Manhigut Yehudit
The First 100 Days In Office

Manhigut Yehudit's working plan for its first 100 days in government
By Moshe Feiglin in his new book, "The War of Dreams".
Originally written in October 2000.

Part 6
Weeks Seven and Eight
Economy and Society

Seventh Week:
Economy

Jewish labor will be encouraged. Foreign workers, including the Arabs of Judea and Samaria , will no longer be allowed to work in Israel, with the exception of those foreign workers employed to care for invalids or the elderly on an individual basis. The foreign workers currently in the country will be returned to their countries of origin in a fair and honorable manner.

Government owned companies will be privatized and sold to the public and not to mafia-controlled monopolies, as has been the case until now.

Government involvement in the economy will be downscaled as much as possible. The government will encourage investment and maximum profitability while reducing its expenditure.

The wages of ministers, Knesset members and public employees will be linked to the average wage.

Sunday will not be a work day. On this day, people will be free to shop, attend sports events and take care of personal matters. Shabbat will be designated as a traditional day of rest and development of Jewish identity. No non-essential public or commercial activity will take place on this day.

Workers will be encouraged to save part of their wages in a special Social Security Shemita (Seventh Sabbatical year according to Jewish law) fund to be used as a partial or full sabbatical (as is the established norm in academia) during the Shemita year. All the workers' rights will be preserved during this year. The Shemitah year will become a time for a spiritual and cultural “time-out” and recharging of Jewish identity batteries for the upcoming six years. Israel ’s economy during the Shemita year will work at a level that will maintain its achievements. Growth will be planned for the six years in between Shemita.

The banking system will be realigned to conform to the laws of the Torah regarding interest and loans.  Overdraft in personal accounts will be prohibited.

Personal financial difficulties will be relieved by community based free-loan societies. During the Shemita, the loan societies will determine which loans will be forgiven as per Jewish law relating to loans in the Shemita year.

Determined tax collection from those sectors of the public that had violently evaded payment.

Eighth Week:
Society

The State of Israel had been built as a centralized, homogenous society. The built-in Bolshevism in the Labor ideology was expressed by the “Israeli melting-pot,” whose purpose was to insert all the immigrant groups and ideologies into the Labor party kiln and to reshape them as Labor party enthusiasts. In this way, a unique "democratic" system was developed in Israel , in which the entire country is one voting precinct; parties -- not individual representatives -- are elected and the state interferes in every aspect of life.

The Jewish State will return to the traditional community based structure, as is accepted in most democracies today. Elections will be regional, the voters will be acquainted with their elected representatives and the responsibility for determining social atmosphere will be wrested from the state and restored to the individual or community.
