Hgray"l to Gab"d: "Stay in the country to vote"

One who doubts the importance of participation in the municipal elections, may change his mind with the following story:

Gaon Av Beit Din and head for teaching in Bnei Brak, Rabbi Shevach Zvi Rosenblatt was supposed to go in a few weeks abroad to monitor the slaughter but suddenly it turned out that according to plan - at election time Hgrs"tz will be abroad, and cannot vote in his home in Modi'in Illit.

On the other hand, the possibility to change the flight date come up and bring it forward to next week - the first week of winter time, but Hgrs"tz was afraid his absence during the first week of the zman may lead to cancellation of the Torah.

With this question he came to Hgray"l Steinman to decide for him. Hgray"l said that if you can - then it is best to stay bring the trip forward, so he could vote, even if it will come at the expense of the first week of zman.
