but, what do you get?

my next-door neighbor, here in this small town in Israel, had 3 feet of sewer water in her basement erev pesach, ruining all the merchandise in her run-from-the-basement store. the cause? during the original construction of the house, just a few years before (with a jewish contractor) a helpful arab worker never connected the house’s sewer line to the city’s sewer line. instead he plugged it with, drum roll please, a coke bottle. therefore, two years of raw sewage from that family’s home backed up and returned to pay a pre-yom-tov visit.

oh, and my brother’s newly renovated gorgeous apartment in Yerushalayim. his kablan was chareidi- had a kid in my nephew’s gan. the kitchen sink was draining very slowly. diagnosis- a very carefully placed rock in the pipe.

when are we going to learn?

Let the Arabs employ each other, instead of the Yidden employing them. There are plenty of Yidden looking to do an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay; especially in today’s economic climate.
