Members of Knesset from the United Torah Judaism party spent the Sukkot holiday working around the clock to launch their election campaign, which is less than a month away. They participated in Simchat Beit HaShoeva celebrations and Hakafot Shniyot events in dozens of communities across the country, from the south to the north. The lawmakers also paid visits to prominent rabbis and leaders of Torah institutions for blessings and guidance.
On the eve of the first holiday, a gathering of hundreds of Degel HaTorah representatives was held at the Tzfia Hotel in Kibbutz Chafetz Chaim. During this event, the official launch of the election campaign was announced. Party leaders, including Rabbi Y. Efrati, Rabbi N. Zochavsky, Chairman Yaakov Asher, Chairman of the Degel HaTorah auxiliary Moshe Gafni, and Menachem Shapira, addressed the attendees. Notably, MK Maklev was absent due to the recent passing of his young daughter-in-law.
Throughout the holiday, MK Yaakov Asher and other Degel HaTorah MKs visited leading rabbis, including Rabbi D. Landau and Rabbi M. H. Hirsch, who offered warm blessings for the upcoming campaign. A rare visit was also made to Rabbi D. Segal, who typically refrains from political endorsements. The article emphasizes the critical nature of this election, citing concerns over the perceived persecution of Torah scholars.
Other prominent figures, including MK Meir Porush, MK Yitzchak Goldknopf, designated MKs Moshe Rosenthal and Yehuda Weissfish, MK Yitzchak Pindrus, designated MK Elikim Stark, and designated MK Dudi Zaltz, were also actively engaged in holiday events, visiting rabbis, participating in community gatherings, and addressing supporters. These activities included attending Simchat Beit HaShoeva celebrations, Hakafot Shniyot, and meetings with constituents, all aimed at bolstering the party's position ahead of the elections.
