I am happy that finally, after 3 years in the Knesset, Yair Lapid and Yesh Atid have an accomplishment - that I will be a minister because of the Supreme Court. They have no accomplishments in housing, none in economics, no social accomplishments, and nothing else. The only thing they have is that they have now added a few shekels to my salary. I don't need their favors, but after the decision of the Council of Torah Sages, I respect it.
-- Deputy Minister (soon-to-be-minister) of Health Yaakov Litzman

Best quote I've ever heard from Litzman!
ReplyDeleteDegel and Agudah agreeing to fully participate in the government is not a small accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteHe should make tshirts for Lapid's staff, with the message: I used Bagatz to attack the chareidim, and all I got was this t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteThe seculars are desperate to make the country a more religious place. Forcing Haredim into the army, the workplace and into the government will guarantee that more and more of their kids will be exposed to religious people and Judaism. The seculars will be responsible for making Israel a halachic state :-)
