Ask JTF for Sunday February 7, 2010

(1/6) > >>

TruthSpreader:
Dear Chaim, I have three questions regarding health.

1. What foods do you recommend for brain health? I heard that blueberries, fish, and almonds are some good examples. Are there any others?

2. I heard that oatmeal lowers cholesterol. Is this true? Maybe that's where the "healthy as a horse" expression comes from.

3. How healthy can Chinese food be? I'm sure in China, they don't eat any of the deep fried crap that you'd find in most so-called Chinese restaurants. Plus I'm sure they don't eat as much as meat as the Americans.

Dear Chaim,

I think that we should stop promoting Ira's videos on youtube. Her videos make JTF look bad, and some of them attack you personally. I don't see how someone with no previous knowledge about JTF who sees her videos could take JTF seriously. When I asked her why she won't join our forum, she replied sarcastically. She definitely is no friend of ours. Instead of making sticky threads with Ira's videos, we should focus more on 4international's videos on the forum. 4international makes excellent, professional videos in contrast to Ira's lame, repetitive nonsense.

Spiraling Leopard:
Hello Chaim,

why was Milosevic poisoned in a Dutch jail?

Thank you,

Robert.

There are mitzvot between "Man" and Hashem and human beings with each other.  Are there any basic mitzvot that include both?  What are they? Can you explain why they are both?

Also, there was a little topic about giving to charity on the forum.  My understanding is that a minimum of 10% and maximum 20% of one's income can be given to charity.  However, one person on the forum mentioned that it is a maximum of 10% of one's income since the third temple isn't built yet.  My mother tells me to go easy on giving to charity because 30% of our income that is tax dollars goes to the Schwartzas.  Chaim, is there a way to convert those tax dollars towards giving to righteous causes such as JTF, cure for diabetes/cancer/heart disease, Kolel, Chabad, etc?  I truly believe that when one gives to good causes appropriately, there is more blessing in one's home.

Thank you

Dr. Dan

Shalom Chaim,

If an Israeli leftist, lets say Tzipi Livni, let you make Aliyah in condition (were you had to sign a contract) stating that you stop Jewish activism and if you were caught you automatically be banned from Israel forever.
Would you take her up on the offer?
If yes would you risk Jewish activism or just marry a Jewish woman and have Jewish children?
If no would that mean that you are violating Gd's command to live in Israel?


Gd Bless you, your loved ones and every Jewish person who loves Israel.
Bryan
