Ask JTF for Sunday, April, 18, 2010
Gimatria:
Shalom Chaim,
Have you been to the "newly renovated" Kissena farms supermarket (I believe it's now called "Aaron's Kissena Farms")?
I was there a few weeks ago and, much to my horror, I think I saw a filthy, smelly muslim working at a register.
"Eze boosha", amarti le'atzmi. Should we boycott this store for hiring these malodorous villains?
Speaking of boycotts, many years ago you advocated boycotting the Israeli dairy company "Tnuva" - should we continue to do so? When I was in Kissena Farms I saw many orthodox Hasidim buying Tnuva products in bulk. Can you speak a bit about this company and offer your wisdom on how we can get the word out on Tnuva's evil actions? Also, Can you recommend a replacement brand?
Lastly, I wanted to share a story about an unpleasant experience I recently had. A friend of mine told me to watch the program "Life" on Discovery channel. Now, typically I enjoy Discovery, and while this program seems wonderful on the surface (it's a collection of rare and exotic footage capturing the varied biological organisms on earth). However - there is one problem with this program - it is narrated by that ugly, hideous, smelly dyke animal, oprah winfrey. Oh is she ugly.
So I told my friend "Chas ve chalilah sheh ani estakel bah tochnit ha'zot". My friend couldn't understand what I had against oprah - but I told her to tune in this week to JTF, so perhaps you can share a description?

Shalom Chaim,
I would like to know how Judaism explains the reason for miracles done among non-Jewish nations. For example, there have been certain days where Hindu idols around the world temporarily had the ability to drink milk. Certain Catholic saints' bodies have remained incorrupt after their deaths and the eucharist has changed into flesh and blood. Eastern Orthodox religious icons sometimes weep tears of oil or blood. I know the Torah tells Jews that if someone brings a miracle in support of gods their forefathers did not know, it is a test and Jews are not to believe in it. Christianity tends to explalin miracles outside their religion as the work of Satan against G-d, but as I understand it Judaism believes that Satan is just an instrument of G-d. So why would G-d allow miracles that contradict Judaism even when they come to Gentiles and not as a test to Jews? Thanks in advance.
Respectfully,
Dan Ben Noah

Shalom Chiam,
Have you read Jabotinsky? Could you talk about what you gained or not if you did. In fact, could you recommend any books or people that would be important for someone like myself, or others to learn more about Jewish strength and action?
chicagojew:
Shalom Chaim, I am going to rephrase my question from last week. Do you believe that if Martin Luther King were alive today, he would not have become the martyr that he is considered today.

Shalom Chaim,
Can you tell the story of when you saved a woman from being mugged on the subway? I think I heard about this from an Ira video or somewhere, but I'm not sure of the details.
Thanks,
Patches
