Ask JTF for Sunday, August 15, 2010
KalmanBenMenachem:
Dear Chaim,
Regarding a recent comment you made on Ask JTF, and I hope you will excuse my ignorance, but how does observing the mitzvot make a Jew truly free?
Todah Rabah,
Kalman Ben Menachem

Shalom Chaim,
I have three questions, all that are related directly or indirectly to New York Senator Chuck ' The Schmuck " Schumer.
1) Chuck Schumer clearly has a horrible record when it comes to domestic issues. Can you please discuss Schumer's record regarding Israel?
2) What is your opinion of Nevada Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Sharron Angle?
3). With Chuck Schumer very likely going to be re-elected in 2010, there's a realistic chance that Schumer will become U.S. Senate Majority or Minority leader if Sharron Angle defeats Harry Reid in the Nevada U.S. Senate election. The position would then probably go to either Schumer or Illinois Senator Dick Durbin. Based on all factors, what is the better alternative: Sharron Angle defeating Harry Reid, with Chuck Schumer becoming U.S. Senate Majority or Minority leader. With the Republicans having one more seat in the Seat? Or Reid winning re-election, which would keep Schumer from moving up to U.S. Senate Majority or Minority Leader? The main reason for this question is your commentary in last week's ' Ask JTF' program about the dangers of self hating Jews being in office.
Thanks as always, eb22.

Shalom Chaim,
How would you change America's penal system? I'm not talking about the justice system, I'm specifically referring to the system of prisons and jails. What goes on inside prisons that should be changed? Should there be stricter rules? I'm watching the show Lockup. It seems as if the prisoners are constantly fighting each other and that gang violence, drug smuggling and murder are rampant. The problem seems to me to be that the prisoners simply have too much free time. They spend lots of time wandering around in a yard, lifting weights and otherwise congregating in groups. This seems insane to me. Shouldn't they be working at some sort of manual labor, and then when not working, locked in a cell? Since you did time in prison, do you have a specialized insight into this?
