Dear Chaim,
The Jewish History classes I took at Bar-Ilan were not from a religious perspective and at times were even heretical and anti-religious. When I was 21, I started community college in Pennsylvania in September, 2003, and graduated with an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts in May, 2006. I started a 4 year university in the end of August, 2006 where I major in General History and expect to graduate in December, 2008. Now I am 25.
Up until now, I rely on my parents for financial support for money other than money I saved over the years and that I got from my grandfather when he died which I use when I travel to Israel or if I go places in The United States like New York. I also used that money when I went to community college but this past year I got full state and federal financial aid for the university I go to which is among the cheapest state universities in Pennsylvania (Only about 4,000-5,000 dollars a year compared to my sister who has many loans because went to NYU, and graduated this May.). Next year I only expect to get federal aid because there is one class that I took now that I will have to take over in the future.

I'm posting this on behalf of Yacov Menashe Ben Rachamim.
Do you believe that pre-marital hugging is worse than pre-marital kissing? I think hugging might be worse than kissing on the cheek because of the physical feeling involved from the two bodies touching. I have never done anything more with a woman other than hugging and a kiss on the cheek. For me this is all hypothetical because I haven't had any type of relationship at all since the French Internet girlfriend in 2000. I haven't "liked" a particular girl since 2002 and I haven't attempted to date a girl since 2003. I was a paid member of Frumster for one month and there was only one woman that didn't send the automatic message that says you're not interested but she wouldn't go any further than talking once online because she didn't want to wait to get married. She wanted to get married right away.

Yacov - I must be going insane. Does the "Ask JTF for Future Shows" section still exist. I can't find it. Well here's my question for July 8 - can you move it to there wherever that is? :
Dear Chaim,
I know most Rap music today is Shvartza "Yo-yo-yo" crap - but what do you think of Subliminal? I actually think he has some pretty good stuff.

Dear Chaim,
there have been a few times I have been very critical of England, but those times I never had time to go to check Ask JTF so I don't know your reaction. I don't think there are archives for the audios.
I want to say that I hope you realise now about Tony Blair the head of the Nazi Quartet. I have told the Jews about Blair for ages that hes a Jew hate, and they say he is pro-Israel. And Chaim, it's not like in Israel where Jews on a whole don't know the truth. blair published fyling pig election posters 2 years ago about the Conservatives. These Jews love Blair no matter what , and they say this isn't anti-Semitic. To be honest Chaim I hope these Jews get what they deserve, especially as they pretend they are religious.
My question is why are the Jews in England so obssessed with anal sex: and these are the ones that wear Kippas in North London and take it off when they come to my area (They say it is ok - I think they are hiding their homosexuality?)

Shalom Chaim,
Question: how many Israeli establishment politicians who support Arab Muslim Nazis actually live in mixed neighborhoods with them the way they demand the commoners do? EVERY SINGLE ONE lives in gated, all-Jewish country-club communities patrolled by armed guards! The REAL reason they support Canaanite Arab Nazi scum, besides wanting investment from Euro and Arab Nazi countries, is simple: cheap labor! Arabs do pretty much all unskilled or laborious jobs in Israel--just look at who is building that idiotic "security wall" bisecting tiny Israel. Who cares if they can't afford to eat, go to school, and go to the doctor: that's what the Israeli taxpayer is for!

Chaim: Do you think that a MORTAL man named Jesus existed in the years 8 B.C.E. to 38 A.D. in the villages of Bethlehem, Nazazreth and Jerusalem, was a reformer and ran afoul of the Jewish authorities and Roman administrators and was executed by Roman soldiers, probably by crucifixion? Do you believe that a mortal man named Muhammed lived from 570-632 A.D. in the cities of Mecca and Medina and really existed?

Dear Chaim,
I recently commented on a friend's blog about how we need to render oil worthless, and another friend responded with the following:
We can use alternate sources to heat our houses, and produce electricity but finding an alternate to oil for automobiles won't happen in our lifetimes. Without the internal combustion engine, we would grind to a halt real fast. So far, petroleum is the only thing that can efficiently operate these engines.
What do you say? I remember a while back, there was an article on the JTF web site about Brazil becoming completely energy independent.
Thanks!

What's wrong with eating pigs? They're not any dirtier than other farm animals?
It is said that they taste like humans.
Now creepy crawlers, whether terrestrial or aquatic, I understand. I used to have marine shrimps in my fish tank. They are very pretty and colourful, but they eat crap. They can't wait; they yank it right out of an on-coming fish's rear.
So I think twice about eating giant underwater bugs.

Hello Chaim
Many argue that talk of attacking Iran is foolish and dangerous, as this could bring a harsh response to Israel and Iran’s 30,000 Jews. They argue that we should only rely on Hashem for protection and we need to turn to the Shomer Yisrael – as there are no realistic responses to the threats we face. Would you say Iran’s Jews could come home and an attack on Iran is viable and worth it in the long run, we must not rely on miracles but do hishdadlut?
Thank you,

Hello Chaim,
I just want to clarify that I feel that the humor people poke at the expense of blacks and arabs distracts from trying to find real ways to deal with the problems we face from these people. The affirmative action forum has turned into a forum where black jokes are 90% of the posts. How is the helpful for saving Israel and America? It also has the added problem of attracting white supremicists or crazies like Fruit of the Loins. And in terms of the arabs, when we make comments condemning all arabs we condemn the Christian arabs who don't hate Israel or America. As for anti-Christian comments on the board, you truly should spend some time here and see what people are saying. I'm not accusing YOU of being anti-Christian though.
Also, I wish you didn't suggest that I might be uncomfortable with insulting nazis during WW2. That is a low blow and something I thought you would be above.

Dear Chaim,
I think that the Allen-t blowup in indiciative of the problem of accepting help and support from the Evangelical movement. They support Israel and give a lot of money to help Israel and then say As Allen-t did, "After all I've done for you. Now allow us to set up missionaries all over Israel. Accept "Messianic" Judaism as legitimate Judaism( and not Baptist Christianity which is what it is.)" What answer do you have for them when they call us ingrates?

Hello again Chaim
Thanks for addressing my comments last week.
I wish to remain as a member of JTF, as I believe that Islam is the single greatest physical threat in the world today and JTF is one of the few groups who dares to tell the truth about it, however if you do not want a member with the beliefs that I have I will leave, for your convience I will briefly outline the beliefs that I think you may object to.
Christianity is based on certain beliefs, and cannot stand up if for instance it was also stated that Christianity should not be preached to Jews, for a start it was founded by Jews...
I have now been reading a translation of the tanakh from a Jewish website, and I have found no contradictions with my beliefs, I'm not going to argue them here as I am not on JTF to preach to Jews.
I believe that it is ultimately right for everyone to become a Christian.
Regarding the covenant in the Tanakh, any Jew who keeps every single commandment there will of course goto heaven, but has anyone ever lived there entire life without breaking one of them at least once? Regarding those who don't believe in Jesus and can't keep every single commandment, I don't know, I have no idea about what would happen to them after death, some may goto heaven some may goto hell, or there may be some in between place for some of them, I don't know, I don't have the right to say who goes where, only G-d can condemn someone to hell.
I want to remain a member of JTF, if you however are uncomfortable with having a member of your organisation with the beliefs stated above just say so and I will leave.
Shalom.

Dear Chaim. First of all, I'd like to say that I'm very glad that I've found JTF. I used to think that I was the only one in the world to hold the views that I do because they are so "extreme." It's nice to find a bunch of people among whom my opinions are mainstream.
Secondly, I'd like to ask what you think about art. Would art be allowed in Israel? Would there be art museums with classical art (including nude paintings and sculpture), classical music, theater, dance? I personally love art in different forms, but I know that there is an uneasy relation between art and religion. Judaism, in particular, is against the graven image. Could you please elaborate? Thank you.

Dear Chaim,
Do you think that all Muslims, unless they leave Islam, will go to Hell after they die, regardless of how they lived?

Shalom Chaim and Thank you as always for your hard work and answering my questions.
I know you are a great supporter of Pat Robertson because of his great support of Israel, but how do you explain his enthusiastic support of Rudiot Giuliani?

Hello Chaim
When we take over America and Israel, what should we do about pro sports? When I was in highschool I did play football and baseball, and do enjoy pro hockey (maybe the only sport left that isn't dominated by blacks) but did not take it to college level cause these guys end up with broken bodies by the time they are 35, 40 years of age with all surgeries and bodies falling apart. And of course most sports promote physical fitness for young people. How do we promote athletic competition, whether team or individuals without making it for people to be totally obsessed?
Thanks as always, ( FROM ONE CHRISTIAN THAT WILL NOT ABANDON THE CAUSE )

Dear Chaim,
You have mentioned in an interview on A7 that the Romanian government wanted to bring in thousands of Arab Muslim terrorists from Gazza and they hold discussions on this subject with the Israeli government, who was crazy enaugh to refuse that.
Would you like to elaborate a little? How did this piece of information come to your knowledge?
I know that there are some very stupid individuals in the Romanian government, but I never could have imagined something like that.
Btw, we are several JTFers of Romanian extraction on the forum, Christians and Jews. I hope that, at some point, we'll be able to create a JTF Romania or maybe our Serbian and Greek brothers would like to join forces with us against the Turkish Islamic aggression.
Shalom.

I am a South African Boer, and have just recently joined. Thank You VERY much for all your wonderful work for helping the Boers and whites of Africa. Now, i am also from African Crisis-thank you for joining the alliance with us-I KNOW that we WILL make a difference!
Now, I have asked this question before, but I was unaware of how you will answer it-and so, I mised your answer. So PLEASE excuse me. Anyway, I am Christian and I want to join the IDF in 2010. Im wondering, would it be possoble for a non-Israeli Gentile to be able to join the IDF?
I have ALWAYS supported Israel and the Jews, and I am slowly learning Hebrew.

Hello Chaim,
I am new to the forums but have been watching JTF programming since 1995 as I used to live in Jamaica, Queens. Luckily I managed to escape!
I have often heard you mention the importance of Jews learning the Hebrew language. I am assuming this is primarily to be able to study the Bible properly. The Greek Orthodox have a similar view in that we think in order to interpret the New Testament clearly you must be very familiar with the original greek text.
My question is, what is your view of the Septuagint translation of the Bible? What is the view of most Jewish scholars and is it still in use anywhere in the Jewish religious community?
I'm sorry to hear of the recent friction caused by so called Christians. Unfortunately anybody can call themselves a Christian but very few live up to the true teachings of the Church.
Thank you for all your great work.

Hello Chaim
Are you and the forum trying to change blacks?
Is that the reason for the forum?, because some people on here seem to think that.
There seems to be crying liberals among us.
Please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi Chaim,
wow. I just want to thank you for your wonderful work. You really are making a difference! I pray to G-d that your work will continue and I hope that one day we can be friends in Israel.
my question: who exactly are the modern Amalekites? I understand who they are in the context of the Bible as a nation that attacked the Jews in the desert.
But who are they currently? Are they a huge group of millions of people? Will they all be eliminated in Messianic age or will they die before the Moshiach comes? Or maybe enough of them will die that the rest have no power?

hello again Chaim,
Where do you stand on the beliefs of Israels expansion territorially. The reason why i ask is because i believe after you said all jews are meant to live in israel, i ask how is israel with its small size suppose to fill an extra 7-8 million inhabitance.
Thanks always chaim

Hi Chaim,
Did you try to fundraise in the Syrian Jewish community? I think you will be successful if you do that, because that community has a firsthand experience with Muslim Nazi terrorists. Will you be willing to speak in their shuls?

Shalom Chaim.
From last weeks story, you seem to get on extremely well with rabbis because you share their wisdom in Torah and Judaism. So, i was wondering, why you yourself did not become a rabbi? Or did you prefer to be a political activist?
Thank you,

Today the New York Nazi Times ran an obituary for Moshe Decter, 85, "Advocate for Soviet Jews". Although he fought in WWII and won a Purple Heart, which is commendable on its own, my guess is that he was simply an establishment apparatchik and did little, if anything notable for Soviet Jewry. Of course, the article doesn't even mention the JDL but points to Gerald Ford's signing of trade legislation in 1975 as having the effect of allowing Jews to emigrate. What was Moshe Decter's real role in the struggle?
If you have time, can you devote a future show to teaching a lesson from the Torah or Jewish history? In other words, please bring in a little more Judaism into the shows when you can. JTF is really my only source of Jewish education at this point.

Dear Chaim,
Shalom. Thank you for answering my question about the government agencies. For a long time I didn't think that the ATF and IRS are kosher at all. I have my eyes set on the US Marshalls. I'll keep you posted.
My comment for today is this: In your answer to me about these agencies you mentioned how they are corrupt. I would like to paint a picture for you of more government corruption in our military. For brevity's sake I'll have to do a piece at a time every week. As a Veteran I can tell you honestly and now that it's been declassified, the origin of the name "Al-Qaeda" is actually the name of a department of defense computer program that lists the names of Wahabis that we trained and put into power so that they would fight the Soviets in the 80s, that is now returning to bite us in the "tuchus!" But the rabbit hole gets deeper. More next week.......

Chaim, last week when you talked about the incident with R' Mordechai Eliyahu's son, I almost fell off my chair since that Thursday (2 wks ago) at 3 AM I woke up from my sleep with a very strong feeling that you will arrive in Israel shortly and imagined us celebrating your return to the holy land. I thought nothing of this until you mentioned that miraculous story so maybe there is something to it and something good is going to happen.

Dear Chaim,
What is your opinion on NASA? To be quite frank with you, I am ashamed that most of the agency was filled with Nazis from top to bottom. From the men putting the astronauts into the capsules from the ones desining the rockets. Werner Von Braun YM"SM, the father of the V-2 rocket and the Nasa program being the highest. He also visited Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp. It again is still shameful that the US let them in. I am sure you know of operation paperclip.

Hello Dear Chaim,
Hope all is well with you. I recently caught a few documentaries about prison and was reminded of the horrifying dangers and evil of the prison system. Again, thank G-d you made it out alive. This week I wanted to ask you about your release from prison. How did you find out about the great news? What were your emotions? Were you able to share the news with your family and supporters? How did you celebrate your freedom? Thanks for the great work as always. Until next week, G-d willing.

Dear Chaim,
Have you ever been plagued with indecision? I'm considering moving out of NY for career purposes and also because the thought of working in Manhattan is disgusting to me. I want to leave NY, yet it has been my home all of my life and I fear I would make the wrong decision and miss my family and friends. I have a real bad case of indecision.
Thanks for your time

Dear Chaim,
I was called a heretic for saying that I don’t believe in afterlife. I have always relied on Torah as a primary source of reference and did not find any reference to existence of hell or afterlife there. There are plenty of examples how HaShem punishes people in this world and, to the best of my modest knowledge, there is nothing that would refer to their souls being tortured in hell. I have always thought of fate as something that would happen in this world and not in any other dimension. Please help me clarify this issue.

Hi Chaim, can a jew who davens three times a day, keeps shabbos and does all the other mainstream mitzvos ever avoid burning in hell if he lives in America and acts in the selfish, unsacrificing manner the chasidim in Boro Park and the Litvaks in Lakewood do. These people just want to live here in comfort and they are not willing to give up one thing to help Jews. Most of them are literally praying for Israels destruction and I was wondering what you think their reward will be? Thank you so much Chaim.

Hello Chaim,
What is your opinion on the new French President Sarkozy? (so-called Conservative)
I heard that he has very strong ties to the top Muslim leaders in France and has made alliances with them to get their support. I feel that all the hype about France getting back on the right track is a farce, they're in bigger trouble than once thought.
All the best,
Dan
