Dear Rabbi: With elections approaching in Israel, I am searching for a religious political party for which to vote.

People don’t want to be told to sacrifice, especially because they suspect that the elite isn’t doing so and that this same elite is responsible for the mess. So they can be—easily?—manipulated into voting for those who tell them to eat, drink and be merry, with a minimal tax on billionaires and millionaires paying off the caterer.
The Syrian military continues to pound opposition strongholds as voting stations opened around the country to decide on a new constitution.
