Ask JTF for Sunday, September 26, 2010
Chai:
Shalom broher Chaim ,
I hope you are having a Great Succkot. My questions are as follows.
1.How come you are not an ordained Rabbi? , you seem to know more than my friends from yeshiva that are now rabbis.
2.
Why do you think G-d asked for Judaism's most holy object "the ark of the covenant" to look like the ark of the evil, idolatrous Egyptians called the "ark of anubuis" I believe,which was found in Kink Tuts tomb, said to be the child struck in the plague of the first born. It also seems some affirmative action countries had priests that carried what looks like the Urim Vatumim.

For me I want to be as far away culturally from such evil people
The only answer I can think of is G-d makes his world relateable to the people. But I'm not so sure how it would be applicable today.
The "ark" looks just like our ark, as well as similar measurements, but with 2 cats instead of ceruvim. http://www.lexiline.com/lexiline/lexi000.htm
Its kinda creepy to me that Egyptians would have something similar, especially something so sacred to us Jews.
I have been to my local Rav, but he has never heard of it, but I assure you it exists.
My Rabbi told me "its not a big deal" so I had to be respectful and backed a way. I said to my self are you kidding me? That's a cop out!
Hopefully you will have some insight into this anomaly, as you have throughout the years, building my emuna and no doubt, many others in stronger emuna in the LORD
Can you understand why seeing such a thing is disturbing to me?
Thank you so much ,

Shalom Chaim,
2 questions for this week:
1. What is your opinion of Hidabroot, an Israeli cable TV channel bringing Judaism to non-religious Israelis?
2. What is your opinion of former Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, whom I believe was Jewish?
Thank you.

Dear Chaim,
I hope you had a great week. A few questions:
1) I was disgusted this week when I saw a white man walking with an evil, disgusting, satanic schvartza "female", hand in hand. What do you think of white men who date black women? Are they as loathsome as white women who date gorillas?
2) I was arguing with a friend about Mike Bloomberg, and I told him that there was a 100% chance that Bloomberg will burn in hellfire forever. He disagreed. What are your thoughts?
3) The Washington Redskins in the NFL have a player named Albert Haynesworth, who last year signed a contract in excess of $100 million dollars. Now, he is claiming that he's being treated like a "slave" because of his contract. Are there any words to describe this insanity? I sometimes think that having an ape as a slave would be fun, but they're so stupid that I don't think they'd be able to perform the most menial of tasks.
4) Can you please tell a sodomite-action story, involving an ignorant, evil, disgusting, hideous homosexual pervert and his ineptitude?
G-d bless you and the JTF,
RWG

Shalom Chaim,
I recently recalled a Time Magazine (I think that's who it was) special edition several years ago which was all about Freud, Marx and Einstein, and declared these three men to have been the three most important and influential people of the 20th century. It always makes me uncomfortable to see things like this, because it seems like more than just a coincidence that all three of the men picked by Time were Jewish. Obviously Karl Marx disavowed Judaism but he is still Jewish by birth. Anti-Semites certainly view him as being Jewish. Freud was a self-hating Jew and I think most of his theories are ridiculous. I don't know what your opinion is of Albert Einstein, he certainly was not as bad as the other two and was a great scientist but I don't know if he ever actually did anything to help the Jewish people. Overall, my objection to having a magazine special like this one, featuring these three men, is that it makes it seem like "Jews are controlling the world." Do you agree?
