Ask JTF for Sunday, May 16, 2010
patches:
Shalom Chaim,
What is your favorite brand of orange juice? I drink the run-of-the mill brands, tropicana, etc., and I do not seem to enjoy it as much as you. Do you have a juicer machine? If not, why not?
Thanks,
Patches

Shalom Chaim:
Hope all is well.
(1) Which one of the following nutty professors makes more sense to you: the buck toothed Cornell West or Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (mmm...mmm...mmm) - can you please provide your world famous initiations of the two genius Negros?
(2) I think next time Bibi goes to Washington JTF should send him a pair of knee pads and a Chiquita banana plant to use in the one-on-one meeting with Obama in the oval office. My only question is who would use the knee pads first? Your comments Chaim please.
(3) When the Clinton-Lewinsky affair broke, some Jewish commentators compared said Monica was a Modern Queen Esther. On the other hand, in typical mashuganah Arab fashion, some Arab commentators said the whole affair was part of a Zionist Conspiracy. At the time the story broke, I believe Clinton was meeting with that faggot Yasser Arafat, YS'V. What are you comments regarding Monica Lewinsky, the cigar aficionado?
(4) I seem to remember that there was some controversy surrounding the Israeli day parade and allowing JTF to march. Will JTF be represented in the Israeli day parade this year? As a side note, during past parades, I have positioned my self around 59th Street where the Muslm Arab Nazis and their Neturei Karta kappos hang out. I have enjoyed hurling comments like "Death to the Arabs" just for "blanks" and giggles. What has been your experience at these parades?
All the best,
Nekama

You are right , but sometimes things just look like they are on the brink ..and not in a nice way.
What do you think of Dr Keith Ablow The psychiatric correspondent on fox news
What is Lazar Brody's problem in this http://www.resolve.co.il/articles/society/noahide_world/activism_%E2%80%93_yes_or_no.aspx?id=15888&language=English
he basically says its an "avirah" for us to be politically active in behalf of Israel (basically JTF then no?) Aren't these the "rabbis" that Our beloved Rabbi Kahane Ztz warned us about .. i really liked rabbi Brody and i think he a great speaker. These are the people that help me do tesuva .. he is actually breaking my emuna and you who aren't even a rabbi strengthen it with just one response via ask jtf ! :).. I'm confused .. does that not that negate all of Rabbi Kahanes work? ..the JTF and freeing soviet Jewry .. why cant it be that hashem gave us Rabbi Kahane to help make that happen why is that so bad to these people? ...bizarre.
2. I'm going in a similar field sometimes I wonder if i can do any good with that for Israel then again, I laugh in my head because there are people in Israel so much better then me, I wonder though if that's true .. why no one is doing anything loud enough so we can hear it here. What do you think?
3, I'm actually starting to hate my last name even though its Jewish, i want to be called by my Torah name from now one .. do you think there is a point to making it official? Do you go by your secular last name outside of jtf?

Shalom Chaim!
1. why is their so much infighting between the tribes of Israel in the book of Judges? The story of Jeptach an his sacrifice of his virgin daughter to Hashem is a bizarre and disturbing story. So is the way how the Benjamites stood up for murderous rapists and then kidnapped their wives from the festival after they almost were almost totally wiped out by the other tribes. Very strange behaviour for Jews..wouldn't you say?
2. Just wondering why David Ha Ivri would make statements about you like you described. He apparently is an advocate of the hill top settlements in Samaria. The reason I would like to know more about him and so on is because he is coming to speak in my city this month and am wondering if it's something to go and check out. Can you please elaborate a bit more on what his story is, because I have heard only good things about him from others...
As always thanks and may Hashem bless!
YESHA:
Dear Reb Chaim,
Thanks again for being there as a source of help & empathy – as well as believing I can overcome my challenges that I’m currently facing. It gives me hope and belief in myself!
My question, if someone is on a small salary/wage - and for instance earns a mere $250 per week, do they still have to give eser achuz (10%) ma’aser on that? Is the 10% immaterial of how much one earns?
PS: My dad just had a stroke, the second one in 1 week. Please all pray for him. He's in a bad, serious & critical condition, in hostpital, with his brain bleeding away. His name is, Yisrael Yehoshua Herschel ben Sarah Chayah Leah.
Thanks,
Zev
Kol Tuv
Shalom, Shavuot tov v’chag same’ach lecha v’la’kulam!!
