Today on Tablet, our own Etgar Keret brings his son along with him to vote in the most recent Israeli election.
In the makeshift poll located in a nearby elementary school, I search all my pockets for my identity card, and for the first time, Lev asks what party I’m voting for. I ask him which party he thinks I should give my vote to, and after thinking for a second, he shoots back at me: “The one that gives the most peace.”
As always, it’s a great read. Check it out here.
