Reply To: Porush (NOT) for Mayor

I dont know much about Nir Barkat but I imagine that a deal can be struck with him as was done with Olmert and Kollek in years gone by. He certainly is not (yet) frum and doesnt listen to daas Torah but political stability is usually enough reason to make them see sense!! Even if he wins, he will need the chareidim to make a coalition so will be forced to buckle under!! As I have previously written, Porush isnt too much of a listener to daas Torah either and there is less to force him to too….

TOHIGHSCHOOLGUY: I understand and sympathise with your feelings but I was brought up and educated to sacrifice even larger things to follow daas Torah and I must admit that I have never lost out by doing so, even if at the time it seemed incorrect. For someone not brought up in this way it may seem strange and I appreciate that but try it out and see for yourself – “??? ???? ????? ????? ?????? ??”. In this case, the Gerrer Rebbe is not supporting Porush at this time nor have other Rabbonim/Admorim come out publicly in support of him so I hope to be saved of the problem….
