Like it or not, new elections are upon us in Bet Shemesh. At least until an appeal to the Supreme Court is filed and decided upon.
Thinking about it briefly, it seems God has given us a do-over. The perfect opportunity for teshuva - get put into the same situation and the second time around act better, more appropriately - don't commit the same sin the second time.
Whatever your sin, if you sinned, might have been the first time around, whether it was talking badly about the other candidate, talking badly about his supporters, talking badly about other parties or their supporters, whether it was physical activities - tearing down signs defacing signs, or whatnot.. .We all have the opportunity to do this again in a better, more civil way. We should all, myself included, look at our behavior and figure out how do do it better this time, how to support our preferred candidate without getting nasty and being mean, without being hateful and spiteful. Support whichever candidate you want, but please let's not go through another mean-spirited campaign again like we had last time..
We have the chance for a do-over. Let's do it over properly. Let's elect a mayor peacefully this time.
