Ask JTF For June 24 Broadcast

Allen-T:
Hello Chaim,
I must admit to you that I tried to get everyone to go along with asking you the same question last week, to tell us a funny Affirmative Action story. This was my attempt to trick you into recording a full 3 hour comedy extravaganza! Oh well. So I guess I will have to assemble my own best of Chaim CD from many weeks of only me doing this. Once again, lay another ummmm-hmmmm story on me!!! Allen.

Dear Chaim, What do you think about Rabbi David Bar Chaim Shlita. He is a very interesting Rav. He learned at Mercaz Rav Kook for years and also taught Gemara at Yeshivat HaRaayon Hayehudi. His Beit Din gave a psak din this year before Pesach that all Jews living in Eretz Yisrael no longer have to keep the European custom of not eating Kitniot. His rationale is based on both the Mishna and the Shulchan Aruch's view of customs. Namely, that they are based only upon the Minhag of a place and if one leaves that place permanently he is required to take on the customs of his new place of residence. Since the Minhag of Kitniot never was accepted in Eretz Yisrael, all Jews there may eat them regardless of country of origin. His halachic rationale seems airtight. What do you think?

Dan:
Hello Chaim,
 Sorry I missed to ask a question last week,  :(
 I have followed JTF for a number of years now and I believe we have made tremendous progress in the last 6-8 mo.
 From the Forum being introduced to the YouTube Videos released and with all the other promotions  JTF has really blossomed into something wonderful we all envisioned. I do have one concern that you keep on mentioning on every show, The lack of money and funds that JTF has to work with. Is there any way to raise that issue more? Can we all(forum members) agree to donate at least $20 a month through PayPal... or am my to aggressive with this suggestion?
                                             Thanks for all the wonderful answers you give every week,
                                                                                Dan

Hi Chaim,
 Just a follow up to last week's question:  Why was the Pomonoc housing project built right in the middle of a peaceful Jewish neighborhood? At the time, didn't they think that they would ruin a nice neighborhood? What was their purpose?...vindictiveness against the community?
much future success~

Manch:
Hello Chaim,
It is a ness that you survived! Can you please further elaborate on a recommended strategy of surviving in a federal penitentiary for a Jew?
What is the best strategy? Hide identity or ask for solitary? Being fearless and ready to escalate even small provocation is obvious to me.
Both Irv Rubin and Earl Krugel did not make it in the general population and whatever one thinks of them, they were tough Jews.  What else?
Thanks for shedding light on this.
Toda ahi!
