Controversies

In the past, Simhon published an article in The Marker, titled "A Family with 8 Children is a Sin", which draw a lot of criticism. In the article, Simhon asked why

"We are not like Sweden, Finland and Denmark, and what is the iron ceiling that prevents Israel from joining the 10 or 15 most prosperous countries in the world? The reason lies in the fact that in Israel two large groups - ultraorthodox and arabs - Almost completely different from the rest of the economy." [4]
