Hello Chaim,

Other day, while I was in Barnes and Noble book store, I saw something that hurt my feelings. They were selling Main Kampf books in their history section. Can you comment on this?

Estragon1396:
Dear Chaim,

Following your advice, I've registered on the Hebrew forum and started following some discussions there. However, I'm still more interested in the English forum, because I really enjoy your weekly "ask JTF" programs. Perhaps you should consider doing "ask JTF" programs in Hebrew from time to time? That would make the Hebrew forum a lot more interesting.

In any case, I have three questions for you this week:

1. I've never understood the mentality of anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews, such as the Satmar Rabbi or Neturei Karta. What kind of religious arguments do they use to justify their views? Which biblical or Talmudic passages do they cite in support of their opposition to Israel and Zionism? Could you please refute their arguments and provide your own theological and Biblical justification for modern-day Zionism?

2. What are your thoughts on Rabbi Menachem Froman of Tekoa?

3. I've watched a lot of your Hebrew videos recently, and I must say your Hebrew is excellent, almost like a native speaker. How did you manage to learn Hebrew so well without ever living in Israel? Did your parents speak Hebrew at home, or did you only learn it later in life?


Thank you for your answers, and I wish you Gmar Chatima Tova.

Shalom Chaim,

Hindu Nationalists parties in India have been very supportive of right-wing party in Israel, but there has been displeasure over the statements sent by Avigdor Lieberman in International Press. Recently there have been 63 deaths in 2 months of Muslim civilians of Kashmir who picked up stones and indulged in rioting and burning down Indian property, demanding autonomous power or freedom away from India, the kind of intifada which was crushed by the Indian Army. To which UN and Amnesty or the International Media didnt give attention as it does with actions of IDF. Lieberman stated in International Press that why the world has let India off on this?, and only Israel is targetted. Wouldnt he have been better off in saying "If the world's largest democracy uses such tough means to crush anti-national activity on its soil, why cant Israel?"

What do you think of Singer and song writer Dov Shurin. He is Kahanist. I meet him at the Kever of HaRav Kahane ZT'KL on the Rav's 19th Yartzit and bought one of his CD's

Shalom Chaim ha Na'or!
Please join me in saying "mazal tov" to my wonderful parents, who just celebrated their 36th anniversary. They are such wonderful people Chaim, I feel that words just fail in conveying their greatness. But having met them, I know that your well wishing will mean that much more to them (as they are most certainly listening to this program!)

Thinking about couples, I was wondering - which pair would be best suited for the negev agricultural policy?
1) Andrea Mitchell and Alan Greenspan
2) Joe and Hadasah Lieberman
3) John Kerry and Theresa Heinz
4) Jeb Bush and Calumba Gallo

I have of course left out the obvious choices (Bill and the Dyke, BH Osama and his ugly wife, Shimon Peres and Colette Avital - technically a mistress and not a wife, but still). I imagine Bill and Hillary would be #1 on the list?

Keeping with the couples theme, I noticed that Larry King has been married to some very attractive shicksas. Is it true that he convinced them to marry him by saying "if you wanna come on my show you gotta marry me"? Do you think these shicksas get excited to go to bed with Larry King?

Todah Chaim!
