Greetings Yesha. How do you deal with your patriotic feelings for the country you were born in if you choose to move to Israel? In other words, will you still feel patriotic to your birth country at all, or will your full loyalty turn to Israel and being part of the Jewish nation?

hi

do you do any exercise, if so what ?

Dear Yesha,

it is sad to hear that anti-semites have attacked your relatives. What do you think about establishing a network? If someone is attacked by Muslimes, Nazis or other evil people the affiliated persons could come together, go the the home of the offender and make it clear to this people that we will not accept it.
I think in the vast majority of cases this will be a non-violent action, because the vast majority of them are cowards. If they see, there is resistance, they will stop it. We have some members in Europe and I know that the price for flight or railway tickets is not so expensive.

Thank You,

Ulli

Dear Yesha what is your opinion on people with mental retardation?

Dear Ze'ev,

This is an anti-semitic rant posted on Obama’s website

For those of us who have been watching the Obama campaign closely, its overt tendencies toward anti-semitism are nothing new. But to many across the nation, and around the world, this has largely gone unnoticed, thanks in part to the media that has repeatedly turned a blind eye.
Regardless of the color of our skin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or creed; when one of us is singled out we must all stand up together and fight back. I am asking all of you, regardless of your religious affiliation, to sound the alarm to the American Jewish community, and America at large, about the danger posed by the Obama campaign.

This was found on the Obama website it has been scrubbed now

And remind them that Obama surrogates have openly attacked members of the Jewish community.

they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”
None of us can afford to remain silent. This may be the most urgent Action we publish. Spread it throughout the internet on every blog listed. It is especially vital that non-Jews answer this call. When we stand together, Jew and non-Jew alike, we make the urgency of the matter clear. As Rabbi Hillel said, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself what am I? If not now, when?” We must be for each other! The when is NOW!

Thank You,
Marie3548.

Chaim, and anecdotally, the late Rabbi Kahane, despised Holocaust Museums.  Being from Europe, have you ever visited Auschwitz or a similar holocaust site?  Chaim thinks they're "Oy Vey museums" and do nothing to prepare Jews for the next Nazi pogrom, nowadays coming from Arabs and black beasts like Farrakhan, Sharpton and, who knows, Obama; they prepare them to think of themselves as perpetually helpless, oppressed minorities.  They also venerate disgusting Nazis like Oskar Schindler and his wife Emilie, yimach shmam vezichram.  Do you have the same feeling on this matter as Chaim and the late Rabbi?

[Zelhar]

Shalom rav Zev,

You mentioned that you had spent some time studying in an Israeli yeshiva, to what school of Judaism does it belong (Charedi, Mizrahi...) ? Can you notice differences between the Orthodox Jews in England to the Orthodox of Israel, I believe that the the Charedi in exile are more modern and liberal than the Israeli ones is that so?

[Minuteman]

Dear Yesha

Back during the second Gulliani/Dinkins elections, Gulliani called for the voting booths to be checked for stuffed ballots and in certain areas of New York City, ballot booths were found to be stuffed with fraudulent ballots.  Do you think McCain should take the same precautions in regards to Obama, and do you think McCain will? 

God Bless America, Israel, and the West

Hello Dear YESHA,

  Thank you for answering my questions last show.
Is Britain a true ally of the United States nowadays, in your opinion? Do the British feel any "brotherhood sympathy" towards the American people, or do they feel like a complete different people with no connection whatsoever to the Americans besides the language? Do some British people bear an old grudge against the United States, or is this ancient animosity definitely over as far as the British are concerned?


Thank you as always for your time and effort in doing these great shows!

Gam Bashan veGam Gil'ad.

Hello Yesha,
there are many muslims in the UK where you live.
Some of them are from Porkistan and they hate the UK.
Do you ever talk to those disgusting animals?
For instance when you want to buy food or groceries...
Best wishes.

[YESHA]

This is from KahaneWasRight-BT:

Hello Yesha.  I think I remember from a previous show that you said you are looking forward to making aliyah in the next few years to live in yosh.  I wanted to ask in this week's program:  Are your parents supportive of your decision to make aliyah? 

 But I was not sure if this would be too personal or if you would feel comfortable answering that.  Please let me know if it is ok to ask.  Also, if you might elaborate on how that situation evolved it would be helpful.  My parents are very against the idea of me being a BT and keeping mitzvot, are against me going to Israel temporarily, and would certainly be against me making aliyah, so this is a very difficult situation for me and I would like to hear how others have dealt with this type of situation if you have been through this.  Thanks
