they are on other holi-
days.
A number of reasons
are given for this omis-
sion. Every since the ar-
rival of the Hebrews in
the land of Israel, Hallel-
is recited only as a means
of thanksgiving for those
miracles that occurred in
Israel. The miracle which
delivered the Jews in the
case celebrated on Purim,
having occurred outside
of Israel (i.e. in Persia),
does not call for the reci-
tation of Hallel (Erakin
10).
Others claim that since
the Book of Esther (i.e.
the Megila) is read on

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The economic package
deal to freeze wages,
prices, profits and. taxes
until after the May 17
election suffered a deci-
sive blow this week when
the National Religious
Party Knesset faction
said it would vote against
it.
The deal was worked
out two weeks ago -be-
tween the goVernment
and Histadrut in the hope
that it would gain the
support of some opposi-
tion factions. But with
the NRP's announce-
ment, there is no chance
to adopt it in the Knesset.
NRP Knesseters told
reporters that originally
they had their doubts
whether to support the
bill, but once the govern-
ment opened its coffers to
all comers -- a reference
to the recent massive
wage raises — the NREs
doubts were removed.
The government origi-
nally intended to imple-
ment the package deal in
the form of regulations
and ordinances in case it
could not succeed in hay,
ing the bill adopted in the
Knesset. However, accord-
ing to some legal experts
such measures cannot be
implemented by the
Cabinet without Knesset
approval.
Many companies have
already raised their
prices, for the very same
reasons that the workers
groups demanded wage
hikes — fear of the freeze.
The more money the pub-
lic has, the greater- de-
mand is felt in the
economy for consumer
products, and there are
already reports of revival
in the generally slow
market of consumer
goods.
The government is
likely to stick to its prom-

the destruction planned
by Haman was not ob-

like a contest between the
evil heart of Haman and

the Almighty's saving
