Q&A: Regarding the Upcoming Elections
Regarding the Upcoming Elections
Question
Have a good week, Rabbi,
Who are you planning to vote for in the upcoming elections? What do you think of Gideon Sa'ar?
Answer
I still don’t have definite plans. Sa'ar seems reasonable to me. Bennett could have been better (especially now that he’s without the religious guys), but he might go with Bibi. Also, I don’t know everyone on Sa'ar’s list, but usually that doesn’t really matter.

There’s a limit to how much humiliation I’m willing to endure 🙂
If anything, I’d consider Lieberman.
I’m curious—what are the Rabbi’s guiding lines in deciding whom to vote for? Whoever will give more economic freedom? Whoever is more in favor of separating religion and state? Whoever is more against the Haredim? I’m asking seriously, not as a jab. Because I don’t really understand the difference between Lieberman and Lapid. They seem pretty similar to me overall.
They seem pretty similar to me too.
I don’t have criteria, since in any case nobody even lives up to what he himself promises or thinks.
What about Smotrich?
He seems like a wise and effective person, but not in directions I believe in.
What about the pathetic idiot incarnated in the flesh as Yair Lapid (whom I, for one, will shut my eyes really tight and support)
