Ask JTF For Erev Rosh Chodesh Av, Sunday, July 15.
YESHA:
Shavua Tov Chaim. Shalom.
Many people say to me that it is dangerous to go into pizza stores, restaurants, shopping malls and on buses in Israel, due to the threat of a Homicide bombing, Chas V’shalom. – To which I respond: if the A-mighty wishes one should chas v'chalila die one will – be it in the exile or in EY. It is not putting your life in danger, and “vshemarti moed al nafshoteychem” does not apply here. What say you?
Thank you

Hello Chaim,
I am truly sorry if I caused you any discomfort with my question last week. There is absolutely no reason to be embarrassed or apologize about a pronunciation. You did actually answer my question. You have a vast knowledge of Hebrew scriptures so if you are unfamiliar with the Greek translation it must not be very important in present day Judaism.
I did find this information by doing a quick internet search although I'm not sure how accurate it is:
"Starting approximately in the 2nd century, several factors led most Jews to abandon the Septuagint. Its association with Christianity may have rendered it suspect in the eyes of the newer generation of Jews and Jewish scholars. Perhaps more importantly, the Greek language declined among Jews after most of them fled from the Greek-speaking eastern Roman Empire into the Aramaic-speaking Persian Empire when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. Jews then began using Hebrew/Aramaic manuscripts that were later compiled into the Masoretic text."
Anyway, My question for this week is why do think the rap, gangster, thug "culture" has become so pervasive? There have been many other pernicious fads in pop culture throughout the years but for some reason this horrible lifestyle has been embraced in every corner of this country for more than a decade. I am at a loss to explain it.
Thank you so much.

Dear Chaim,
*"Veritás, Aéquitás, Et Aúrelius Maximus" is Latin it means Supreme Truth, Justice (like Equity), and Light!*
.....(continuation of New World Order Corruption in our military).......
.....Chaim, it's alot worse then us training Muslims in the past and paying for it now. We continue to train them. I personally trained East African fighters and the unit I was in also trained Yemenese and Saudis. Then they go out and perform acts of terror against other tribes and what that does is legitimize and perpetuate the war. Afterwards we as US Troops are told to stand down and to not engage "Al Qaeda" because Al-Qaeda are our own Trainees! Now that doesn't mean every time. Sometimes there is real terror. But our troops have been told to stand down many of times in Afghanistan when Troops knew where Osama Bin Laden was. We know but we're ordered to stand down. The Arabs just want money they don't care who they kill. They're really evil. But what we are doing is worse. We are in instances the provocateurs, behind everything and funding it to have a reason to be in Iraq to tie up the oil more and drive up the price! It truly is as the "schvartzas" say, "Gangster!" THE BIN LADEN FAMILY OWNS THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY THAT BUILDS US BASES ALL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST! Think of the implications of that! It's our elite along with the Arab elite. Ours use blind patriotism and the Arab elites use Islam to wave in the face of people even though neither live by the standards they set for their people. To make money! War=Money! And when I say we are doing this I don't mean We as America or as Jews and Gentiles, I mean the New World Order that runs things in both the governments of America and Israel but also the Arab states! The American and Arab fighters are all just fodder. But I think the Arabs are way too stupid because of their conditioning to ever realize it at the rate Americans are.
....BUT WAIT! IT GETS WORSE! More next week. Toda Achi!

Hello Chaim,
Following on from our discussion last week i just wanted to clarify what it might mean for all the jews to live in Israel... First of all if all jews lived in Israel it would literally only take on nuclear bomb to get in the hands of an evil organization or government seeking the destruction of the entire jewish people forever...
Yes many people believe that all jews deserve to live in haretz Yisrael and thats where they arguably belong but i fear that even if this were possible it would become a dangerous undertaking especially for the arab nations to all unite and turn on the jews as one and with the technology they might be able to access they would almost certainly see an opening to wipe out the entire jewish people G_d forbid...
Would you still wish for all jews to live in Israel with this likely threat of the future?
thanks in advance

Dear Chaim,
Liberals love to whine that the US doesn't have enough friends in the World. Joy Behar and Rosie O'Donnell love to go crazy about this. Yet, the US is now going to have diplomatic relations with Libya for the first time since about 1980; the US has relations with Pakistan. Within the last week or two, Bush had a meeting with Russia's president Putin, at a place in Maine where few people supposedly get invited. Bush Jr. has tried to be good friends with Putin. Bush Jr. has also tried to be good friends with Mexico despite Mexico's lack of reciprocation. Mexico didn't send any troops to Afghanistan. And despite anyone's view on Iraq, if Mexico truly consider the US its friend, they would have sent troops to Iraq.
So which countries that I haven't already mentioned do liberals desperately want to have diplomatic relations with? Syria? Iran? Any others?
Is it that these liberals just hate Bush Jr as a person? When he does what they want, the liberals still whine and complain like lunatics. If it was Al Gore or John Kerry doing the same as what's listed above, would the same liberals be joyful rather than complain?
Since the liberals have been whining and complaining, would the liberals rather Bush be more conservative with a smaller federal government, no bad trade agreements, etc.? Would they rather Bush Jr. not bother trying to be friends with countries that don't prove their worthiness of a friendship?
