In an unusual development ahead of the elections, members of the Degel HaTorah Knesset list were summoned on Thursday to the sukkah of Rabbi Dan Segal, a prominent rabbinic leader, for consultations and blessings regarding the upcoming election campaign. This meeting is considered significant and dramatic because it marks the first time Rabbi Segal has held an official meeting with the Degel HaTorah list. The meeting holds particular weight given Rabbi Segal's past approach, where he has historically abstained from voting and from instructing others on how to vote. Details regarding the content of the consultation or specific remarks made during the meeting have not yet been released.
