Ask JTF For September 9 Broadcast
Dr. Dan:
Shalom Chaim
How do you feel about Israel's law that those who are studying Torah are not obligated to go to the army? Many decent zionist non-religious Israelis rightfully resent this and, unfortunately, some of them end up despising religion even more. What's the best solution in eliminating this resentment? What can I personally tell secular Israelis to not resent their religious brothers and sisters and, vice versa, the yeshiva student who wishes to study in order to not go to the army for fear of death during battle?
Regards
Daniel

Chaim, do you think we would be better off had the Confederacy won the Civil War?

Shalom Chaim,
I'm new to this forum and I am really enjoying JTF. Thanks for all your hard work for the cause of the Jewish people, and for being an ally to righteous Gentiles.
My question concerns economics. I understand that if elected Prime Minister of Israel, you will push for a society that conforms as closely as possible to the Torah. I was wondering what a Torah-true economic system would look like. I know that people would have property, but also there is the concept of sharing wealth with the poor, not charging interest, etc. How does it all fit together?
Respectfully,

Thanks Chaim for your words of support last week. The cause of JTF is the only thing that keeps me going at times.
The Bible seems to make reference to a fictitious nation confronting Israel. Do you think it refers to the fictitious Pal___ne and what is meant below by the phrase "worshipping a non-G-d"?
"They have provoked me to jealously by worshipping a non-G-d, angered me with their vanities. I will provoke them with a non-nation; anger them with a foolish nation (Deuteronomy 32:21)."
