Quote of the Day
An exchange between 2 MKs will be the Quote of the Day for today...
You ruled over us for 40 years. Stop, actually we were your slaves for 40 years. We also left Egypt.
-- MK Nissim Zeev (Shas), to Mk Uri Maklev (UTJ), while fighting about supporting the proposed "Amar Law". Maklev fought vociferously against the law and was upset that Zeev and others from Shas were supporting it.
We raised you, we made you.
-- MK Uri Maklev (UTJ), in response to MK Nissim Zeev's angry expression saying that Shas no longer has to listen to UTJ

maklev said that? what a racist jerk
ReplyDeleteI expected this to be from Gafni rather than Maklev, but it was Maklev..
DeleteBut in the end, how did Shas vote...?
ReplyDeletethey ended up pulling the bill and removing it from the table. maybe they didnt actually leave this Egypt...
Deletelistening this morning to rav ovadia speak about the situation, about how people came to him and "explained the situation", i was left thinking "why do we need this?"
Deletewhy do we need what?
Deletethe chief rabbi's office.
Deletethere is such a movement, to get rid of the whole thing. I dont think its a bad idea. the chief rabbi doesnt do all that much. instead we could simply appoint an av beis din. Plenty of countries do just fine without a chief rabbi. I dont know if the ceremonial benefit of a chief rabbi is worth all the fighting and dirt, but I am not sure.
DeleteCan someone list an actual benefit to the Chief Rabbi position, or what he does that couldnt be accomplished otherwise?
