The Rabbi of Pittsburgh, associated with Agudat Yisrael, has warmly blessed MK Avi Maoz, chairman of the Noam L'Yisrael party, wishing him great success in his work for Judaism. "I have heard a lot about you; everyone knows you truly care about Yiddishkeit," the Rabbi stated during their meeting. "I very much want you to succeed, it is very important. I bless you from the bottom of my heart."

This blessing follows a series of meetings and endorsements Maoz has received recently from various rabbis and Haredi public leaders.

Mazuz.

Throughout his tenure in the Knesset, MK Avi Maoz has consistently worked to strengthen Jewish identity and preserve the Jewish character of education in Israel. He has also repeatedly stood by yeshiva students and Torah scholars, advocating for the interests of the Torah-observant public. This activity is highly valued by segments of the Haredi public, who see him as a loyal partner in the struggle for Jewish values and the status of Torah study.
