda and the ideology that they supposedly were opposed to and abandoned, eventually! That's why they ever left it in the first place, isn't it?
It seems a complete paradox to me! Why leave an organization but still keep its symbol, its identity? If they really object to what it represents, then let it off, form a separate group of their own with a separate ideology and a separate name! If they believed JDL was wrong by its ENTIRE approach,- then how come they ever joined it in the first place?? I can't seem to bring any sort of sense into it..!
Can you please help illuminate this for me in any way?..
Thank you,
Gam Bashan (veGam Gil'ad ;)).

If a restaurant is vegetarian, can we assume it is kosher?
Have you heard of kosher ham?
There are rabbis who make such claims.
