Dear Chaim:
Hope all is well with you this week. As a Kahanist Jew, I want just too personally thank you for all the sacrifices you have made during your life for the noble causes you have dedicated yourself to advancing. You have been a role model for me during the last 15 years of my life and I am glad that I am getting to know you on a more personal level. You have done more for me then you will ever know.
Here are my questions and comments for the week:
(1) What is the source for all the names that blacks use today to name their children? Why don't blacks use more traditional names like Kunta Kinte, Binta, Chicken George or my personal favorite “Eved Canaani.” Your comments please.
(2) Last week you mentioned that the Holocaust was the greatest calamity to befall the Jewish nation. When it comes to catastrophes, sometimes it is hard to know which of any series of events are worse than others. Personally, I feel that the dispersal of the 10 tribes is probably the worst calamity to befall the Jewish people because of the 10's of millions of potential Jews just simply lost to history. I believe this event ultimately cast the demographic lot on a downward slope.
(3) Please tell me more about the Anshe Kenneses Hagadolah - When was it formed and by whom? Where did they meet? About all I know about this group is that they set the daily prayers. Was this group acting in the capacity of a Sanhedrin? Were they a political body, a religious body or both?
(4) I understand that Nazi Wakf and their Israeli sonderkommandos collaborators allow non-Muslims to ascend to Har Habit in small groups. However, Muslim Nazi gestapo minders follows each group to make sure nobody dares utter a non-Muslim prayer. How would you advise fellow Jews and righteous gentiles wishing to ascend to Har Habyit to show their support to Jewish sovereignty of the mount and indignation to the Nazi Wakf and their Jewish collaborators? While I personally would like to fire a bazooka at the 2 latrines spiritually stinking up the holiest place on earth, I don't think I would be successful trying to smuggle this weapon past security. Again, how can Jews and righteous Gentiles protest the current abominable situation and commit a "Kiddush Hashem" while on Har Habayit?
All the best,
Nekama

Dear Hayim,
My Rabbi, Rav Bar Hayim says that the students of Rabbi Akiva were actually soldiers in the Bar Kokhba revolt and died in battle. He bases this on the Igeret Rav Sharira Gaon. I saw a video on google where Rav Kahane made the same claim.
Did he ever speak to you about this theory? My Hareidi friends have aneurysms when I tell them this.

Shalom Chaim,
What was Spain's position during WW 2? It looks like until the recent revelation by El Pais newspaper Jews had a favorable opinion about the Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco. Franciso Franco, whose apologists usually claim that he protected Jews, ordered his officials to draw up a list of some 6,000 Jews living in Spain and include them in a secret Jewish archive.
That list was handed over to the Nazi architect of the so-called "final solution", the German SS chief Heinrich Himmler, as the two countries negotiated Spain's possible incorporation into the group of Axis powers that included Italy, according to the El País newspaper.
Golda Meir once told the conservative Spanish news magazine Epoca that her country remained grateful for "the humanitarian attitude take by Spain during the Hitler era, when it gave aid and protection to many victims of Nazism."
Your thoughts!

Shalom Chaim,
The US has been pressuring Israel to make suicidal concessions to its ennemies through the promotion of a new Arab state in Judea Samaria and the division of Jerusalem. All true zionists understand it is vital for Israel not to give in to this pressure but this could ultimately prompt America, especially Obama-led America, to retaliate by ceasing to transfer to Israel advanced military technology which is needed by Israel to keep an edge over its ennemies. My question is : to what extent do you think Israel can do without US military technology transfer ? Does Israel really have the means to become completely independent from the US or can the US blackmail Israel into accepting suicidal policies ?
Many thanks for all your commitment,
Yaakov Mendel
