Ask JTF for Sunday, February 28, 2010
Dan Ben Noah:
Shalom Chaim,
I have a question about the Sadducees of the Second Temple period. Supposedly they were a priestly group whose name came from "Tsadokim", which is in line with the Biblical statement that the sons of Tsadok would be high priests. It seems to me that if any group would have been passing down an Oral Torah it would have been these Sadducee high priests. However, the Sadducees did not accept the Oral Torah. How could only the Pharisees have an Oral Torah and not the Sadducees? And if the Sadducees were not legitimate Tsadokim, what happened to the true priestly lineage? Thanks in advance.
Respectfully,
Dan Ben Noah
Edward:
Shalom, Dear Chaim!
What is your opinion on the Beduins in Southern Israel (the Negev area)
Do you think that they're loyal to the State of Israel.
Jorje15:
Dear Chaim,
Sorry if I couldn't get my questin in from last week I was just to busy with other things. Here is my questin for this week? What are your thoughts on the U.S when they joined the war in 1941? What are your thoughts on the country of Canada? For the closing of Black History month can you give us a African American Story? What did people do during World War II?
Trace:
Shalom Chaim,
I was thinking earlier - maybe a good idea would be to racially segregate American prisons. From everything I read, it seems like the inmates already segregate themselves into gangs by race, and young white inmates are constantly brutalized and raped by stronger and more numerous blacks and Hispanics. I don't have much sympathy for prison inmates, generally, but I think there are some young people who make mistakes and end up in prison and I don't think they deserve to be abused and raped by brutal blacks. What do you think about this proposal? Do you think there's any way it could ever conceivably happen? Also, could you please tell a story about THE most brutal, violent and savage inmate that you encountered during your time in prison?
Ari Ben-Canaan:
Dear Chaim,
