Election Results In

The elections are over and unfortunately - another Chilul Hashem. For 67 consecutive years since the birth of the Jewish, the leader is ... not Jewish.

Well, biologically he is very Jewish, no less than you or I. But in practice - he is more or less like any goy. No davening three times a day, no kippah or tzitis, no Shabbos etc. etc. אין אומתנו אומה אלא בתורותיה - famously proclaimed Rav Saadya Gaon. If one does not live his life in accordance with the Torah She-bichtav and Torah she-bi-al peh then he is living a goyish life. What a major tragedy that someone who is openly secular is leading our people in our HOLY LAND - which we only deserve when we keep the mitzvos. We are so used to the idea of a secular Prime Minister that it doesn't bother us so much but when you think about it you realize what a disgrace it is [and the fact the many religious people voted for him]. Not to mention the fact that the third largest party in the Knesset is Arab and would like nothing better than to see the destruction of the Jewish State. There is democracy for you....

Yes, yes - Netanyahu is better than the other candidate would have been but he is was and will be [until that magical day when he is chozer bi-tshuva] a secular-practicing-goy-biological-Jew. This means that the anti-semites want to kill him as much as they want to kill me and you but gives rise to the question of what all of this Zionism is worth is G-d is out of the picture. [And what he says to G-d when he goes to His Kotel, as he just did, when he doesn't plan on keeping His mitzvos].

Demographically, this will change in the forseeable future. Charedim get married young and have anywhere from 6-15 kids. My 19 year old daughter already has a few dozen girls in her grade who are either engaged or married [another one today!! Mazel Tov Malki!:-)]. Chilonim get married much later and have an average of 2 kids ["Yuval" and "Sigalit"] and one dog ["Poopsie"]. Chances are that one or both will end up in LA [the dog will remain here]. The majority of Jews in Israel will soon be religious and this of course will change the texture of the government.

R' Moishe Yankel Frumalevitch - Prime Minister!

I hope it never happens. I hope Moshiach comes and redeems us from this bitter galus. In Teaneck and Woodmere it is a galus bi-soch galus bi-soch galus [albeit COMFY!] while in Eretz Yisrael it is a galus bi-soch galus.

We must never feel complacent and satisfied with the present reality until we realize the prophetic visions of tikkun olam bi-malchus Sha-dai.

Amen!!
