Ask JTF for Sunday January 24, 2010

<< < (2/8) > >>

WestCoastJTF:
Dear Chaim,

Someday when you are 120 and pass on to the next world, do you wish to be buried in Israel?  Do you think this would be allowed, even if you are barred from going there as a living person?

Also, how is Jimmy Sullivan doing in Israel?

I pray daily for you,

WestCoastJTF

Shalom Chaim

One is permitted to save a Jewish life on shabbat as long as his life is not put in danger. Is this correct?

Is a Jew permitted to do the same thing but with a righteous gentile any day of the week and Shabbat?  How about a random gentile (don't know if he is evil or righteous) within Israel?  What if it is a random gentile in a country not considered evil nor righteous? If not what about an innocent gentile child who's parents are still alive?  What if the parents are evil?  What if that child is already orphaned, but it is an evil nation or city? 

We see Israelis helping Hatians after this earthquake even on Shabbat.  What's your opinion of this for the weekday and Shabbat?  What if it was a random gentile or innocent child in Tehran? "Jordan"? Detroit?  NYC? New Orleans? Frankfurt, Germany? South Africa? Vancouver?  I'm sure the Talmud goes into detail on this subject.

Thank you
Dr Dan

Mishmaat:
Why did God have Avraham circumcise Yishmael?

Spiraling Leopard:
Hello Chaim,

how well known is Hayamin Ha'Amiti amongst the Hilltop communities in Judea and Samaria?
It would seem to me that the word should spread extremely fast and from thereon to the rest of Israel.

Thank you,

Robert.

Shalomn Chaim, I am surprised that no one brought martin luther king's name, seeing it was his birthday. What is your opinion of him? and why do so many white people worship him?
