The newly formed Orthodox party, "The Orthodox Public," has unveiled its supreme rabbinical leadership, a ten-member spiritual committee tasked with guiding its policy and public activities. Rabbi Yehoshua Pepper, head of the 'Or Chadash' community in Ramot and director of 'Machon Iyun,' will chair the committee.
Other members include Rabbi Yosef Ben Arza, Rabbi Carmi Gross, Rabbi Uri Einhorn, Rabbi Daniel Myers, Rabbi Dov Ludmir, Rabbi Yitzchak Edelstein, Rabbi Daniel Lappin, Rabbi Moshe KauLand, and Rabbi Avraham Kimchi. The committee will address public and fundamental issues facing the party, particularly during the upcoming election campaign and beyond.
The party stated that the committee will provide ongoing rabbinical guidance, with fundamental decisions made in consultation with "the great rabbis who chart the party's path." This structure aims to ensure consistent rabbinical oversight of the party's operations.
Party Chairman Motty Leitner recently affirmed the party's commitment to running through the entire election period, despite unfavorable poll results. Leitner emphasized that the party would not be a spoiler for the right-wing bloc, but rather aimed to attract tens of thousands of Haredim who are disillusioned with established politicians and encourage them to vote for the new party, referred to as 'Zah'.
