Peron is an idiot for making this change now only a few months before the summer while the organized world already has stuff planned and now needs to be changed. At least Gideon Saar had the brains to make change but push it off for the year after so everyone could prepare. Peron is from the Lapid bunch that does first and thinks second (like the premature announcement of Uri Ariel's no-sales tax <br />on apartments).<br />The days between yom kippur and succot are rarely a few 4-5 days. A week long Hanukah allows many organizations and matnases to plan Hanukah camps - now it won't be as feasible to plan a whole project just for 2-3 days. Cutting Pesach holiday by two days? Drop in the bucket. This is a brilliant PR plan to keep his face in the media. (did you know that in polls he is the most popular politician?)<br /><br />It's time to add more teaching days and increase the teachers' salary.
