The Bill Passed!!!

If you haven't read it yet, check out the NY Times article exactly about what we're doing these days: here

Our office is filled with children and their parents hoping to get help applying for this naturalization process which grants children citizenship if A) they were born here and are entering first grade, or if they have been here 5 years or more, B) they speak Hebrew fluently, C) they attend Israeli schools, D) they came to Israel legally and overstayed their visa and now lack legal status, and E) can prove all of the above with documentation even though schools are closed and there is only a 3-week window in which to apply.

It is CRAZY here.
