Yair has actually had at least one slip of the tongue when he told people to vote recently for Shinui. <br /><br />When Shinui rose to power in those famed elections, they somehow managed to get permission for the Shin, but after they came apart and were not re-elected, their shin was released back.<br /><br />The letter system is also used in municipal elections. If you run for city council and want to use bet, you need to get permission from Mafdal. If you want to use the letter Shin, you have to get written permission from Shas. Yud is actually still owned by one of these parties that are/were in the Ichud Leumi: Tekuma or Moledet. <br />JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-91650991684907292092012-11-07T17:09:15.855+02:002012-11-07T17:09:15.855+02:00Who own the Yud?
