Hello Brother Chaim
As now I am back home, I must say I had mix feelings about being back in my own country and not recognizing my own country the way it has gone over the past few years. I refuse to give up but it is still a sad state of affairs when one dosn't recognize a nation he loves cause the direction it has gonel. I know this is a very important election year, do you have a praticular candidate that we should start endorsing?Because the corruption in Washington has bone into an all time highy

Dear Chaim,
As always, I hope that all has been well with you and yours. A few questions for your consideration this week:
1) How do you manage not to get flustered when discussing or fighting against Jew haters? I find that on YouTube, there are so many disgusting pieces of Jew hating refuse, that I easily lose my cool. Either that, or I can't wrap my head around how someone could be so incredibly dumb. How do you deal with this when you encounter it?
2) I recently drove by the local Chabad in my city and saw what I thought was a swatstika on the door. I had never seen this before on this building, so when I passed by it again, I looked closely. They, or someone, had taken the swatstika and added lines to it, thereby making into a box. I notice this Chabad never seems to have anyone in it or so it seems. It's a large, empty appearing building, but there are occasionally some cars there. With my last name, I almost always pass as a Christian, I wonder if this is bad for my soul to be 'passing' in this way. This building reminds me of the status of Jews in the Galut: alone, defenseless, and ineffectual (why not remove this swatstika??), a caricature of the Jew who suffers in silence, bearing his burden. Am I wrong in thinking this? Am I being unobjective? Perhaps I am being the bad Jew by not stopping in to see if I could help. There is so much anti-Semitism in this city, that while I always stand up against anti-semitism verbally, maybe I should be doing more.

yo yo yo what up Chaim?

Are you familiar with Manfred Schreyer who is running in the 8th district in Ohio. If you are, should we support him against John Boehner?
Also what do you think of the 90's?
Also can you Give us a Tyrone story involving a guy running around on drugs possibly singing and dancing?

Shalom Chaim,
There's a Bible passage that I've seen many different interpretations of. It's Leviticus 19:16:
"You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the L-RD".
There's a term associated with this passage that I've seen used here on the JTF Forum called, 'Lashon Hara'.
My question is can you use some examples of what would constitute Lashon Hara and examples of what Lashon Hara wouldn't be?
When would Forum/ Message Board discussions when criticizing famous people constitute Lashon Hara and when wouldn't it be Lashon Hara?
Thanks as always, eb22.
