Government As Mother In Law
a: Government bureaucracy ~
b: pesky mother-in-law
What: "But once the Jew ties the knot with Israel by making aliyah, the honeymoon quickly fades and the reality of married Israeli life kicks in. For non-Hebrew speakers there are communication barriers; the government bureaucracy is like a pesky mother-in-law who kills the romance with endless, prying demands; it's hard to go out on dates when bogged down by financial worries because the oleh has trouble finding a good job."
