Is there a member of The United States Congress who fits your model of what a Kahanist should be?
cosmokramer:
Hello Chaim,
When Israel is run by the Kahanists, will there be bans on traveling to certain countries(Germany, Saudi Arabia Ect...)
Thanks Chaim, Just wanted to keep the question short due to the high volume of them.

Is Hebrew National actually kosher? I know that alot of religous jews don't eat Hebrew National products, why not?
Yacov Menashe adds: It was once self-certified kosher but now are truely kosher under the Triangle-K although not Glatt. For a while I decided they weren't kosher enough and even Conserved Jews didn't eat them. But since they became certified under Triangle-K, I ate them a few times. Their products aren't even sold in the kosher section of the supermarket but rather around the general hot dog section. I have never seen a serious kosher establishment sell their products except one kosher deli in Manhattan.
The reason they weren't officially certified until recently is that they had a rabbi working for them who didn't let them open their plant to outside kashrut inspectors. When that rabbi died, Rabbi Ralbag of Triangle-K investigated and determined that they wee indeed kosher and certified them.

Hello Dear Chaim,
Hope you had a great week and all is well. Before I ask my question I wanted to thank you for the kind words you have to say about me each week. Well, this week I wanted to ask you about the failure of most Jews to help other Jews. This is a big problem as we have noted in the past, and perhaps one of the main reasons JTF has failed to become the mass movement we all dream about. What do you think is behind this unfortunate phenomenon? Even among many evil cultures, I have noticed that members of the same group are usually there to extend a helping hand, etc., at any time of need. Do you think this problem is related to the self-hating Jewish problem, another very troubling issue for which I can find no justifiable rationale. What can we do to finally overcome this? Thanks for your great work as always. Until next week, G-d willing.
Ari

Shalom Chaim,
I'm trying to figure out exactly what defines Orthodox Jewish halacha. Since the Talmud is so voluminous, I understand that all Orthodox Jews follow a codified version called the Shulchan Aruch. Is this correct, and are there any other universally accepted sources for all Orthodox Jews?
Respectfully,
DanBenNoah
