We need to cut the red tape that makes it overly costly and time-consuming to build new housing (or just to fix up your house) or to open a new business. We need to provide training for young people who wish to enter careers that are well-paying and that our community needs more of.
A key challenge for our community is finding more people in various fields who are willing to chip in. If more attorneys and others would step up, they would end up leading a much more fulfilling life. Countless hours can lead to countless lives being saved.

You asked about the American administration. Right after September 11th, they all agreed they must destroy Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. And they did it. We must defeat Hamas if we want to survive.

Concepts are not the same as words. Anybody can look up a word in a dictionary and translate it the way you like. We assume a concept means the same thing in every language. But cultures don't communicate -- they clash.

To the Arabs, there is nothing magical about the lines drawn in the 1948-49 map. Those borders do not matter. The land is completely Muslim.

It started at the young age of 12 when I became associated with one of the leading rabbis of the last 100 years, Rav Avigdor Miller. He was a genius in human relations and I sucked up as much knowledge as I could learn from him.

I hope everyone understands that these savages don’t differentiate between Orthodox, Ultra-Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, secular, right wing, left wing. They want to annihilate all of us. It’s exactly the Nazi ideology.

An interview with the author
Rabbi Gold, who passed away this week at 88, was known for feisty and infectious Zionist passion and for biting witticism. He understood God’s love for all Jews in absolute terms (which he sought to emulate absolutely), and he understood God’s grant of the Land of Israel to the Jewish People in absolute terms, in a totality wrapped with kedusha, holiness. These are not gifts that one can simply fritter away.
