Jews in the US will be following the election campaigns and results with heightened expectations. Each of us may be favoring one party or leader. But are we sufficiently familiar with how the system works? This is a rare opportunity to learn about the ins and outs of the Israeli parliamentary system:  \n– When are elections called? \n– How does a government fall? \n– The roles of public and private financing of campaigns \n– The mechanisms for building ruling coalitions \n– The role of primaries and the forming of party slates \n– Who appoints cabinet ministers? \n– The differences between national and municipal elections \n– The President’s role in choosing a leader to form a governing majority
