Shalom Chaim,

1: Do you think that when Fag Buchanus (may he burn in hell forever) talks against Obama in his stupid pedophile columns that it is all a bunch of German Nazi taqqiyah? I think there is only one reason why Buchanus is displeased with Obama, and that is because he thinks he has not been tough enough on Israel.

2: I honestly do not know why some forum members still feel a fondness in their hearts for the filthy autistic lecher Yacov (ys"vz). This pig tried to destroy our forum, called you a Nazi and a "self-hating Jew", allied himself with some of the most vile enemies of Israel in existence on his pathetic three-member splinter "forum" (if you want to call it that), and spread and tolerated some of the most vicious lashon hara imaginable against you and JTF/JTF members. A JTFer once said that if his pseudo-Jewish kurva (Mills, who had a woman who looks like a porn star in her avatar on Guzofsky's forum; yimach schma to her too) asked him to, that he'd have sexual relations with Yasser Arafat. Please expose to the whole forum what this sleazy rodef and his shiksa Nazi slut "girlfriend" did and, if you so like, do an impression of him also.

G-d bless,
Dr. Brennan Fan

Dear Chaim I hope you are feeling better.
If I don't see you before your birthday I wish you a happy and joyful one.

Here's my question(s).
P.S. I don't mind if I can only get one question answered and I'd prefer if it was question 3. Thanks.

1.What were the good and bad things Ariel Sharon done for Israel and The Jewish people.
2.What PM in Israel was the worst and who was the best out of the creation of The Jewish State and why?
3.If you were PM of Israel would you destroy The Mosque in Jerusalem and begin building on The Temple Mount?

G-D bless you, your loved ones, your family and all The Jews in Israel and throughout the world.
Bryan.

Dear Chaim,

Why is Christmas called Xmas along with any other holidays that had there names changed? Also what happens around the holidays through out the world? What happens in Israel during the end of the year and in January? What happens if you upload the JTF videos in HD? What will Israel do for the year 2010? PS: We must help Israel before it's to late not much time is left! We stop Obama while we still can. How do we get him out of office?

Dear Chaim,

1)Are you able to go to shul on Shabbos and eat the seudot with other people? Are the people in your community friendly to you? You live in my dad's neighborhood (roughly) and I know some of them can be very left-wing. How do you generally find it?
2) Would you write weekly columns in publications such as Jewish Press and the like or put out advertisements in those pages?
Thanks and may Hashem help us.

What was your favorite rock band? I'm trying to learn how to play some music from Slash who was in Guns N Roses back before I was even born but it's hard! I'm just learning how to play the guitar though. Hopefully I'll get it soon.

What are your thoughts on abortion? What does the Torah say about abortion?

Thank You.

Hope all is well. Have you ever heard of the "Friends of the IDF"? It's another one of those movements who claim to help IDF soldiers, but basically take a large percentage of donations for themselves. There was an event this past Saturday night where they had a black singer, Estelle, sing for the crowd. She had a terrible performance. I was telling myself, what a waste of money it was to pay this probably anti-semite to perform than to give that money to the soldiers...but then again, maybe it's a good thing if those very soldiers were going to remove Jews from their homes. What's your opinion of the IDF and how should we look at them?

Thank you

WestCoastJTF · « **Reply #9 on:** December 06, 2009, 12:30:43 AM »

Chaim,

Could you please give the membership an update on the technical side of JTF.

Has Shlomo finished all of the redesign work on the websites?
Are you still hoping to bring him on full-time?
I remember there was discussion about a background program to boost JTF's Google rating. Is that still in the works?
What's next for JTF.org and JTF's internet presence?

PS...I am a Catholic and fully agree with your comments last week regarding Christianity and Judaism in JTF. I know many Catholics (such as the late Sean Reilly) have worked with distinction in the JTF movement. I, like many Christians, dream of a day when the Israel stretches from the Nile to the Euphrates and the Temple is rebuilt.

I hope you are feeling better! What happened - did you eat a candy bar?

Shalom Chaim,

I am writing to disagree with Dr. Brennan Fan and others who think that Tiger Woods's behavior had something to do with his race. It has absolutely nothing to do with his race. I am definitely the FIRST person to condemn black ghetto culture and criticize so-called entertainers who perpetuate rap, crime and other elements of this. But Tiger Woods is not part of this culture. First of all Tiger Woods is only one-quarter black. His father was half black, a quarter Native American and a quarter Chinese. Secondly his father was not a ghetto schvartze, he was a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army who served in Vietnam and was a completely normal and law-abiding man. Woods was never raised in the typical black culture. Tiger Woods is simply a celebrity who cheated on his wife - extremely common, and regrettable, but unconnected with racial issues. Countless white celebrities have done the same thing or worse. To make it about a racial thing is really going too far. It is not a man's race that matters, it is his soul.

Shalom Chaim! I just listened to your wonderful show and wanted you to know that there are alot of hypocrites in this world. I was born and raised a Catholic. When I was finally old enough to "understand", I looked around and felt it was more like a "cult". Everyone went to church, said the same prayers, went to confession every week, but yet they still did the same "wrong" things they had just confessed! I am NOT like most Christians who believe if you are NOT Christian, or wasn't saved or baptized etc, you will go to hell. I even went to other denominations to see how different they would be from the Catholic church. Again, I found alot of hypocrisy. I believe that God is everywhere and no matter WHERE you are, He will hear you pray. If your heart is good and you mean well, then you are a good person. Not sure if I believe in a heaven or hell, but I do believe that karma WILL bite you in the arse!

Too much tolerance is what is getting this country into such trouble, don't you agree? Greed is also a huge factor.

I loved your show and agree with pretty much all you said. I am not at all offended by anything you said, but I AM offended when others in the forum make me feel as though I am "beneath" them, or not good enough to have joined JTF. I will always stand with AND defend my Jewish brothers and sisters because of all people, they deserve to have their beautiful land of Israel. I have always wished that ALL that stand beside her, would travel there in unity and obliterate the muslims out of there and around there and she be left in peace. This is MY wish for Israel.

God Bless you Chaim Ben Pesach, I hope you are on your way to a speedy recovery!

Shalom Mr Ben Pesach,

Wayiqra 19:27 says not to destroy the edge of your beard. So that assumes that all Jewish men should have a beard in the first place. Regardless of how you want to interpret that pasuq it is important for Jews to have a hairstyle and look that is distinguished from goyim. And the fact that the Temani always had payoth proves that this hairstyle goes back to the time of the first Beith HaMiqdash.

My question for this week is when you take power in Israel will the Gadol of our generation Rabbi Mordechai Friedman Shlita become the Chief Rabbi or the head of the Sanhedrin? He is extremely knowledgeable and he was a good friend of Rabbi Meir Kahane and he is currently banned from Israel.

Shalom Chaim,

I hope you are feeling better. This week I have some scripture questions I hope you can clarify.

In Genesis (Bereshith) there appears to be two separate creation stories, which use different names for G-d, Hashem in the first account and Hashem Hashem in the second account. (sorry it won't let me write them. The first starts with a Y and the second a Y E)

In the 7 day creation story, G-d created plants on the third day and fish and birds on the fifth day. On the sixth day, He created animals and man. In the Adam and Eve story, G-d created man first. Then He created plants. Then, for man to have company, G-d created animals and birds. And finally, G-d created woman. Which is it? What is the correct order?

Also, if Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, how could he write of his own death? Did Joshua add this part in? Or did he foresee his own death?

And finally, in lots of passages it's mentioned that the sun rises and sets. For example, Ecclesiastes (Kohelet) 1:5. If you believe the
earth revolves around the sun this is an incorrect statement. The sun doesn't rise at all, the earth does. It's an optical
illusion. Even if G-d wanted to use this phrase to emphasize human mortality and the fleeting nature of existence, couldn't He have chosen a more scientifically accurate one?

Thank you,
Patches

What is your opinion of Rabbi Schmuley Boteach?

Christian Zionist · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2009, 06:58:37 PM »

Shalom Chaim,

I know you follow Menachim Meiri's interpretation of the Jewish Halacha. That is one of the reasons you want to work with Christians.

However I heard that Menachim Meiri's interpretation is considered as a liberal view. I also heard that other Halachic arbitrators in Judaism do not qualify Christians as Righteous Gentiles unlike Meiri and they believe that Christians will go to hell because of idol worship?

In Israel also I see a vast majority of Orthodox Jews do not follow Meiri's interpretation?

Christian Bible also says all Christians cannot go to heaven if they don't do the will of the Father in heaven. Therefore just because someone calls himself/herself as Christian does not qualify him/her to become a citizen of heaven in the world to come.

Your thoughts?

Thanks!

Dear Chaim,
my young nieces and nephews resent me because I do not buy them gifts for Chanukah. To me, buying gifts on Chanukah is a disgusting tradition that has no place in our theology. First it starts with gifts - what's next - "Chanukah trees" and all manner of hideous imitations - am I wrong to classify this as "Avodah Zara"?
Chanukah is about celebrating Matisyahu and his sons smashing Antiochus (yemach shemo vezichro, ve'ye'abed zecher zichro) and the evil Hellenists, cleansing the Bet HaMikdash and of course, the great Nes.
The Maccabees were great Jews - proto-Kahanists, in a way. Instead of celebrating these heroes, Jews choose to celebrate by imitating gentiles and giving gifts.
Am I wrong to take this stance?

Shalom brother Chaim ..i hope you are feeling better.

do you think the repeal of the Prohibition of alcohol was due to the the difficulty of enforcing such a law? this phenomenon of criminalizing drugs is a relatively new one.

do you think in the days of the bait hamikdash such laws were inforced, becase dugs such as cannibus, opioum and alcohol were quite prevalent in the middle east

is there a place in the oral/written Torah that makes such a prohibition against recreational drug usage , because i know the first thing hashem tells Adam is he can consume all greenery, what was forbidden was to consume animals so i am puzzled with this issue

as we all know the war on drugs in the U.S. is a failure and a waste of money. as pm how would you enforce drug laws.

Lisa · « **Reply #24 on:** December 12, 2009, 04:25:52 PM »

Dear Chaim,

I hope you're feeling better.

My question is regarding Channukah. I remember last year how you did a video explaining the real meaning of Channukah, rather than the ones so-called rabbis peddle about one day's worth of oil lasting for eight days. Why do you think rabbis and Jews don't celebrate what really went on, for example, how Matityahu killed the evil Syrain Greeks and a self hating Jewish collaborator?

Today via Worldnetdaily.com I found an article on The Jewish Journal called "Maccabes Heroes Or Rabble Rousers."

http://www.jewishjournal.com/chanukah/article/heroes_or_rabble-rousers_the_real_story_of_the_maccabees_20091210/

According to this article, not even all the religious Jews of the time agreed with the Maccabes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first centuries of the common era, the Jewish sages of Mesopotamia sought to minimize the Maccabees’ significance in the Chanukah story. These scholars of the Babylonian Talmud focused instead on the miracle of the menorah oil, emphasizing the divine element of the story over the military victory of the Maccabees.

Richard Kalmin, chairman of rabbinic literature at the Jewish Theological Seminary, says the rabbis’ irreverent treatment of the Hasmoneans was based on the concerns of their era.

“The rabbis were competing with a class of wealthy local Jews over influence,” Kalmin said. “The stories of the Hasmoneans portrayed them as aristocrats, therefore entitled to be in a position of respect.

“However, the rabbis of Babylonia thought studying the Torah was more important. One of the ways in which they fought for their values was to engage in propaganda portraying the progenitors of the Hasmoneans as not coming across too well.”

Largely as a result of this, the festival of lights for centuries focused on the miracle of the oil. Then, in the late 19th century, the Zionist movement revived the cult of the Maccabees. The story of Chanukah, which evokes images of warrior Jews fighting for independence, mirrored their own ambitions, and many early Zionists considered the holiday more important than Sukkot or Rosh Hashanah.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my question to you Chaim, is why were the religious Jews of that time really against the Maccabes when Matityahu went so far as to stand up to those Greeks, re-dedicate the Temple and even kill a self-hating Jewish traitor?

You often attribute the refusal of many Jews to fight for what is right to their ghetto mentality. So how do you explain the behavior of the Jewish sages of Mesopotamia being that there was a sovereign Israel, thanks to the Maccabes, and the Temple was back in Jewish hands?

Also, being that it's Channukah, can you please explain for us once again why the Books of the Maccabes were never made part of the Jewish Bible. Italian Zionist asked you about it a while ago. But I would love it if you could elaborate once more.

Thank you very much.

Lisa
