kahaneloyalist:
Shalom Chaim, if you became Prime Minister how would you reform the IDF so it would again be an effective fighting force?
Chaim, do you ever feel discouraged by the betrayals of our fellow Jews?
eb22:
Shalom Chaim,
1. With Michele Bachmann winning the Iowa Straw Poll, do you believe that she can build enough momentum to win the Iowa Caucas in 2012?
2. If Michele Bachmann wins Iowa in 2012, do you think she can win South Carolina and soon after the much larger state, Florida?
3. Do you think that Rick Perry's decision to announce that he's running for President on the day of the Iowa Straw Poll will alienate him with enough Iowa voters that it could ultimately derail his Presidential Campaign?
4. Can you envision any candidate losing BOTH Iowa and New Hampshire and still getting the Republican Nomination?
5. Assuming no other candidates will enter the Republican race for President, which candidates do you believe have a realistic chance at winning the Republican Nomination for President? In what order would you rank them in terms of the chances of winning the Republican Nomination?
Thanks as always, eb22.
Chai:
SHALOM Brother Chaim
with your permission,
1. Do you believe in the evil eye? I do not. To me how can someone covet someone and thereby making G-d look in his book and say to himself this person does not deserve such and such. Can the all mighty be capable of error in his divine and perfect justice?
2. Why do we need the Rabbi Caros shulcan aruch when we have Ha Rambam ztl; Mishna Torha (which I am currently endeavoring to not just go though but really understand with hashems help) especially when the shulcan aruch does not cover every topic of halacah and the Mishna torah does. I think the Shulcan Aruch has done more bad then good and has divided the Jewish world. I feel Rabbis Caro work is less organized as well.
3. Im confused I thought rambam does not believe in witchcraft but in chap 8 he sates a false prophetic can attain the illusion of a real one though witchcraft and sorcery.Please explain this to me. And do you believe in which craft?
To this day people burn the stores and shuls of people that follow ha rambam exclusively.
Shabat Shalom
PS I realize you are anti pot I noticed a question about it by Dr Dan whom I respect greatly and agree with 99% of the things he says. Here are some important points.
The world has gone on in the 5000+ years of written human history without the DEA. Medicinal plants were around in Adams time when G-d said "of all the herbs you shall eat" . I'm sure our avot used them medicinally . It was around in the Kingdom of Sholomo ( no Jewish DEA there) the Torah calls canibusm and also cloves, another mind altering drug for the Ketoret (illegal in many places, this illegal herbs business is getting out of hand) Plants have always been here and are Hashems creation. Man made synthetic drugs just make money for pharmaceuticals and dont heal ,only mask the problem.
Too much of anything is bad for you, as we see in the story of Noach. To much Alcohol can kill you , it can case caner and it kills brain cells, it does not mean medicinal plants are per se bad for you because there is no profit for phizer. Indeed to much pot can ruin lives if it just for fun.
If all drugs on earth would disappear alcohol by itself is enough to wreck havoc in the world, its a very very bad drug for you and alcohol itself is a the worst gateway drug out there a weak theory in itself but most pot smokers first started with alcohol, yet its part of our religion. G-d wants us to drink this mind altering drug, why? Because it makes us happy artificially? I do not know. The only reason I use wine on Shabbat, Pesach and Purim is because Hashem said so, otherwise I'd never let that stuff in my house!
We don't need to waste our tax dollars sending people who smoke a stupid plant less harmful then an established drug G-d encourages his people to use to jail, especially sick people because it makes them lazy. Smoking or even eating this herb can get you 2 years of jail in some states ( talk about cruel and unusual) There are real dangerous man-made drugs out there that are legal like Heroin (in the UK) and morphine (us) and other illicit ones that aren't. All man made mind altering drugs should remain illegal, but leave herbs and plants alone, we may find a cure from them one day for many ailments. The world went on without the DEA Yimachshemo vizorcho now they ruin lives! and it can go on without them (hirazon AMEN!), and would probably be better off. They actually make money by resupplying the drugs back into the system so they can arrest and make more money , its a vicious cycle Chaim that cant be beat, you cant win over nature, its a loosing battle.
Rational Jew:
Shalom Chaim.
I'd like to ask you some questions:
1. What do you think of Jeff Hughes?
2. What are your views on the same-sex marriages?
3. Is JDL still active?
4. Do you have headquarters?
5. What do you think of the movies like Snatch, X-Men, Meet the Fockers, Don't Mess with Zohan, and Lucky Number Slevin? Do you think that they all have an antisemitic effect?
6. What is your opinion on National Alliance?
7. What do you think of the Miss Usa 2010 winner?
I hope to get the answers. Thanks.

Hello Chaim
Can you tell us about economic problems of Jews in Judea and Samaria? What is their economy based on and how Israeli government can help them?
