Rabbi Avi Grossman: Learn Torah on Election Day!

Authored by: העורך Editor

I recommend reading the whole article over here.

An excerpt:

… Therefore, election day is basically a national emergency day, and we should pray that somehow God grants us the wisdom to choose what is right.

…

The Knesset elections are to be held on Tuesday, the fourth of Nisan (April 9), and because it is inappropriate to hold a public fast day during Nisan, I propose that the previous day, Monday, the third of Nisan, be declared a day of extra prayer, while on election day laymen should be encouraged to spend a significant part of their work holiday in the study halls.

Again, see the rest here.
