Rabbi Eliezer Kashtiel, a respected rabbi from the settlement of Eli and a veteran educator in the Religious Zionist community, has surprisingly called for votes for the Noam party. Rabbi Kashtiel, known for his usual avoidance of partisan politics, made his statement following an explicit request for him to publish his views. He initially downplayed the significance of his opinion, stating that his letter was unnecessary as he typically refrains from public endorsements due to various reasons and does not consider himself worthy of commenting on matters discussed by "great leaders of the generation." However, he then expressed that the Noam movement operates for the sake of heaven under the guidance of "great leaders of the generation," without detracting from the merits of other parties also guided by such leaders. He concluded by suggesting that individuals should vote according to their own path, trusting divine guidance for the benefit of all Israel.
