Worth A Read 31.01.2011 - And Quote of the Day

• The Haredi worldview enters the mainstream Dati-Leumi theology [Hebrew] - a must read (though not a must to agree with).
• Israel 2011:Better Than Ever - Yaacov Lozowick.
• The Haredi Reaction - Slifkin on the Haredi reaction to the ongoing Beit Shemesh saga.
• Welcoming the Haredi Spring 

Quote of the Day goes to Israel's interior minister Eli Yishai from Shas (A Haredi political party) who explains his objection to splitting Beit Shemesh into two cities - A Haredi and Non Religious city - by stating that a Haredi city can't finance itself without the income from non religious people paying  municipal taxes (arnona) and creating industry.
