Former Rishon L�Tzion Rabbi Shlomo Moshe Amar Shlita spoke about the recent passing of the new draft law. He said �I ask that regarding all that pains us, to daven to Hashem to give sinning hears �binah��. He calls on the tzibur to be mispallel that lawmakers should do teshuvah.
During a shiur he was giving in the Shmuel HaNavi neighborhood of Yerushalayim, the rav stated �We must increase limud Torah and I ask that for all those who are pained to daven that Hashem gives the sinning hearts binah and to daven for their good and not for ours�.
The rav explains �we are not afraid for we have known worse�, but urges us to daven on their behalf, the lawmakers who voted for the draft bill enabling it to pass into law.

“binah” for legislators – that is sort of contrary to their nature, not only in Israel but everywhere else
perhaps hope for “hesed” – politicians are usually good at that since they love to give things to people
perhaps hope for “ahavah” -politicians tend to want to embrace anyone and everyone who does them favors
