Free massages for Knesset Members

Good story in Monday's Yedioth Aharonoth about blind massagists coming to the Knesset today to offer free treatment to Knesset members and their staffs. It's part of a project meant to encourage employment for the handicapped.

According to the report, Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin and Likud Knesset Members Gila Gamliel and Ruhama Avraham were prepared to make time for a session.


Despite our political differences, I would
happily massage MK Avraham.

The blind, according to the report, are extremely good at giving massages because to compensate for their handicap they develop great sensitivity in their hands.

Most importantly, the report says that massages "will be given to Knesset members while they are fully dressed."
