Episode 8 - The Kahlon Tax Plan, and Good News from the Chareidi World - a podcast by Rabbi Dov Lipman

With a 5 billion NIS budget surplus, Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon presented a series of tax cuts and subsidies to help Israel's middle class. Are there drawbacks? Why did he announce his plan without first informing Prime Minister Netanyahu? Rabbi Dov Lipman and Scott Kahn discuss the issues involved.
Also in this episode: Israel Army Radio reports that there are more Chareidi officers than ever before in the Israeli army; moreover, the first ever official Chareidi Yom HaZikaron commemoration is taking place next week. What do these and other indicators say about the direction of Chareidi society - and how are these developments related to the intense street protests that have taken place over the past few months?
