Dear Chaim, three questions for this week's Ask JTF

1. Have you ever been to Houston, Texas in your lifetime? What are your thoughts on the city? Would you believe Houston is an example of where America is headed for a non-white majority?

2. What is the real reason why gas prices are so high?

3. Are you aware of what happened when in Belarus? Do you think Muslims are behind the terrorist attack there? Here is a link below

Dear Chaim

(1)   I was driving on the BQE last Monday. I was driving along minding my own business and then I saw a dump truck that had the following stenciled in black paint on the rear:  “Allah Forever.”  I then attempted to pass this truck and saw Insha'Allah Inc. boldly stenciled on the side of the cab of the Truck.   This country is in bigger trouble than I ever thought.  Your comments please.

(2) Prior to the coming of Moshiach, can you ever see circumstances where Israel willingly relinquishes its nuclear weapons?  I believe that as long as the Arabs / Muslim and other jew hating countries exist, Israel must retain its nuclear deterrence in order to maintain some level of confidence that she could wipe out its enemies.

(3) I find Pesach to be a very happy time of the year but I then remember all of the blood libels against Jewish communities in Europe and the Middle East.  Please comment.

All the best,

Nekama

1. Everyone knows who joshua is.  However, not many people really say much about calev ben yefuneh.  Can you tell us about him after the israelites conquered the canaanites? Why isn't he mentioned as much as joshua?

2. What made moses so humble? Who in modern day do consider to have a lot of humility? How can jtf activists imitate this humility and be effective in winning the hearts of righteous jews and gentiles?

3.  There is a time honored tradition at Persian sedars where we hit each other with scallions and leeks when we sing Diyanu.  What unique things does your family do at the pesach sedar?

4. Recently a Rabbi in the Old City asked a Muslim Imam a favor.  He asked the Imam to tell Arab Muslim bakery owners not to sell Chametz to Jews during Pesach.  In my opinion, this is pointless. Jews should never buy anything from Arabs and there is nothing preventing secular Israelis from buying extra Chametz to eat in their household.  Do you think what this Rabbi did was appropriate?  What are more practical things that can be done to keep Jews in Israel from eating or buying Chametz during Pesach?  Or do we just let it be and work on winning the hearts of secular Jews to keep Pesach, even if it takes longer for them to do the right thing?

And a dvar torah of this weeks parashah.

Chag sameach.

Greetings Chaim. I think it's wonderful that the ADL condemned JTF. To me that just shows that JTF is on the right track. What are some things you would like to say to ADL and similar organizations?
