Got Yahusha? (AKA - Got Jesus?)
A proposal to require Israelis to conduct all their financial transactions electronically isn’t pie in the sky – in fact, it’s almost inevitable It almost sounds like the opening to a bad joke: The government is seeking to severely limit the use of cash, in order to afford the authorities greater control over the economy and prevent tax evasion.
