The One and Only Mo:
Dear Chaim,

              I hope all is well with you and that you are enjoying the delightful winter. Here are my questions.

1) What should I know about WikiLeaks?

2) Can you explain the "Political Economy?"

3) What do you think of Stephen Harper?

4) Do you prefer Shabbos in the winter or Shabbos in the summer?

                                                                                 Thanks and May Hashem Help Us.

Looking forward to meeting you again.

Chaim,

Last week you said that World War 2 occurred because G-d wanted to create Israel.  In other words, that G-d manipulated events to achieve a certain result.  If that is the case, then how does free will enter the equation? 

Thanks,
Kalman Ben Menachem

Dear Chaim,
       It's been a very long time since I posted after I left the forum following a disagreement about certain Kahanists in Israel, I wish to now say you were right about them and I apologize for my actions.
       My question for this week is considering that housing in Israel is very expensive are there any foundations which subsidize home purchases for Jews in Israel and if not would you consider establishing such a foundation to help Jews moving to Israel and those already living in the country?

Masha:
Dear Chaim,

What does Judaism have to say about wearing fur? I personally think that fur coats are warm, light, and practical - indispensable for cold climates. But I also think furs are exceptionally beautiful, and have aesthetic value outside of practicality. Even in a warm climate, an elegant woman could wear a fur stole over en evening gown on special occasions. I don't own any fur items because they are too expensive for me, but if I were rich, I would probably buy a fur coat or a fur stole. Would I then be in violation of some tenet of Judaism?

RussianLeo777:
Shalom Chaim,

Have you ever heard of Ashley Madison, a "dating service" for people looking to commit adultery.  It is sort of like the Match.com for married people.  It's slogan is "Life is short.  Have an affair".  What has our society come to promoting this sick behavior?
This service was founded by a sick self hating Jew named Neol Biderman.  What do you think should happen to this evil animal?
