Prominent Rabbi Backs Avi Maoz's Noam Party Ahead of Elections

Rabbi Tzion Buanoun, a former member of the Grand Rabbinical Court, has publicly endorsed Avi Maoz's Noam party, urging his students to vote for the party and work towards its success in the upcoming elections. The party announced the letter of support on Tuesday, ahead of the elections scheduled for the next day.

According to the party's statement, Rabbi Buanoun's call was made in a handwritten letter. Additionally, Rabbi Moshe Tzadka, head of the Porat Yosef Yeshiva, reportedly blessed the party's representatives and encouraged their activities, stating, "I wish you success, you are doing important things, and whoever truly acts for the sake of Heaven, I certainly strengthen him, and may the pleasantness of the Lord be upon you." The statement did not include an explicit call from Rabbi Tzadka for people to vote for the party.

The Noam party is linking this rabbinical support to Maoz's efforts on behalf of the Haredi public and yeshiva students, highlighting the party's stances on the draft issue and its work to strengthen Judaism's standing in public spaces.

Alongside rabbinical backing, Noam reported on an internal poll conducted by Smith Institute last week. The poll indicated that 2.7% of respondents intended to vote for the party, with an additional 6% considering it. The party claims these figures show a rising trend in support.
