Israel has been functioning without a budget for the past couple of years, apparently in order to keep Bibi in charge.  And now that he is not PM, he’s trying to keep the proposed budget from getting passed.  What does it mean for us?  that maybe we’ll have some order.  and maybe there will be some order in the other communities as well.  Everything is so upside down here – even the supermarket site that I’ve been using online for the past dozen years or so it turns out is favoring the ultra-religious, offering them prices that total more than a third less.  And the ultra-religious schools and communities are said to receive more than double the funding, but it isn’t traceable because there is no budget.  I’m praying the situation is equalized.  I’m sure that most of the society – ultrareligious and not – would prefer an organized method of distributing funding.  

The voting is tonight.
