Education Minister Rabbi Shai Piron admitted during an appearance on a children's program on educational television that he takes Ritalin in difficult moments.
""I recently traveled to Poland," the minister said on the program, "and we arrived at a very important and very boring ceremony, and I didn't know how I was going to sit for three hours in the freezing cold, with a language I don't understand, and I also have to sit in the front row, like a minister." Then he revealed: "I'm not ashamed to say that if I have to take Ritalin or some other pill on very special days, I'm not ashamed to use it.".
The Minister of Education clarified that he does not use Ritalin on a daily basis, but said that in difficult moments, he also uses the pills.

""I don't use it every day, but there are days when I am aware of the difficulty, and to cope with the feeling - I use Ritalin. Being a whole person means recognizing the fact that you also have shortcomings and in those moments knowing how to use what is needed...""
