Chaim,
Europe has been following socialism/communism/humanism. Gas prices are high, rents, house prices and other prices are high as well in Europe.
My question is why Euro has more value than the US Dollar? (1.00 Euro = 1.31950 USD)
There are reports in the internet that Euro will replace the US Dollar soon...?
If this is the case how can we claim that capitalism is successful and free market economy is better?
Thanks In Advance!

Hello Chaim, I have a few questions, shorten them if you need to,
1: What do you think about the Agudath Israel? It seems to me that these people are very anti-Israel, Not quite on the Neturei Karta level, but still are. The voted against Israel in 1947 and were against the territories before they were dismantled by Sharon YM"SM. Can you tell me which Rabbis were or are in this organization and your thoughts on Agudah.
2: I eat some unhealthy food. Like candy and ice cream ocassionally. I do eat mass quantities of fruits and vegatables also. But I was wondering everytime I am at my Rabbi's house for Shabbat, he has usual shabbat fare such as brisket, matzoh ball soup, kugels, kishka puddings, cholent, schmaltz herring, gefilte fish and other fatty Ashkenazic foods. Although delicious, every time I eat it I feel so sick to my stomach and nearly on the verge of vomiting. I like the food, but could it be some reaction in my body? Yet I feel so good after eating a green leafy salad with some skinless grilled chicken I make for myself for dinner most of the week. The shabbat food on the other hand, I get sick. What is it with this food? Is Sephardic food better? My Rabbi, while a very nice man, is so big and can take eating this food yet he remains fairly healthy. I am a big fellow too, but more on the muscular side. It kills me after eating it. My family has a bad health history so maybe thats it? Whats your take.
One more before I go, Have you ever been to Israel for more than a month? If so was this before they threw you out, and how is your Aliyah procedures going? Have you filed a lawsuit against Israel, hired a lawyer to defend you and your right to go to Israel?
Thanks again Chaim, I hopefully will get more involved personally in the future with JTF anf the Hilltop youth. Keep telling the truth brother. Even though the Rav is gone in human form he is proud of you still. Most of all G-d is proud of you. Thanks for changing my outlook on life and giving me truth I need to hear.

Shalom Chaim. Do you believe that man evolved from hominid beings?

Dear Chaim -- This may be a bit out of your 'wheelhouse', as my question involves the New Testament (the Book of Revelation, no less) rather than the Torah, but I would appreciate your forbearance with this Gentile, asking your opinion about the following.
Like many of your posters, I'm disturbed to see the United States and my ancestral homeland in Europe being overrun by primitive third-world malcontents. And while I try to avoid getting consumed with what might be called 'newspaper eschatology', I cannot help but note that the once far-out claim that 'the end is near' (as often spouted by traditional conservative Christians) sounds ever more plausible.
With this in mind, I noted Revelation chapter 7 verse 9, speaking of a vision consisting of "all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the Lamb" (New King James translation). I would presume that John of Patmos (the writer of Revelation, suspected to be the same man as Saint John the Apostle) would have known from his travels and/or divine guidance from God what these various 'nations, tribes, peoples' (etc) looked like.
And now to my question: Given the plummeting numbers of Caucasians of European ancestry throughout the world (even in Europe), magnified by the loss of traditional Christian faith in nations that were once the bedrock of traditional Christian faith (again, mostly nations of European ancestry), vs. Revelation 7:9 above, I cannot help but wonder if this is yet another indicator that 'the end is near'. In other words, Christian Europe is dying fast, and thus if the end does not come soon, then that would presumably leave a major gap in John's observation in Revelation 7:9 that 'all nations, tribes, peoples' were present at the end times.
So, in your opinion, ?is this a reasonable indicator that, indeed, 'the end is near'?
My thanks for your consideration of this question.
