Senior National Insurance Official: "Children's Allowance Recipients Hit Twice"
by G. Lazar

According to a senior official at the National Insurance Institute, sectors that are eligible for children's allowances for large families are hit twice in the new budget: by the 12 percent reduction in children's allowances to be implemented as part of the two percent cutback on government ministries in the 2002 national budget, and even before that by the 50 percent erosion in real terms over the past 25 years because the allowances are not linked to the average nationwide income as are most transfer payments.

A Kiss From Hashem
by KSR

Sometimes things don't work out the way we had planned or wished. Maybe even several times a day something happens differently than what we had intended. We miss the bus. There's traffic. We wanted to go shopping but the store was closed. So what do we do? Do we rant? No. Of course not. Do we feel upset or disappointed? Perhaps. But then we shake ourselves back to reality and with a heavy sigh, mutter, "This is also for the good." But what exactly is that `good'?
