Selecting a Quote of the Day for today was tough, as I found a few that would each qualify... so I will offer four quotes for today:
1. Specifically when the Haredim are showing signs of integration, they are being banned.. I have not heard of someone sitting with them even one time to come to understandings regarding the issues of work and the draft. They are just banning them. Instead of bringing them closer, and integrating them, we are bringing polarization and animosity. Yair Lapid has interviewed the entire world, he could have interviewed people from the Haredi camp and from Shas, and speak with them.
-- Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv Rav Yisrael Meir Lau
2. Yair Lapid is entering the Finance Ministry with an empty toolkit. He has no experience in finance and he has no political experience. But I hope that he has intelligence and has the ability to learn. He must build for himself a group of external people - former directors, etc. who will help him with the humongous backload that will be waiting for him. Not everything that he said during the elections will he be able to fulfill
-- former Finance Minister Avraham Baiga Shochat
3. At home we learned that actions are important and not words. We are men of action. When I have what to say, I will say it.
-- MK Yair Shamir (Likud Beyteynu), explaining why he still has not given his inaugural speech in the Knesset
4. I think the Jews’ place is in Israel, regardless of economic or diplomatic or political calculations. A Jew should be in Israel.
-- Minister of Social Welfare Moshe Kachlon, at an aliyah event in new York
