Eden Ben Yitzchak:
Dear Chaim, Shalom!
1. Who are your favorite Country musicians & singers?
2. According to Islamic law, are Muslims allowed to eat Kosher meat? Because when I go to the butcher's to buy some good rib-eye steaks and lamb chops for my BBQ evenings, I see these disgusting, ugly cockroaches buying meat. This meat is kosher, it isn't halal... Are they allowed to consume it anyway?
3. What is your opinion of Uzi Landau, as you know he was against the Hitnatkut.
4. One of my acquaintances from college is an enthusiastic animal-rights activist, he told me that China and North Korea are the cruelst countries towards animals. He showed me some videos on ZooTube and other sites, where they show how Chinese men skin dogs ALIVE and let them suffer and bleed to death. In other case they showed how they brutally boil little puppies in a pot, while they're still alive - they believe that if you boil dogs alive their meat gets more tender. As an animal lover I was terribly disturbed and disgusted as I saw these videos. What do you think? Isn't it a terrible sin?
Chaim thank you very much for answering my questions, I enjoy listening to you, and thanks to you I learn a lot! God bless you for spreading the truth. The real truth. Yours. Eden Ben Yitzchak.

Sentinel For Truth:
Dearest Chiam,

I have a question regarding the potential source of donation funds to JTF.  I am an amateur technical analyst in the stock market and occasionally I am able to use patterns for profit, sometimes when the market goes up and others when it goes down.  A few months ago, I promised God that if I was able to be profitable on this next trade that I would send 10% of it to JTF, and this is a considerable sum on the line for me personally.  The stars appear to be lining up for a big move, however my question is that because I intend to profit using an ETF (exchange traded fund) that increases as the market goes down.  I would like your consideration because since I intend to profit from a falling market that the potential source of funds is kosher, as I recall that you once said something like George Soros' great wealth was primarily made from attacking and shorting currencies, and by doing so his money was unkosher, and I didn't want any donated funds to JTF to appear to be like that.  This is just an investment vehicle that trades like a stock and goes up when the market goes down, and no harm will come to any one or any company by using it. 

If you deem this kosher, please pray for my success that I am able to help your righteous cause.  Also, which has the greater need at this time for activists in Judea and Samaria, JTF or VJA? 

Thanks so much for your kind consideration and advice.  I hope more JTFers are willing to follow this example of sharing profits with JTF to sanctify this righteous cause, His holy name, the holy state of Israel and sending you there as soon as possible.

Kahane-Was-Right BT:
Dear Chaim,

What happened to Menachem Begin later in life?   Earlier in his life he was heroic and a wonderful Jew.   But after he was prime minister (or even for some time while he sat in the opposition), it seems that he took on the vision of the labor zionists and simply put his own twist on it, rather than truly presenting the revisionist zionist approach.  It is like he took what Meirson and Rabin were trying to accomplish and showed them up by achieving it himself better than they could dream of.  Why did this happen?   Even Shmuel Katz, his trusted friend and ally and former fellow member of the Irgun high command, at some point came to refuse to serve in the government with Begin because of his capitulationist policies.  What went wrong with the great Jew Menachem Begin and how did he lose sight of his ideology?  Or did he not?

2.  Speaking of Menachem Begin, he was a deeply pious man who hosted a weekly Torah study session in his house Saturday nights and was at least somewhat Shomer Shabbat (I don't know how punctilious he was with the halachot, but for sure he was traditionalist and went out of his way not to desecrate Shabbat for mundane affairs).  Despite this, the naturei karta cursed him and called him a nazi while they protested his visit to NY in 1979.   There are some people that try to "justify" the naturei karta-type views (or the satmar views) on the State of Israel by pointing out that secular Jews rule Israel and founded the state.   But Begin was not secular.  Why do these hypocrites also oppose religious Jews making a state in Israel?

Shalom Chaim

I would like to talk about the budget agreement that was put together this weekend.  In my opinion the Conservatives haven nothing to celebrate despite all the analysis of the phoney right saying it was a victory and that Baehner is a big winner.  I am not an expert on the Federal Budget but two undisputed facts stand out.

The stimulus of $700 billion (I am not sure if that is the exact amount) was included in the baseline.  In other words a ton of money that was only supposed to be spent because of an emergency is now a permanent part of the budget.  Taking $38 billion out of it is maybe 5% of it.  In other words Obama gets to keep 95% of the stimulus as a permanent part of the budget.  How outrageous is that?

The $100 +billion of money that was snuck into Obama care is still in the budget.  Not to mention they did not defund NPR which the sting video showed their executives laughing at a reference to it as National Palestinian Radio.  They were promised a vote on defunding Planned Parenthood but with Republicans not controlling the Senate I would not expect that to pass.  A nation that is as broke as we are is in no position to fund things like Planned Parenthood (which half of the nation objects to) and NPR which reflexively opposes the USA.

On the other hand I do give Paul Ryan credit for proposing major budget cuts going forward.  He has at least started the discussion as to what needs to be done.  On the current path we will be an econmic Portugal which would be a catastrophe for the free world.
