Rabbi Avi Grossman: Learn Torah on Election Day!

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.
