Dear Chaim,
First of all, Happy Birthday!!!
G-d willing, next year in Jerusalem… in the Prime Minister’s office.
And if you put me in charge of Ministry Defense, the year after next - in Damascus.
I have a longer list of places where we will "visit" every year, but time is unfortunately limited.
My question today is as follows:
You once mentioned that you would prefer Israel to be a kingdom. According to our history, the kings we had had before were not always a jackpot for our people. I do realize that the Israeli prime ministers were not G-d’s gifts also. And I do realize that G-d will eventually send an anointed king of Israel, a descendant of King David, but what should we do in the meanwhile? Do we need a king now, and if yes, how should we find and appoint a king as such?
Thank you for your patience.
