Ask JTF for Sunday January 31, 2010
patches:
Shalom Chaim,
If you got married to a woman who was too old to have children, would you consider adopting? If so would you ever consider adopting an asian or black baby, as they are more readily available?
Thanks as always,
Patches
Laughing Sage:
You have said that Mohammed was a pedophile. On the other hand, others especially Muslims, like to say that the Talmud promotes pedophilia. Rather than accept the word of anti-Semites at face value, let me show you images supposedly scanned from pages of the Talmud so that you could set the record straight for decent and honest people.
Lisa Adds:
Laughing Sage,
The text you pasted here is way too small to read. Even I can't read it, and I have surgically enhanced 20/14 vision. However, I think I know what passages you're referring to. From what I understand, there's a passage in the Talmud that says if a little girl's hymen is ruptured it's like nothing.
All that means is that if a little girl was G-d forbid, raped as a child, she should still be considered a virgin when it came time to marry her off.
Rabbi Tovia Singer has a radio show where he refutes these anti-Semitic lies spread about the Talmud.
Also, I see from the properties of the image pasted here that you got this text from a site called Jesus is Savior, in their section on false religions. But I'll leave your question up here for Chaim to answer, just to set the record straight, once and for all.

Shalom Chaim,
Can you please comment on Abe Foxman's recent outrageous activities?
1. Abe Foxman attacked Rush Limbaugh as a border-line anti-semite by taking Rush out of context.
2. The ADL declined to help 2 Jewish students from the University of California Students sought the ADL's help, but the situation didn't improve. Then, with students' support, the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) filed a legal action with the US Education Department's Office for Civil Rights under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. ADL instead of supporting ZOA, attacked it by commenting that "changes occur not through lawsuits."
Was Abe Foxman the national director of the ADL when ADL spies informed FBI about the JDL members? Have you ever met Abe Foxman in person?
Thanks!

Gimatria:
Shavuah tov u mevorach, Chaim!
Like you, I am a fan of Mizrachit music. I enjoy many aspects of the music - the exciting rhythms, the augmented seconds (this is the musical interval that gives Mizrachit its distinctive sound), the instruments and more. But sometimes I wrestle with the content and the messages promoted in the music.
For example, I am not sure if you like him, but I am a fan of Ofer Levi. Some of his songs, especially the older ones, are filled with lyrics that could be described as misogynistic in nature. He also sings about former drug use, infidelity, and raucous parties. All of this is part of the Ars culture that is strongly identified with Mizrachit. Do these things bother you when you listen to the music?
Also, how do you feel about Zohar Argov? I think that vocally he is unmatched, but of course his demise makes it tough to respect him the way he might have been otherwise.
Todah Raba, achi.
Gimatria

Chaim,
You mentioned last week that you support yourself through investments.
I also trade stocks frequently.
Perhaps we could create an investment forum for our members?
Such a forum could help us all make better decisions and IM YIRTSEH HASHEM lead us to create the wealth JTF needs to become a mass movement.
What do you think?
