A surprising meeting took place between MK Avi Maoz, chairman of the Noam Le'Israel party, and Rabbi Shaul Alter, Rosh Yeshiva of the "Pnei Menachem" community, ahead of the upcoming 26th Knesset elections. Rabbi Alter expressed his high regard for Maoz's political activities, noting the significance of his name, Avigdor, linking it to Moses as one who "mended the breaches of Israel." He concluded by wishing Maoz success in all his endeavors.
This blessing from Rabbi Alter follows similar endorsements for "Noam Le'Israel" from Rabbi Yitzhak Barada, head of "Yitzhak Yare'nan" institutions in Ashkelon, Rabbi Dekel Cohen and Rabbi Lior Cohen, both sons-in-law of the late Rabbi M. Mazuz, and Rabbi Uriel Mazuz, nephew of Rabbi M. Mazuz and CEO of Darchei Ha'iyun institutions, as well as several Chabad rabbis. The party is actively seeking support from additional communities, reporting significant appeal within the Haredi sector.
The "Noam Le'Israel" party, led by MK Avi Maoz, has been targeting the Sephardic-Torah observant voter base since rebranding and announcing its independent run. Recent additions to the party include retired Lieutenant Colonel Eliyahu Liebman, former head of the Kiryat Arba-Hebron local council, Shimon Toubul, former deputy mayor of Beersheba, Yiska Haimov, sister of Shin Bet head David Zini, and Liora Allon, an educator and public figure.
At the party's official election rally in Jerusalem, Maoz presented a comprehensive education reform plan he intends to implement as Minister of Education. The proposed reform, based on nine core principles, aims to reduce class sizes, strengthen Jewish identity, restore parental choice, and improve the status of teachers.
