Moving to Israel

With the national elections in Israel being on everyone’s minds in the Holy Land, it is hard to go very far without hearing some sort of discussion or debate about the country’s political future.

From left to right, you hear a true passion in the voice of the voters here that you probably will not see anywhere else in the world. This is largely due to the nature of politics within Israeli culture. Being a nation constantly under threat brings the voting to a more personal level and makes us all aware of how important our voting decisions are. Our general security is always tenuous and the people we vote into Knesset as leaders will face one grave decision after another.

While it is important to vote and to try and find the leaders who will guide us through yet another critical moment in our history, let us never forget where our true source of strength lives. We must always give thanks and pray before Hashem for it is He who ultimately decides our fate.

I wish everyone good luck on the day of elections and can say that, personally, leaders with a true faith in Hashem are the only ones who stand a chance at this Israeli’s vote.
